More about Outward Definitive Edition
Steam's global achievement data puts about 3 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 32-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Players rate it 73 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 54 percent. Something recent has soured the room. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 13 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 28 percent of the 2,461 reviews written there were positive, against 73 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (time-limited); the score docks it lightly for that.
Finishing takes 32 hours; clearing it takes 98, which is 3.1 times the campaign.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

22 hours! Ive run around an empty world for about 18-20 of them. Maybe they'll get it right on the new one. This seems like a 2005 game WoW or something. feels unrewarding for the effort.
I've sunk 100s of hours into this game, both the Steam version and GOG (because I like sandboxing modded versions). I can tell you this - its different. For example, a lot of its difficulty (and this seems intentional by the devs), is actually built into its UI/UX. Case in point - you have gauges for health, stamina, and mana, but no numeric indicators on them. For a game where maximizing efficiency is key, you...

About the game
No remarkable journey is achieved without great effort. In Outward, the cold of the night or an infected wound can be as dangerous as a predator lurking in the dark. Explore the vast world of Aurai solo or in Co-op. The Definitive Edition features both DLCs and quality of life improvements.
