    [​IMG]PCGamesN takes a look at Outcast: Second Contact - a remake of the cult-classic Outcast from 1999:

    Outcast: Second Contact feels archaic, but perhaps it's just what fans need
    [...]

    Time has not been kind to 3D games of the '90s, and Outcast is no exception. Coming to the original fresh almost twenty years late, it's not hard to be instantly put off by its clumsy mechanics and muddy, smeared world. It's hideous, it's impossible to play... and it's easy to see why it has an adoring fan base. Back in 1999, that open world must have been mind-blowing.

    Outcast is a cult classic in the most traditional of ways. It's not a widely-loved game that's a bit niche; it genuinely is only loved by a small faction of gamers who recall its impact. As such, a previous attempt to bring the game back fell flat on its face. The 2014 Kickstarter never even made it to the half-funded point of its $600,000 ask. Appeal were undeterred though, and so raised the money themselves through the sale of an Outcast re-release.

    And now we have Outcast: Second Contact, a complete remake that feels very much made for the fans. And that may be both its best feature and demise.​
