Rebel Galaxy Outlaw

« Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, like the first, is a single-player only affair, which might disappoint some. It shouldn’t, though. There are easily tens of hours worth of adventure in just a single playthrough. With the ability to take different paths, replayability is high. Outlaw improves on an already great game in all the right ways and the result is the best open-space adventure in years. »

« I can’t say enough good things about Rebel Galaxy Outlaw. It’s a sucker punch aimed at all the bloated, morbidly obese space sims out on the market today. Yes, there’s room for them, too. But Outlaw distills the ‘90s space-combat and trading sim into a great-looking, great-playing game for a new generation. »

« Rebel Galaxy Outlaw represents a true spiritual successor to Freelancer and similar games. If you are a fan of spaceship shooters and simulators this game is a must-have. Even with a few minor faults, it is worth the admission ticket. »

« Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is a fun and addicting space combat game with an amazing soundtrack. However, controls can be really weird without a game controller and playing it for the first time is very daunting unless one watches a 40 minutes long introductory/tutorial video. »

« You also have to give the developers a lot of credit for how much fan service and configurability they've put into the game. »

« Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is a very successful throwback to the days of dogfighting games like Star Wars: X-Wing and Wing Commander: Privateer. It smartly updates the gameplay with optional assists that make it a snap to jump in and get right to the most satisfying parts of the action. This open area of space we’re free to defend or exploit is full of side activities (including a crazy ship-painting tool), and those blunt the inherent repetition of fighter-vs-fighter combat scenarios. And the story – while definitely padded out more than it needs to be – is suitably small-scale and personal for a mercenary/smuggler type like Juno Markev. »

« The combat is fast, frenetic and consistently challenging, although that challenge can sometimes feel impossible without stepping back and grinding out some progress elsewhere, which quickly gets frustrating. Thankfully the core of the game--its combat, trading, and space flight--are all superb and had me launching into the stars for many hours of galactic trading and explosive firefights. »

« Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is like the little, cool brother of Elite Dangerous. It’s not as huge and doesn’t offer the variety in terms of ships or planets compared to it’s older sibling, but at the end of the day, Outlaw is just plain fun. »

« Bad, really extremely bad, difficulty is out of it's mind tried so hard because I loved the first one but just terrible. »

« Kinda playable, but really HUUUUGE step back in comparison to Rebel Galaxy. The devs are privateer fans and wanted to do something similar, breaking the game in result. Very limited number of ships (the best can be bought after a few hours of playing, in the first system where we start the game). No capital ships - your choice is limited to flying garbage truck, bulky transport or fighter. If you like the first RG there is a high chance you will not like this one. »

« I was hungry for some old-style space combat. Unfortunately, this game plays worse than Wing Commander, you just need to point your reticle in the general direction of the enemy and let aim assist do the rest (you can also press a key in combat and the ship will automatically pursuit the enemy for you, but I REFUSE to do it - might as well let the PC play by itself). Not that you would go very far without aim assist, because of the insane aerobatics the AI pulls, and especially because of balance. Instead of forcing you to carefully make every shot count, they give you auto aim and make you fight at least five enemy ships at a time, all of them spamming missiles one after the other. I'm pretty sure a single mission had me take out at least thirty enemies, including the random encounters on the way between waypoints. Especially bad are those instances where you reach your third mission goal (scan something, pick up special cargo, etc.) only to have five or six enemy ships instantly MATERIALIZE right behind you, taking out all of your shields in less than one second. No tactics, just point towards an enemy and try to take it out as fast as possible. No planning a careful approach: enemies can instantly materialize anywhere. Ship upgrade? Yes, but pretty disappointing overall, especially since the enemies level up at least as fast as you. While their ships have outwardly remained the same, they take more shots before exploding now than they did at the start, and my firepower is 7-8 times as much. So there is absolutely no feeling of growing, improving, you actually become comparatively weaker the more you upgrade your ship. Compare this to the Starpoint Gemini approach, where you start with a very small ship and have to carefully avoid combat with most enemies, but as you improve, you capture bigger and better ships and eventually can duke it out with the strongest. Better play something else, like the X games or the old Descent Freespace. »

« I played the original and loved it. When the prequel was announced, I would have bought it day **** it went exclusive to Epic. I got over that as it is a small team and they needed the money from Epic. So I waited a year for it to come out on Steam, where the original fans made the series popular. I asked in both the discord server and the twitter page, but was told rudely both times that unlike almost all other former Epic exclusives, there would be no sale of any type. Nothing, not even a coupon if you owned the original game. So I created a post on the discussion forum and it grew to be the largest post there, with multiple people wondering why they were treating the original fans this way. In return, they used the minimum possible excuse to ban me without warning for 30 days. All for calling a known Epic troll a shill. I won't be buying anything from this company in the future. They rode the fan's backs to get cash from Epic and sold us out. »

« Game seem like it could be fun but I'm making this review to help save someone some money. The controls **** (on controller) as well as the options to change them. Having pitch and roll on separate analog sticks makes it unplayable. If I would have known that I wouldn't have wasted my money. »

« I loved the first rebel galaxy, the broadside combat was great, the music was amazing, and I have replayed it multiple times because there is nothing like it out there. Outlaw is a cheap generic dogfighting game that doesn't even work on a joystick properly. It is unoriginal, the combat is based on auto-follow, so holding a button, and well... I have seen dozens of dogfighting games that are better, so I don´t know why they abandoned their original and successful format. Do not buy »
