Apple Arcade review #25: Outlanders
A pleasantly bucolic village management game, I found Outlanders mostly relaxing and enjoyable and, yes, pleasant. The pastel art is appealing, the audio and music are unobtrusive, and the user interface — albeit quite small — is perfectly usable on the iPhone, though better suited to tablet and desktop. I’ve only played a few missions, but the challenges seem well balanced. Variety and longevity is a different question, and I haven’t played it long enough to answer that, but if you’re not looking for a game that will consume dozens of hours of your time, and town management games are your jam, this is perfectly pleasant jam.
