If you want to buy this game, don't expect a mere shooter in a beautiful scenery. Outcast is more. You will not shoot most of the time, but walk around and collect things, look for people, talk to them and do different quests. The enemies are respawning really slowly, or, depending on the place you are, they don't at all.

The game is really easy to play. I am the roundbased RPG type and usually very bad at shooters, for I have a slow reaction and can't stay calm under (time) pressure. If this sounds familiar, give the game a try. The AI will be worse than you in any case. ;)

The world, a parallel universe, is complex and authentic, but most of all absolutely beautiful.
The protagonist and other characters are quite amusing, and so are the Twon'Ha, two-legged reptiles you can ride on.

You follow a predefined story, but in the order you like, for it's an open world. There are some minor decisions you can make on your own, and of course there are some nice sidequests.

You have six weapon types altogether, but to achieve your goals, you can also use other equipment.
The menu is easy to operate and you will find your way into the game quickly.

Outcast is a really cool game! Only experienced shooter players will maybe be bored.^^
Have fun! :)
