  • Faithful and high-quality remaster that preserves the charm and feel of the original game while updating graphics and adding modern conveniences like quick save/load, widescreen support, and controller compatibility.
  • Outstanding soundtrack that is a tribute to spaghetti westerns, greatly enhancing the atmosphere alongside hand-drawn cutscenes and authentic western aesthetics.
  • Engaging and tactical gameplay with satisfying gun mechanics, challenging difficulty levels, and well-designed levels that reward exploration and strategic combat.
  • The price is considered high by many reviewers, and some suggest waiting for a sale as the content and length might not justify the full cost.
  • Certain levels feature confusing layouts and obscure puzzles that can be frustrating and may require walkthroughs to progress.
  • Some hit detection issues and minor glitches persist, such as enemies sometimes being hard to hit despite being in clear view, and inconsistent enemy AI behavior.

    The story in Outlaws is a straightforward yet charming spaghetti Western revenge tale, told through stylish hand-drawn animated cutscenes that add personality and immersion. While simple and familiar, the narrative effectively complements the diverse classic Western settings and engaging characters, offering a nostalgic and well-crafted backdrop despite occasional cryptic level progression. Overall, it stands out as a beloved, classic story that enhances the game's atmosphere and replayability.

    • “The story is a simple tale of revenge, but the characters are written well enough to keep you engaged.”
    • “The story is a very straightforward revenge tale, but told through animated cutscenes that looked incredible at the time, and still look stylishly beautiful today.”
    • “The strength of the game lies in its story, told in charming cel-shaded illustrated cutscenes between the levels.”
    • “The level design for the story missions is pretty solid overall except for the maze structures in mission 5 with the water canals. There is a major issue with traversal because there are many moments where I was baffled about how to progress, like the historical mission in the ice caves where you need to use a shovel to dig on the ice, the villa level where you get a bucket of water for the well at the start, mission 9 where you step on a tile to open a bookcase, and getting crowbars to get through stuck doors and hidden doors. The game feels cryptic in its progression and poorly communicates to the player that these actions are needed. You can get sheriff badges which serve as power-ups, but the game doesn’t tell you what each specifically does.”
    • “The story is very straightforward revenge tale but told through animated cutscenes that looked incredible at the time and still look stylishly beautiful today, though it is nothing groundbreaking.”
    • “Every level in the main story is some clichéd scene from a western movie, and you'll visit all the greatest hits - from old west towns, to a train, to an old fort and canyon. It's impressive how well these scenes are realized with the tech of the time, but the story itself is fairly simple.”

    The graphics of this remastered game are praised for effectively updating the visuals while preserving the original's unique style and nostalgic charm. Reviewers appreciate the easy toggle between original and remastered graphics, allowing players to choose their preferred look. Although some prefer the classic visuals to match untouched cutscenes, the remaster is generally seen as a tasteful enhancement that holds up well on modern hardware.

    • “The Nightdive remaster itself succeeds wonderfully in its purpose: optimizing the nearly 30-year-old game for today's hardware and updating the visuals without diverting from the original style or tone.”
    • “Graphics on the remaster are fantastic and this game holds up the test of time well.”
    • “The remaster allows you to switch graphic modes at the press of a button, which quickly lets you compare how different the art style is.”
    • “The game is quite plainly hideous and most of the remastered graphics appear to just be the result of bad AI upscaling.”
    • “Graphics are of course terrible but omg the gameplay is so flipping fun!”
    • “Even Quake, with its updated graphics, felt more like a Doom upgrade (thematically) at the time.”

  • music

    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    66% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised as an outstanding western-inspired soundtrack by Clint Bajakian, often likened to Ennio Morricone's iconic work, and is considered a standout feature that greatly enhances the game's atmosphere and replayability. The soundtrack, combined with memorable cutscenes, contributes significantly to the game's unique and immersive presentation, making it a highlight even for those who may find other gameplay elements dated.

    • “Clint Bajakian's superb soundtrack, which is worth listening to on its own.”
    • “The best old west soundtrack for a video game ever made.”
    • “A western FPS with hand-drawn cutscenes and a phenomenal Ennio Morricone tribute soundtrack by Clint Bajakian.”

  • gameplay

    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    23% positive mentions, 63% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    The gameplay is praised for its well-crafted blend of tactical, slow-paced area clearing and classic cowboy shootouts, featuring innovative mechanics like sniper zoom and realistic reloading that were groundbreaking at the time. While some find the shooting repetitive, the engaging variety of situations, polished updates, and nostalgic old-school style keep the experience enjoyable. Overall, it balances challenge and accessibility, appealing strongly to fans of 90's-era shooters and boomer-style gameplay.

