John Fletcher of EB writes: "Where other games might suffer in the face of the unforgiving gameplay of Out There, Mi-Clos Studios have managed to craft a story and visual style interesting enough to keep pulling you back for another attempt. This mixture made the original a hit on the app stores, and now Omega Edition is looking to expand the audience onto PC and Mac. So is the shiny remake worth your download? Or has the polish rubbed off some of the originals charm?"
Grab It:
"We first posted about the huge incoming update to Mi-Clos Studio's excellent Out There back in July 2014, and the iOS version has finally landed today. We've had a brief chance to jump in and check out the shiny new makeover and can confidently give it the thumbs up."
Out There completely nailed atmosphere with the whole package that it tied together with music, mystery, exploration and spaceship management.
You hear some complaining online about the random nature of deaths in this game and to me that is part of what makes the game. It's serene and beautiful and yet always has you on the knife's edge of death, which in a way keeps you in the moment and has you always paying attention to what is going on, due to every moment potentially being your last.
I found it a great experience, and the Omega Edition is just a big fat bonus.
A fantastic game that’s easy to learn, hard as hell to play, but you’ll enjoy every second of it.
It’s a good thing that in space nobody can hear you scream because Out There, by Mi-clos Studios, gives you plenty of reason to. A rogue-like space text adventure, Out There has you playing as an astronaut who wakes from his cryogenic slumber alone and lost in the universe. From there you have to find your way home whilst trying to keep your ship, and yourself, running and at the same time deal with the various dangers and oddities that the universe hurls at you.
