Outcast – Second Contact Review

Whilst it may not be one of the first titles from 1999 that our minds flick back to, there was another game that arrived that year that too; one which has had a huge influence on gaming, and on the open world RPG genre particularly. The game I’m talking about is Outcast, one of the first 3D open-world adventures to cause excitement within the gaming community. Had it not been for that successful venture in 1999, things could have been very much different for the genre that we so frequently enjoy today. But in a day and age in which open-world RPGs saturate a vast part of the gaming market, can Outcast maintain its standing as a fine RPG/action-adventure title? I jumped in to the recently remastered adventure to find out.
