My local weather radar is a mostly frightening doohickey that I regard the way I assume Homo erectus might regard a quantum computer. Maybe that\u2019s why after <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1107320\/OUTBRK\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Outbrk\u2019s<\/a> tutorial told me how to identify the tell-tale, swirling \u201chook echo\u201d pattern that marks a potential tornado, I was more psyched than worried to be met with a deadly calamity only meters away.<\/p>\n<p>I assume this is how hardcore weather freaks feel all the time. Outbrk is a game about storm chasing: a hobbyist phenomenon where people willingly fly toward disastrous conditions in pursuit of a good photo and crucial weather data. If you\u2019ve seen Twister, it\u2019s like that. I mean, it <em>is<\/em> that. Probably.<\/p>\n<p>The setup is simple enough\u2014you\u2019ve got a car, a probe to measure wind speeds, a smartphone app to report special conditions and tornadoes to other players, and a camera to immortalize those tornadoes at their most photogenic. You\u2019ve got 25 shots at getting a few pictures good enough to be worth some cash, with close proximity and a clear view of the tornado setting you up for the biggest end-of-session payout. All that money goes toward new hairstyles and cosmetic upgrades for your car, so distinguished storm chasers will only want to settle for optimal-grade pictures. In the online mode, you\u2019ll be working together with others to find hotspots and racing around to report tornadoes, wall clouds and funnel clouds first.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are long stretches of downtime where you\u2019re just exploring the game\u2019s fictionalized take on American tornado country, but naturally, Outbrk is at its best when a promising storm rolls in. Once you\u2019ve got a target in mind, you\u2019re always easing toward danger or rocketing away from it; whether that\u2019s a hail storm trying to crack open your windshield or lightning striking way too close for comfort. It culminates in thrilling key moments where you risk your life\u2014and more importantly, your earnings\u2014all to get just a little closer to your subject.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"oct2iQ9UhmZP7KGzCs6V9d\" name=\"20240629103355_1.jpg\" alt=\"Outbrk storm chasing\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/i-was-almost-gleefully-torn-apart-by-a-tornado-in-this-janky-but-ambitious-co-op-storm-chasing-simulator.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Sublime)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In one of these moments, I was tailgating some other players who seemed to know a little more than I did. We all parked our cars to get a good look at some sheer winds showing signs of rotation. I slapped down my weather probe and scoped the surrounding storm with my camera, looking for anything interesting. Lots of rain and wind, but no tornado\u2014until, suddenly, there it was within striking distance of us.<\/p>\n<p>Several dozen minutes of slow-burning tension turned electric and giddy as I rushed to get a good photo, report it to everyone on the server, and then flee for dear life in my car, which was reeling and shaking with the rotating winds. After escaping to a safe distance and waiting it out, I climbed over smashed trees in a severe thunderstorm to retrieve my weather probe, which had gathered enough data to double my payday for that chase.<\/p>\n<p>It all bore a sort of tactile presence weather rarely does in games\u2014which is good, since it\u2019s usually set dressing rather than the main event. Clouds and rotating winds seem to physically gather in the distance rather than hide in a skybox texture, and the same applies to lightning, which is so real it might just fry you. It\u2019s all crafted using historic weather data, as well, which helps the pace of everything feel organic and lends a sense of realism. This is aided by the need to watch your fuel gauge and occasionally stock up at a gas station, lest you end up stranded in the middle of a field looking like a lightning rod.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a marvel at the best of times, but the stars have to align a bit for the game to really pop. A slow traipse through an uneventful storm with a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wall_cloud\">wall cloud<\/a> here and there (I know weather words now!) is underwhelming, but it\u2019s going to happen; the downside of using real data is that not every thunderstorm was designed to excite you. That said, interaction with other players went a long way in alerting everyone to the most exciting stuff, and purposeful use of the map\u2019s various radar tools and datasets kept me from wasting too much time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery inline-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0

off from those peak moments. Performance issues and matchmaking trouble are to be expected on launch day for an early access game, but the lack of polish runs deep in Outbrk. Character animations and vehicle controls were stiff, my car had a bad habit of getting stuck in terrain, and my framerate tanked whenever I looked out the window at too big a cloud (even with the settings dialed down, even though I exceed the recommended system requirements). Though cranking the graphics settings up with a tornado near was a pretty incredible sight, I can\u2019t play the game like that in its current state, and the medium preset was as high as I could go and still get a decent frame rate.<\/p>\n<p>Those matchmaking woes\u2014long queues, struggles to find players, games failing to start, etc.\u2014are particularly unfortunate, because while the game does have an offline mode, it doesn\u2019t compare to the emergent social experience of coordinating with other storm chasers, trying to get ahead of the pack and report big disasters first. Outbrk seems to agree, as you get no in-game currency for playing offline.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"WuVH4qsdU2MfHKcSYhdFKd\" name=\"20240629112610_1.jpg\" alt=\"Outbrk storm chasing\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/i-was-almost-gleefully-torn-apart-by-a-tornado-in-this-janky-but-ambitious-co-op-storm-chasing-simulator-8.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Sublime)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To developer Sublime\u2019s credit, it&apos;s on top of hotfixing things as I write this, and matchmaking quality improved even over the launch weekend as I played.
