Year: 1999 Platform: Microsoft Windows By all rights, Outcast should be fondly remembered by millions as the pinnacle of nineties gaming. Featuring an expansive 3D open world two years before Grand Theft Auto III hit the PS2, Outcast gave players an unprecedented amount of freedom across its rich, fascinating environments. Set on the alien world of Adelpha, the game is primarily an action-adventure title with third-person shooter elements. It was possible to approach missions in a large variety of ways that suited your personal play style, and it was possible to explore anywhere from mountain peaks to dense forests. The gameplay was great, it featured an incredible orchestral soundtrack, and it was years ahead of its time from a technical standpoint. Seriously, what else does a game have to do to get noticed? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65eTQI4cicc
