Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster

Outlaws + Handful of Missions Remaster resurrects a forgotten 90s treasure for today’s audiences. Its legendary soundtrack remains as brilliant as ever, now paired with a refreshed look that lets this classic spaghetti western shine once again.

Outlaws + Handful of Missions Remaster is yet again another fine Nightdive re-release with all the bells and whistles you would come to expect from them, another diamond in the rough put out for fans of the boomiest and shootiest to get to grips with and this is why we love them. The game wasn’t really on my radar up until release and I can honestly say I fell in love almost instantly with it.

Nightdive Studios did a wonderful job with Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster. This spaghetti western, first-person shooter from 1997 may seem goofy and harmless now, but that's what makes it so fun to play. Unfortunately, the credits roll too soon.

I think that this game will be one that fans of the original will adore – it’s always fantastic to see POV-only games from the ‘90s/00’s available on console, and Nightdive are the best at what they do – but the sheer design philosophies that run through the game from the original development will be a tough sell to modern audiences that aren’t familiar with the game, and I can imagine that it’s a bit of a hard sell. Whilst there’s online multiplayer, it would have been cool to see local multiplayer included here but overall, I’m just over the moon that Outlaws is finally available to play on console, as it’s a bit of a forgotten title that has a very unique personality that still shines through today, there’s nothing quite like it out there.

For those of us who played Outlaws when it first came out, it's a great treat to jump back into that world (especially without having to dust off the old CD and fiddle with compatibility modes). For those new to the game, the retro charm of the gameplay and the subject matter may be a fresh change from the standard sci-fi or World War shooter fare that tends to dominate the FPS category. Yes, there are some frustrating issues with the game… but those are simply elements we had to put up with back in the day, and the extra content provided here helps give you something to explore while your emotions cool from falling off a ledge or getting stuck figuring out where you need to go next. Worth a look for fans of the original release or for those who love a bit of retro gaming… maybe wait for a sale, but even at full price, there's a lot here to enjoy or reminisce about.

Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster is a good version of the original 1997 title that may bring a smile to the faces of those who played the original version...

Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster is a fitting tribute to an underrated gem from the glory days of FPS. As usual, Nightdive has done an excellent job of updating the game without sacrificing the original style and substance. The Outlaws remaster is one I’d suggest checking out, though you can decide for yourself if it justifies the $29.99 price tag.

A great way of taking Outlaws for a spin on new hardware

Long before Red Dead Revolver, Red Dead Redemption and Call of Juarez, we were immersed in the Wild West thanks to the video game Outlaws. It's now available in a solid remastered version. Unfortunately, the creators didn't fix the bugs that were present in the original game.
