Yeah the comparison to Outward is right on.

I played Outward on Ps4 for maybe the first few hours and ended up trading it in after that.

I enjoyed the time I spent in that game and might end up going back to it someday.

Spell Master feels more like my kinda thing right out the gate tho ,its hard to say exactly why right now, it just ticks so may boxes right from the get go.

Ill try and sum up my thoughts about it when I make my post and upload the footage I have tomorrow.

Did you ever play any of the Gothic games? I never got round to picking any of them up but I have watched some lets plays. I can see where these devs got the inspiration for this title.

One other thing , did you ever play Everquest 2?

I read in their forums they are opening a brand new Lore and Legend server on Feb 22nd.Its giving new players the first 7 of EQ2's expansions to play around in but every new character starts at lv 90 with a full set of gear.

Going to lower level zones will auto scale a character to that zones content level so basically grinding exp is not a thing and the focus is on experiencing content without worrying about levels or gear.

It sounds really interesting ,Ive never seen any MMO do that before....7 expansions open on day 1 of the server launch is an insane amount of content.

The main thing is gaining achievement's for completing content and getting a place on the achievement leader board.

If you haven't played Everquest 2 before it might be worth taking a look at, I will definitely be jumping in on the 22nd,we could colab and make some vids.I know the content of EQ2s first 4 expansions really well ,not to familiar with everything after that tho.

Here is the announcement post which gives some more info.
