Outpost is an impressively annoying free-to-play survival game that might be great one day

Just 45 minutes of Outpost was enough to make me angry seven times about seven different things that the game does wrong. That’s roughly one wrong thing every six and a half minutes. I’m sure you’ll agree that’s pretty impressive.

It’s a shame, because reading up on Outpost before I started playing, I found about one promising thing every six and a half seconds. A cute little free-to-play top-down survival game, with pared-back resource gathering and tower defence elements, set in a pretty low-poly procedural world filled with angry nocturnal chickens? There’s not a single word of this that doesn’t appeal to me. So where does it all fall apart?
