    Outcast: Second Contact Review

    First released in 1999, Outcast is a sci-fi open-world shooter adventure that rose to cult classic status thanks to its uniqueness and how it influenced future generations of open-world titles. Unfortunately, the game developed by Appeal isn't widely known today. Much like the iconic Anachronox, Outcast was supposed to have a sequel that was soon canceled due to the studio's bankruptcy. The original developers are now jumping back into the video game industry with Outcast: Second Contact, an HD remake of the original game.
    [...]
    In the end, Outcast: Second Contact does what it set out to do: to introduce the cult classic to younger audiences whilst giving older fans a prettier version. The graphics make a huge difference, but one has to ask if they should charge $30+ for an 18-year-old game-and this is more important in countries where the price is deliberately higher. Its mechanics received little to no improvement but on the other hand, this re-release is the best way to experience one of the unspoken influences of modern open-world games.
