My partner and I lived the virtual vanlife in Outbound, and it nearly sold us — but it struggled to hold my interest for long
Outbound is an easy-going survival game that puts risk-free exploration above all else. Its core gameplay loop is satisfying enough to keep you and a friend or three hooked for a couple of hours, but the lack of variety and ultimate purpose wears thin beyond that. Of course, the same can be said about many a cozy game, but the best examples always make the process immensely satisfying. Outbound is still a refreshing antidote to a fast-paced world, but barring any additional content updates, this might be one road trip you’ll want to cut short.
Pros
- +Relaxed yet satisfying gameplay loop
- +Inviting and atmospheric environments
- +Surprisingly involved base building
Cons
- -Limited interactivity
- -A little too aimless
