From GameWatcher: “Survival RPG Outward can, undoubtedly get rough at times. You’re a regular adventurer, after all, and not some chosen one. But it’s easy to overlook that it can also get lonely as you’re travelling from town to town, looking to better yourself and find more loot. That’s why having a companion like the Outward Pearl Bird Pet could make travelling a bit less lonely.”
