  Out of this World's amazing achievements far outweigh any of its problems.

  By Wootex | Review Date: Mar 21, 2007 | SNES

  It is not an exaggeration to say that Out of This World was the most cinematic console game ever made at the time of its release and for about five years after (until the Playstation). This fact makes this game a joy t... Read Full Review

  The 1991 cinematic platformer is just as impressive for it's cutscenes as it as at times frustrating to play.

  By AQWBlaZer91 | Review Date: Sep 26, 2018 | PS4

  Another World or Out of this World in US or Outer World in Japan is one of those pioneer games that truly deserves credit for it's place in the gaming industry. Originally developed for the Amiga in 1991 by Eric Chahi wi... Read Full Review

  Awesome chance to play a classic, if mildly flawed (cheap), game.

  By Dieknochenblume | Review Date: Jan 27, 2014 | PC

  Let me start by saying I never played the original game. I know, quite a shame, but this 20th anniversary version is the perfect chance to try it out. Be warned, though, despite colorful and beautiful new scenarios and s... Read Full Review

  Out of this World; yeah it really was.

  By gobluebuckeye | Review Date: Jul 08, 2013 | GEN

  I was given "Out of this World" as a Christmas gift, in conjunction with another game that I was honestly looking forward to playing way more than this new game I never even heard of before. Well, coming back to today, I... Read Full Review

  Renewed visuals haven't fixed dated core logic and general inconsistencies of this otherwise intriguing game.

  By deactivated-639e8b549249b | Review Date: Nov 29, 2012 | IOS

  Another World can be played through in under 25 minutes with no shortcuts provided one knows the correct actions, order and is competent during the action segments and somehow doesn't run into any in-game issues issues. ... Read Full Review

  Not my kind of game but it's great.

  By EliteNuke14 | Review Date: Apr 07, 2012 | PC

  I was gonna review Uncharted 3 but then I remember playing this game when I was 12 for the PC and I hated it at first. But 2 years later I replayed it and I realized this is a good game you won't find anywhere else. Sto... Read Full Review

  Another world/Out of this world is a good game made from the beginning of 90s. But it can be a little short and hard.

  By Ladron93 | Review Date: Jan 13, 2012 | PC

  I've played this game when I was almost 11, some guy who owned a PC. It's a long story that I had a lot of fun with this game and I enjoyed it. This sci-fi game doesn't have a lot of dialogue so the game has some acti... Read Full Review

  A lone, unsuspecting man gets caught in a freak accident and thrown into a huge, deadly, hostile alien world.

  The concept is all there, but the execution leaves A LOT to be desired.

  By CKeen666 | Review Date: May 06, 2011 | SNES

  I'm gonna get straight to the point in this review: This game belongs to the category of platformers that aren't action-based like mario or mega man but rather puzzle-based. If you've ever played any oddworld 2d game, we... Read Full Review

  Hey, this is a great game, wanna play? Yeah! OK, one condition: you have to repeat every game part 1000 times. Deal?

  By duke_bitterman | Review Date: Oct 22, 2010 | PC

  Eric Chahi and his crew members must be a bunch of sadistic geniuses, they make such great games, show them to people but then do not let them play. OK, actually they do, but they make repeating every part of their games... Read Full Review

  Simply the delivery of a genius (Eric Chahi), Another World is a game not to be missed for any reason.

  By crimes73 | Review Date: Sep 06, 2010 | PC

  I almost feel like I am letting this game down because I am rating it 9.5 instead of 10 like it would perhaps deserve. The reason behind not getting a perfect score is that I believe this game to be a bit too hard fo... Read Full Review
