This game is not for everyone, there is little to no hand-holding in this open world RPG. You will die a lot. Like I mean a lot. But you will then hopefully learn from those deaths and before you know it you will be running around with little fear and able to kill anything. The no-one to some-one narrative allows you to grow your character and own skills in the game, but this process may become a little too tedious for some.

Remember, this game was developed from a small passionate team, the graphics are not AAA. However, they are presented well and they have not tried to overreach their capabilities. They do not detract from the game and provide a unique style which sets it apart from the other games of recent releases.

There is no fast travel, no quest markers, no in-game map that tells you where you are. You are not told how to survive, instead you have to learn how to survive. The game mechanics allow you to develop your character in your own play style, each providing a drastically different experience. This is all done via purchasing the skills and unlocking the ability to use mana. The acquisition of money is akin to experience in other games, with cash you can buy items and skills which drastically affect the way you experience the game, providing you use it wisely.

When you hit a wall in this game, hit up YouTube and find some secret items or weapons, a new build or use it to understand the mechanics. There is an excellent YouTube community with outward that helps make the sometimes-lonely journey more engaging.

TLDR; Good game with some solid mechanics, great community & development team. Can be tedious with a long learning curve. Worth playing if you enjoy older style of games. Make sure you YouTube if you’re stuck or not enjoying the game...
