Outward
SCORE: 50
Christ Centered Gamer had an extra key for
Outward on the Playstation 4 (PS4) and offered it to us. It was decided
Family Friendly Gaming would check it out. Our emperor forgot to check
the rating. If you want to know why FFG is reviewing a macabre and
morbid video game you now have the reason. Outward is an 11.1 gig
download. Which is huge. Hopefully the older members of the family will
have enough disk space for it. There is a physical copy version of this
game at retail.
The areas are large and the loading time is lengthy. There are a number
of characters we can interact with. There is a story in this role
playing video game that might interest you if you feel like paying back
debt. In a way it is lame the players are expected to walk into a game
with the main character already owing money and expected to pay back in
a certain time frame. Especially after getting ship wrecked near the
town.
The issues families will have with Outward are blood, gore, violence,
magic, occult, false gods, nudity, and more. There are a lot of angry
characters in Outward. We can appease them by doing things for them.
There are also some really odd characters and deep history. Outward
reminds me of older Elder Scroll games – just not as good. Players must
rest and eat in Outward.
There are a lot of things that can kill you in Outward. We can get sick
and die. Monsters can kill us. We are stopped from going certain places
based on what items we need. The best example is leaving the town. So we
have to find certain items to go adventuring. We gather and craft in
Outward. We also learn from certain characters. The combat system is
pretty light. More work went into the occultic magical system.
The voice acting is okay at times. The music in Outward can get creepy.
We can only carry so much before we exhaust our character. This reminds
me of Ultima Online. Outward feels more like a survival game than a role
playing game to me. Outward is only for the hardcore older members of
the family. Casual gamers will not enjoy Outward. In fact they will
wonder what sick mind made such a game.
