X-Out: Resurfaced Review

Review

Feb 18, 2025

X-Out: Resurfaced is the revival and a ground-up remake of the 1990 Amiga game X-Out, a horizontal shoot’em up that was set in an unconventional location, the ocean. X-Out: Resurfaced has new artwork and new music, but they’re all done in a way to mimic the original, but at a higher resolution and fidelity, respectively. This is a tough-as-nails shooter that has no modern accommodations, so be prepared to replay stages until they’re memorized, and take notes on the patterns of bosses. X-Out: Resurfaced stands as a remake for modern systems with retro sensibilities that you should pay attention to.
