This is another way in which the game mirrors reality. Without spoiling the game, we can tell you that none of Out There's endings are going to make you very happy. If you ever need a reminder of the challenge scientists are tackling, just play this game. We're constantly struggling with a limited pool of resources and technology, as we take our baby steps in the universe. We don't know any other species to lend us a hand with interstellar travel. Good science fiction is often based on established facts and science, and these celestial bodies really are so far apart. We are, in cosmic terms, facing a big challenge to even get to the nearest star. Even at that speed it would take us over four years to reach Proxima Centauri. The photon is travelling at the incredible speed of light (300,000 km per second) and yet it takes a whopping 45 minutes just to reach Jupiter. Take a look at the video below, which puts you in the proverbial shoes of a photon emitted from the sun. But it is hard to understand this without demonstration.
#OUT THERE OMEGA EDITION REVIEW CRACK#
It will take a significant stroke of luck - a miracle in fact - for us to crack that problem. The scale of the universe makes it near impossible to reach even our celestial neighbours.
We are nowhere near making the technological breakthrough to reach even the nearest star - Proxima Centauri - in any reasonable time frame. But this really is how the Universe works. A lot of players grumble about how this game has more to do with luck than skill. That brings us to the biggest complaint people have against Out There - it's unfair. Adding any technology to the ship takes up valuable storage space, so you are constantly juggling fuel and other raw materials, as well as technology you need to go back home. A shortage of storage space on most ships means that you can only carry so much fuel, oxygen. While there is no combat in this game, you are constantly struggling to reach the next planet or star system. Desperate to save humanity, he sets out to return to the solar system that's hundreds of light-years away. He has no clue how he got there and how his ship is suddenly equipped with the technology for interstellar travel. But when your character wakes up, he finds himself in an unknown part of space far from our solar system. Trapped in the solar system with limited resources, the species looks ripe for extinction. The plot is set in the future, but humans haven't yet figured out interstellar travel. It realistically simulates how insignificant we are in the grand order of things.Īt the start of the story, your character is in cryonic sleep on a mission to Jupiter's moon Ganymede. All of these things are welcome additions but none are essential features in this game because Out There does something we've come to expect from good science fiction - makes us consider our place in the universe.
#OUT THERE OMEGA EDITION REVIEW UPDATE#
It was one of our favourite games from 2014 and it recently got a major update that adds a new ending, ships, encounters, not to mention a spectacular graphics update.
Can a comic-book style space exploration game encompass the state of humanity in the universe? It sounds preposterous, but you might change your mind once you play Out There.
