    As a big fan of The Outer Worlds, I found Peril on Gorgon to be another fulfilling dive into this fascinating universe, giving me more of what I loved about the original game. It doesn’t break any new ground, aside from the addition of some audio logs and some new weapons. But that’s okay. Great DLC isn’t a sequel, it’s a 10-hour expansion on what made the original game so good. In other words, if you loved The Outer Worlds and want to encounter more tough moral choices, crazy science weapons, and engaging characters, you should check out Peril on Gorgon. I certainly had a blast roleplaying a hard-boiled interstellar detective/starship captain, and it only made me excited for more DLC in the future!

    Peril on Gorgon tells a compelling and unsettling story about work dehumanization mixed with an intriguing family mystery. Despite the lack of new gameplay content, it is a recommended DLC.

Outer Worlds was saved by decent writing, but it can’t elevate it past its unambitious, safe, and dull-after-5 hours approach, was a struggle to finish and this DLC does nothing to improve on the core game. If you're in for the story and writing, you're in for a disappointment.… Full Review »