    • “Insanely well put together gameplay, with a nice story and (mostly) non-frustrating maps.”
    • “It was the first game to feature a sniper zoom, and also one of the earlier games to show off the reloading mechanic for weapons. The reloading mechanic was a big deal for a western shooter, so to see it in a game like this was significant at the time.”
    • “You can have your awesome cowboy shootouts in each level, but most of your moment-to-moment gameplay is going to be very tactical, clearing areas slowly.”
    • “It doesn't quite have the gameplay loop of other games of the time, and that really pays off.”
    • “Speaking of nostalgia vision though, the gameplay isn't as great as I remember.”
    • “The gameplay experience is a bit repetitive when it comes to shooting down enemies but the loop is engaging enough and the situations have enough variety to keep you going through the end.”

  • replayability

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, -50% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    Replayability is considered quite high due to unique and believable maps, a challenging hard mode that defines the experience, and compatibility with custom maps, though these are relatively scarce. While some puzzles may cause frustration for players unfamiliar with older game design, the varied settings and engaging story provide a satisfying and enduring shooter experience. Overall, the game offers good value for its content and remains appealing to both nostalgic and modern audiences.

    • “Play it on the hardest difficulty, which for me is the definitive Outlaws experience that sets it apart from other 90s shooters. Replay value is quite high here, with maps that are both unique and believable. The game features diverse locations such as big ranches full of rustlers, old Spanish forts in the desert, muddy town streets with saloons and banks, rifle fights in wide canyons, pueblo ruins, and a train level with linear car-to-car fights. The story is akin to a Louis L'Amour short story and serves as a perfect backdrop. Additionally, this modern port supports custom maps, offering extended replayability despite the smaller community.”
    • “Replay value is quite high with unique and believable maps that may challenge players unfamiliar with older puzzles and environmental storytelling typical of the DOS, PS1, and N64 era. The game offers a variety of settings, including expansive ranches, desert forts, town battles, canyon sniping, pueblo ruins, and a train fight sequence. Its story is simple yet lovable, enhancing the overall experience. The modern port's compatibility with custom maps adds further replay opportunities, though the community and map availability are smaller compared to other classic shooters.”
    • “This game stays true to the original while updating it to be more playable and watchable for modern audiences. It's an absolute must-play for anyone who enjoys shooters, offering a solid replay experience through its engaging levels and classic gameplay.”
    • “Replay value is quite high here, and the maps are both quite unique and believable, though some points will probably irritate you a bit if you aren't acclimated to older puzzles and environmental storytelling. If you didn't live through the DOS, PS1, and N64 era, you may experience frustration on the sawmill map. Also, the modern port supports custom maps, but the community is small compared to games like Doom or Duke3D, so you have to search to find them.”
    • “This modern port is compatible with custom maps, but the Outlaws community isn't nearly as big as those for Doom, Blood, or Duke3D. As a result, the level of support is limited, and players need to scrounge around to find custom maps. Nevertheless, they are out there and worth playing.”
    • “While some of the puzzles can be annoying, the game is still surprisingly replayable.”

  • atmosphere

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, -33% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The atmosphere is praised for its authentic spaghetti western vibe and strong 90's era PC game feel, though some note that the updated version focuses more on graphics than enhancing the original's atmospheric elements like music. Overall, the atmosphere remains a highlight for fans of classic western settings.

    • “The story, gameplay, atmosphere, and sound design of Outlaws still hold up very well today, and it is worth a play for anyone who loves 90's era PC games.”
    • “The actual gunplay feels pretty good and the atmosphere is peak spaghetti western.”
    • “But the music and atmosphere are significant; however, if you play only for that, you might skip this version as it only improves on graphics.”
    • “But the music and atmosphere, if you play only for that, you can skip this version, as it only improves on graphics.”

  • grinding

    Grinding in the game becomes tedious and punishing, making progression feel frustrating despite the solid weapon mechanics and immersive setting. Some map puzzles and layouts further add to the sense of repetitiveness, potentially detracting from the overall experience.

    • “Then it falls apart and becomes very tedious.”
    • “The game is painful and pulls no punches, and some of the map puzzles and layouts are frustrating and tedious, but it's worth it if you can get past that.”

  • optimization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game is well-optimized, allowing high frame rates such as 160 FPS on a mid-range GPU like the RTX 4060.
