Outcast - A New Beginning is a third-person open-world action-adventure where you once again step into the boots of Cutter Slade, a former marine sent to the alien world of Adelpha. The native Talan race is under threat, and it's up to you to lead a rebellion, explore exotic environments, fight enemy forces, and wield a customizable modular weapon while soaring through the skies with a jetpack.

The game has received a 78% positive rating on Steam. Players praise its world-building, visual style, voice acting, and the respectful continuation of the original game's spirit. The jetpack-based combat, weapon customization, and sense of adventure are frequently highlighted.
On the downside, some users report technical issues like bugs, occasional crashes, and inconsistent performance. A few also mention that the early parts of the game feel slow and some quests are repetitive.
