Oct 26, 2025The Outer Worlds 2 Review – With sharp humor, rich world-building, and deep RPG systems, does it finally capture the spirit of New Vegas?
-
Oct 23, 2025The Outer Worlds 2 is a deceptively smart Looter-shooter RPG with colourful worlds and entertaining characters, and some really satisfying, malleable combat.
-
Oct 23, 2025The Outer Worlds 2 represents both a confirmation and a significant evolution from the previous installment in the series from Obsidian Entertainment, a team that has proven adept at crafting compelling role-playing experiences. The sequel to the original title not only expands the saga's already rich and distinctive universe, but does so with impressive attention to detail and player choice. Sure, the technical side isn't cutting edge, and there's still plenty of room for improvement in some aspects, like combat. However, The Outer Worlds 2 is one of the most complete and engaging RPGs of recent years, which is why it will captivate anyone who loves the genre and its captivating sci-fi setting.
-
Oct 23, 2025The Outer Worlds 2 refines everything that made the original special while daring to expand its universe. The writing remains sharp, full of wit, and deeply reactive to player choices, proving once again that Obsidian understands how to build worlds that feel alive. The addition of third-person view, improved gunplay, and a stronger RPG backbone make this sequel richer and more versatile. However, weak companion AI and performance drops on PC hold it back from true greatness. Even with those flaws, The Outer Worlds 2 stands as one of Obsidian’s finest works, blending humor, freedom, and consequence in ways few studios can.

Nov 21, 2025The first Outer Worlds was a decent, if a bit soulless experience. Known for it's strong sequels, Obsidian once again succeeds in making the second one a better product.
-
Oct 28, 2025Obsidian Entertainment—famous for Avowed, Pentiment, and the widely acclaimed Fallout: New Vegas—does it again, delivering an RPG as formidable as it is replayable. An instant classic for genre fans that will satisfy even the most demanding players. A chapter no choose-your-own-adventure enthusiast should miss under any circumstances.

Nov 25, 2025The first The Outer Worlds left us with mixed feelings a few years ago: it had an interesting premise and fun combat, but all in all, it didn't lead to a very memorable experience. The Outer Worlds 2 is clearly a step forward: the combat has been greatly improved and there is more to experience. So what do you get up to? Well, you create a character and walk around with them on different planets. You solve one problem after another by talking and/or shooting. That doesn't sound very original, and it isn't. All in all, we find The Outer Worlds 2 an improvement on its predecessor and, at times, an enjoyable game, but it's certainly not a must-have.
