Outward is a creative RPG that's looking like one of 2019's most interesting releases, although it isn't without its faults.
The vast majority of role-playing games (RPG) start the same way: You play as some sort of heroic figure or Chosen One that's destined to vanquish an evil tyrant, saving the realm from his or her oppression. There's nothing wrong with this, but the trope has gotten fairly stale over the years. Outward, an upcoming RPG expected on March 31, laughs in the face of this cliché. In this game, you're nothing more than a commoner. Your first big quest isn't to save people or to defeat a sorcerer, it's simply to pay off the debt you owe a group of people so your house isn't forcefully taken away from you.
This makes the game stand out from the crowd, and it also lays an excellent foundation for great roleplaying. In Outward, you start with nothing, but with enough training, patience, and tenacity, you can become anything. The world of Aurai will chew up a commoner like you, but only if you let it — for the opportunist, its many systems and challenges offer a chance to craft a personal, unique story.
