Absolutely recommend to play this game! One of the best and innovative indie games of decade!
Fantastic atmosphere, exploration and music, it is all about journey instead of min maxing your stats, build and obtaining epic gear asap. And even then there is stats , various builds and tons of gear for you to find.
Of course it isn't AAA type game, but cmon, people recommend here even worse looking games with much tedious mechanics!
I rarely finish any new generation games, but I breeze through Outward and intend to play again with different faction. And right, it have this Gothic kinda feeling, when you travel around the world or try to outsmart your enemies.
