What is Rebel Galaxy Outlaw?
Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is a modern take on Flight Simulators of the past like Freelancer and Privateer. You take control of Juno Markev as she traverses a set of interconnected star systems, taking missions and engaging in dog-fights to help propel your mission of revenge.
So it's just space combat/traversal?
You are also able to hang out in a "space-bar" and engage in side content like 8-ball, find missions or just relax and listen to the game's 24 hours of music.
How long is the exclusivity period on the Epic Games Store?
12 months.
I'm a newbie to the genre. Is this a good entry point?
Rebel Galaxy Outlaw has a bunch of difficulty and accessibility options. There have been additional tutorial elements added to the game since launch as well.
HOTAS and gamepad support?
Yes to both for PC. There is no HOTAS support on console (not being ruled out for the future though).
Am I limited to a cockpit view?
There is a third person view available.
How is this connected to the original Rebel Galaxy?
Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is a prequel to that game and you do not need to have played it to enjoy Outlaw.
Can I fly large capital ships?
No. The game is focused on smaller craft.
Steam workshop support?
Yes, but not as of this writing.
Can I buy and sell ships in-game?
Yes.
Next gen upgrades?
"No next-gen plans to announce currently."
Physical release?
It is being evaluated by the developers, but no guarantee of it happening.
Soundtrack?
No official soundtrack release but a playlist can be found here:

Can I customise my ship?
Yeah, and it's wild. *Note that the paint feature is only on the PC version of Rebel Galaxy Outlaw.
Metacritic | Opencritic
GameSkinny 8/10
Despite a few stumbles, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is one of the best space sims of recent memory, with strong characters, fast-paced combat, and amazing music.
