Summary

Outward is an open world RPG that you play alone or with friends, either online or in splitscreen. It's more than just an open world RPG you can play coop though: it is an adventurer life simulator. You live the life of an adventurer, from his or her humble beginnings up until retirement. Your life isn't only about killing monsters and looting: you need to eat, drink and sleep; preparing accordingly before jumping into danger. Everything is meant to feel more real and consequential, while still taking place in a high fantasy universe with magic and exotic creatures.

Outward: Definitive Edition keeps its proposal intact on Switch and adds new content to the existing DLC to make the experience the most complete. Its level of demand and constant saving continue to make it one of the toughest and most surprising adventure games in the current catalog.

Good

An ambitious game that punches above its weight with unique RPG systems, survival mechanics and co-op support - and a lot of heart.

Worthwhile

There’s no doubt that it’s a pretty epic survival adventure experience, but it feels a bit compromised on the Switch
