Outpost: Infinity Siege

An incredibly unique mix of FPS, RTS, and tower defense ideas, Outpost: Infinity Siege is absurdly complicated but a whole lot of fun.

Outpost: Infinity Siege is an interesting mix of a first-person shooter and a tower defense strategy game. It tries to do way too much, but most of it feels half-baked. Its biggest strength is the wide range of customization options for your weapons and base. The game modes offer high replayability, but unfortunately, the game quickly becomes repetitive, and the main motivation to keep playing is largely the grind for new structures at the station, rather than the sheer enjoyment of the gameplay itself.

The Graphics in Outpost: Infinity Siege are impressive. Graphics are on a level with many AAA games being realistic, with distant terrain being rendered to a lower quality to give the effect of distance, giving it perfect realism. This also adds an excellent balance to performance with the game having quite good overall performance, with in-depth settings to fine-tune your experience. Animations from robots and defences are very smooth and look absolutely flawless.

Despite its laughable plot, Outpost: Infinity Siege starts with some potential. Unfortunately, the tedious rogue-like elements, extraction shooter resource gathering and other questionable design choices dilute the experience.

A tower defence game with a mix of gameplay elements, Outpost: Infinity Siege definitely stands out. However, a deeper dive into the game reveals a disconnect. The main problems stem from a design approach that's too limited and doesn't meet the actual needs of the player.
