Out There tells the story of an astronaut charged with making regular cargo flight between Earth and Jupiter's moon. To shorten his journey, he immersed himself in regular cryonics until he wakes up in a place which is completely unknown, not knowing how long he slept. The goal is to explore the area to find out what happened, but also to find any trace of civilization. We will however see that this journey is not easy and that death can be crossed at any moment ...
FTL without fighting
From there, Out There takes the form of a Rogue-like the FTL for example, since we explore a set of planetary systems randomly generated each party to discover a sequence of events always new. But unlike FTL, it is not about fighting, difficulty from resource management and storage of goods. But to get them, he must first know where to look. Be aware that gas planets may grant a certain amount of hydrogen and helium for fuel, the metal planets it possible to get useful iron to repair the hull of the vessel and a host of other components used a system rather complete craft, while other planets habitat contain between oxygen and carbon. It would therefore be tempted to keep everything in the hold, but things are not so simple. Indeed, the ship base includes only extremely limited number of storage locations, which requires difficult choices and taking maximum risk. Release of hydrogen in space and you'll be exposed to fuel exhaustion, a rare metal release and you will find perhaps never again.
This is even more true that it is possible to equip his ship with a number of modules, the many and varied functions. Some are required, like the cosmic bender which makes traveling from system to system, propellant interplanetary, the drill and probe hydrogen, while others are used to make life easier for example by increasing the amount material extracted, the shield or the maximum range of our ship. However, there are other powers for offering less sympathetic: a scanner to check what kinds of minerals on each planet before spending its fuel for landing, a terraforming tool capable of creating life on a metal globe or, conversely, a star destroyer creating a black hole that can be borrowed later by providing the appropriate module. And there are dozens as it is to find, crafter and equip a location free storage or finding plans on a planet that hosted life in the past, either through events choice multiple, or by interacting with various life forms that inhabit the galaxy and that will sometimes be inclined to help you.
The keys to a good replayability
Everyone is free to set its own goals based on their tastes and his mood. One can for example be carried away by history and extraordinary ambiance provided by graphics rather pleasing to the eye, a neat soundtrack work and excellent writing. Thus enjoy reading journal entries written by our hero on every trip, especially since they are extremely numerous, highly immersive and written in impeccable French. Others may try to collect vessels and thus store more and more resources, meet as many alien races to decipher the alien language, or different endings to unlock the program. The easiest way is to join a remote system (think still improve your drive before that, since the stars are more distant from each other), but there are others linked to the discovery of a superior alien race, terraforming, etc. You can also play the score and try to do well in the leaderboards, but in no case the task will be easy.
Death awaits the unwary and every second. Even when it is believed to be finally safe in a strong and full of resources ship, you can lose the game in a flash. For example, it may be subject to a choice between several roads on which there are alien words undeciphered. It is obviously possible to escape, but it is clear that great rewards await the adventurous. We then randomly chooses to hit the other side of the galaxy in a remote location without having sufficient range to reach the nearest star. It then remains only forfeit. Similarly, a single jump system can result in dysfunction of several modules. The unfortunate people who have spent all her iron a few seconds before then end up unable to repair and would end up forced to dismantle other important modules to survive, or even abandon it altogether. In short, we must be vigilant and weigh the pros and cons in every moment, which further improves the atmosphere a little more of this title for € 3.59 inevitable fact of office.
