Outland Review

Developers:-  Housemarque
Publisher:-     Ubisoft
Platforms:-     Xbox Live arcade
                     Playstation Network
Genre:-          Platform

Review:-Outland is a beautiful 2d platformer with action elements.The game mainly revolves around using light and dark energies which allows players to attack enemies and pass through various obstacles and barriers.
Along the way, players learn special powers from large shrines, from simple melee attacks to the harnessing of Light and Dark energy. Players can also collect hidden objects called "Masks of the Gods" in order to unlock extras such as concept art or enhanced in-game abilities.
Players also have an option to experience the entire storyline online with a friend in co-operative mode. There are also co-op challenges scattered throughout the world that can be unlocked and played when in co-op mode.
In addition to the main storyline, there is an Arcade Mode that puts the player to the test by putting a set time for the player to traverse throughout an entire region and defeat its protector. For example, in the Jungle's Arcade Mode, the player has 15 minutes to travel throughout the entire Jungle and defeat the Golem in the end. The highest scores are posted online on a leaderboard. Flipping a switch, pausing the game, and dying halt the timer. Arcade scores increase with multipliers that drop from enemies, and a bonus is given depending on how much time is left after the protector is defeated. An Arcade chapter for one area is unlocked as soon as the area itself is unlocked.

Final Thoughts
:-For 9.99$ outland is a steal,Looking at what the game has to offer and how stunning it looks,the game is a must buy.

My Score
:-9.2/10
