    The Outer Worlds 2 delivers a rich, expansive RPG with deep characters, meaningful choices, and a finely crafted sci-fi world. Obsidian balances humor, seriousness, and exploration to create one of their most polished and engaging titles yet. [Recommended]

    The Outer Worlds 2 promises flexibility in storytelling, but when that flexibility comes from interacting with one-dimensional characters who inhabit such an unconvincing world, there isn’t much of a point to it.

    The Outer Worlds 2 is defined by its whiplash, alternating between deeply rewarding storytelling and outcomes that feel rushed and stilted. I largely enjoyed the time I spent (mostly) making Arcadia a better place; it’s just disappointing to see such strong potential in the opening hours that doesn't show up again. There's a middle ground between the first game's brevity and the sequel's overly ambitious nature, and I hope Obsidian gets the chance to find it in a third game.

    While you can tinker with gear or unlock lockboxes, there aren’t any activities that can set up camp chats or even instances of companions getting up to interesting stuff you can join in on. Far from a dealbreaker, but something that would have been cool. Then again, they’re probably just avoiding listening to me moan about the locking of extra weapon quick-switch holster and healing primer slots to gear mods. It's a bit of a ballache, especially given the limited slots most gear has in comparison to the number of tweaks you can install. Sure, it forces you to pick and choose rather than equipping everything and achieving instant godhood, hand in hand with the levelling system, but is standing in the way of me adding a melee swatter to my regular rotation of normal gun/energy gun unless I ditch a more interesting ability really contributing much to the roleplaying?
