Out There: Oceans of Time

[h1] Out There: Oceans of Time [/h1] Space adventure game of 2022. Is a space exploration game that puts you at the helm of an interstellar exploration mission that spans a vast and vibrant cosmos. This describes the game perfectly. But the new edition of Out There is much more than that, much more. I'll give you an overview of the changes to the predecessor. Redesigned graphics for today's times and adapted to the game. Significant change in gameplay, away from text-heavy to adventure, on countless planets. But there is still plenty to read. Expanded expansion options for ships and the use of all kinds of raw materials. Introduction of crew management and introduction of RPG in the form of levels and experience building as well as a whole bunch of qualifications and their use. Addition of plenty of technology to take with you when exploring. Trading opportunities and events that have been significantly expanded. More ships, stations, options. I want to point out the RPG idea that has now been completely integrated into the game. It is surprisingly extensive and very complex. Here you can quickly make mistakes with far-reaching consequences in all aspects of the game. Exploring everything and everyone. An enormous crowd awaits you. This also leads to huge consequences in the course of the game, both when you did everything right, but especially when you didn't. The trade was well designed and it also has consequences, always talk to the locals beforehand and not afterwards. The actual storyline is very interesting with many aha effects and here too with catastrophic consequences that affect your decisions. Even between these points, there are always opportunities to make wrong or right decisions. These sometimes have unexpected consequences. I now have 20 hours and have once again reached an important point (see photo). Although I have completed all the previous points, I am missing something here. So far I haven't even died and have actually done everything there was along the way. However, I may have unknowingly overlooked something, somewhere. I found it in a place 19 hours ago. How good that I started completely new. Already found after an hour. Knowing what I now have, I should be able to avoid the mistakes I made along the way. The game is super good, so there's no reason to be upset about it. There are no bugs in the game, which really surprised me given its overwhelming size and complexity. This game requires a lot of intelligence, keep that in mind. The whole game is based on constantly and sustainably changing our entire galaxy. Through your decisions. A sensational gameplay, an almost unique gaming experience, with a game like no other of its kind. Is there a meaningful increase from highly recommended? Because that is true.

Ist ein Weltraumerkundungsspiel, bei dem du das Steuer auf einer interstellaren Entdeckungsmission übernimmst, die einen riesigen und lebendigen Kosmos umspannt. Dies beschreibt das Spiel perfekt. Die Neuauflage von Out There ist aber viel mehr als das, sehr viel mehr. Ich gebe euch mal ein Überblick über die Änderungen zum Vorgänger. Neu gestaltete Grafik der heutigen Zeit und dem Spiel angepasst. Deutliche Änderung des Gameplay, weg vom Textlastigen hin zum Abenteuer, auf unzähligen Planeten. Es gibt aber nach wie vor reichlich zu lesen. Erweiterte Ausbaumöglichkeiten der Schiffe und der Verwendung von Rohstoffen aller Art. Einführung einer Besatzungsverwaltung und Einführung von RPG in Form von Stufen und Erfahrungsaufbau sowie ein ganzen Haufen an Qualifikationen und deren Nutzung. Hinzunahme von reichlich Technik zur Mitnahme auf Erkundungstur. Handelsmöglichkeiten und Ereignisse die deutlich erweitert wurden. Mehr Schiffe, Stationen, Möglichkeiten. Hinweisen will ich hier auf den RPG Gedanken der nun komplett integriet wurde ins Spiel. Er ist erstaunlich umfangreich und sehr Komplex. Hier kannst du schnell mal Fehler machen mit weitreichenden Konsequenzen in allen belangen des Spiels. Erkundung von allem und jeden. Eine enorme Menge erwartet dich. Auch dies führt zu gewaltigen Konsequenzen im Verlauf des Spieles, sowohl wenn du alles richtig gemacht hast, vor allem aber wenn nicht. Der Handel wurde gut gestaltet und auch der hat Konsequenzen, immer erst mit den Einheimischen vorher Reden nicht erst danach. Der eigentliche Handlungsstrang ist sehr interessant mit vielen aha Effekten und auch hier mit katastrophalen Folgen, die deine Entscheidungen betreffen. Auch zwischen diesen Punkten gibt es immer wieder Möglichkeiten falsche oder richtige Entscheidungen zu treffen. Diese haben unerwartete Konsequenzen bisweilen. Ich hab nun 20 Stunden und bin mal wieder (siehe Foto) an einem Wichtigen Punkt angekommen. Obwohl ich alle vorhergehenden Punkte erledigt habe, fehlt mir hier etwas. Bislang bin ich nicht einmal gestorben und habe unterwegs eigentlich alles erledigt was es so gab. Dennoch habe ich unwissentlich Wohl irgendwas, irgendwo übersehen. Ich hab es gefunden an einem Ort 19 Stunden zurückliegend. Wie gut das ich komplett neu angefangen hab. Nach einer Stunde schon gefunden. Mit dem Wissen was ich nun habe sollten meine Fehler die ich so unterwegs gemacht habe zu vermeiden sein. Das Game ist super gut, also kein Grund sich darüber zu Ärgern. Es gibt keine Bugs im Spiel, was mich wirklich überrascht hat, angesichts der überwältigenden Größe und Komplexität. Dieses Spiel setzt eine Menge Intiligenz vorraus, beachtet das. Das ganze Spiel baut darauf auf unsere Komplette Galaxy ständig und nachhaltig zu verändern. Durch deine Entscheidungen. Ein sensationelles Gameplay, ein geradezu einmaliges Spielerlebnis, mit einem Game wie es kein zweites dieser Art gibt. Gibt es eine sinnvolle Steigerung von sehr Empfohlen? Denn trifft das zu.

