Press AttackGuilherme Gonçalves RibeiroMay 20268.5/10Outbound is an exploration and base-building game developed and published by Square Glade Games. Aboard your electric van, embark on a journey through nature, enjoying the scenery and building a retractable base on the vehicle's roof. The Outbound festival awaits you at the end of this trip, but enjoying the journey along the way will make it a lot of fun.

CGMagazineJordan BiordiMay 20267.5/10Outbound is a super-cozy trek through the wilderness that prioritizes player freedom, but might be too slow for fans of the genre.

Nintendo LifeMichelle See-ThoMay 20267/10Outbound is a relaxing journey that will please anyone who wants to get away without going anywhere. Extensive exploration and a satisfying gameplay loop make for a joyful experience, and it's easy to lose hours to driving around in your camper, collecting logs and unlocking new biomes. A few visual and control gripes might form bumps in the road, but otherwise this is a fun ride.

Checkpoint GamingAnna MontiMay 20264/10Outbound struggles to justify its own loop. It presents a beautiful, yet empty, isolating space that exists without tension or inscribed drive.
