Game Info

An action platformer with a combat/interactivity system based on polarity, Outland focuses on a hero who can switch between light and dark forms, an ability he'll need to exploit in order to destroy monsters and avoid attacks. He'll take damage from opposite-colored bullets but will be impervious to those of the same polarity. He'll also only be able to control objects that match his polarity. By switching between forms, he will be able to solve platforming puzzles and crush enemies in this mysterious new land he finds himself in.

Bought years ago and tried several times to get into it but it just never gels with me, so I'm going to draw a line under it now.

I love the style, I think its more interesting shadowplay then limbo, the controls are fine (and works well on steam deck in spite of not being verified for it). But it all just feels a bit heavy sluggish and uninteresting, not just in platforming but story too.

Its one of those games that chances are you already have a more interesting and joyful platformer available to you now, that I (or you) would be better off playing, even ones I've beat I think I'd rather replay then continue playing this, like Ori or Dust or any of the Mario games, just to remember what joy feels like in playing a game.