Picked this up in the 2025 Spring Steam Sale. Bought this because I really liked the original Out There. Basic saves apparently do not work properly even in the latest version. I just lost hours and hours of progress. Totally unacceptable. Also annoying that 3440x1440 is not supported and info will clip off screen. Seriously? Frankly this is a Do Not Buy--you're putting any time invested at risk. I can live with the lack of proper widescreen support but saves breaking in a final version? That's unprofessional.

the game is fun, and had promise! sadly they announced the closure of the company so don't expect any updates...

A daring attempt to expand on Out There: Omega Edition, but sadly lost focus and fell flat. New ship management gameplay can be fun; ship navigation feels largely the same as OTOE; UI is streamlined with hotkeys, can have softlocks occasionally though but nothing can't be fixed with good old alt+f4, remember to save often. Unfortunately the core feature of OTOE: survival, is not here in OTOOT. Staying alive is so utterly trivial you have to actively sabotage your run to be in real danger of an early game over. Another core feature of OTOE, learning alien language is also getting sidelined here. Choosing the right response will only slightly alter the inventory of alien vendor and recruit roster. Hell, you can safely ignore the shopping system entirely, since resource is hardly a problem. And lastly, to me the real crime is the writing in this game. In OTOE the random events that happen when you jump to a new star did a good job setting the atmosphere of the game -- the dread in face of the unknown, the wonder of the universe, the helplessness of flinging oneself into the void using utterly inexplicable alien technology, the struggle to tread the fine line between functional and lunatic and functional lunatic, and mixed with a healthy does of body horror. But all this, is absent in OTOOT. The random encounters become few and far between, and what left of them reads as bland as the instructions printed on the back of your instant noodle package. The new protagonist, Cpt. Nyx and her sidekick are not that likable, and the main plot is... whatever. The canon ending also somewhat undermined the plot of OTOE, [spoiler] making the lone protagonist's self-imposed crusade to save humanity kind of a joke, since he/it is not human to begin with... [/spoiler] Oh and there's one steam achievement, [spoiler] Proto-Culture [/spoiler] , which is broken at the time of writing of this review. And the community manager over at the official discord confirmed there's no planned fix in sight, making it impossible to 100% this game. If you are into that kind of thing, avoid this game.

Broken in the same spot as the first time I played they still haven't fixed it !!

The game trashed over an hour of game time. I loaded my game and for some reason it had me far, far, far back from where I last was. I had saved at at least half a dozen White Dwarf save points, but it didn't load me there - it loaded me at the last major plot place, for some reason. I lost my new ship, an hour of my life. I was about to give this a thumbs up.

3/10 - SAVES ARE REALLY FAR APART. no reason for this..... - ship storage system is god awful. can hardly hold anything and i have no idea what to toss cause you have soo many different types of items and you can only hold a few stacks of them stacking up to 20 - i have the blueprint, i have the martial, why cant i build it??? not sure how far i need to go into the game to upgrade my ship or buy a new one, but i dont think im gonna make it - game crashed and i lost over an hour of play time....oof

This game did dissapoint a bit at launch but it having only mixed (53%) reviews currently is not doing the game as it is now justice. They later patched this game with a huge patch and since then many of the things it got scolded for initially have been corrected. Its now very playable with interesting mechanics and all the glitches i noticed at first seem to be gone. If you like survival roguelikes with a branching story and a nice crafting system you should try this.

The animation where you fly to/around a system look great. The ship and alien crew designs (as in, the visuals) look suitably alien. This gives you great screenshots and trailer footage. Everything else feels like it got about 80% done and then just... gave up. I guess the budget ran out and the developers had to move on to the next project, whether they wanted to or not. The alien crew and villagers are not [b]mechanically[/b] alien - their species has no impact whatsoever. That compares unfavourably with Star Control UQM (the free one), where each species had a distinct personality. The missions were... OK. Maybe get this at a deep discount, but even then, only maybe. https://store.steampowered.com/app/358920/Star_Control_I_and_II/

Game constantly crashes
