    I'd love the game. Extensive story line, dialogue options and ramifications.

    A very good First Person Shooter RPG, with a very unique story and interesting side quests that are really engaging.
    The skill tree wasn't what I was waiting for, but it's simple and very straight to the point.

    The gameplay is one of the best parts of this game, alongside with the main story and side quests, as mentioned early.

    The masters of Western RPG dialogue options never miss. If you prefer quality story and character choices over gameplay, these developers are for you. And if you like this game, play their other masterpiece, Fallout New Vegas.

    It's fine for a FPSRPG. It's not New Vegas 2, it's a New Vegas Clone. Playing the game seems more like a bigger version of Bioshock. The game is pretty easy if you're an RPG expert, survival mode is probably a better challenge. And It gets better when you leave the first environment.

    Gran rpg de elecciones. Me lo he pasado muy bien eligiendo y viendo el destino del personaje. Se nota que el presupuesto del juego no es muy alto pero creo que han hecho un gran trabajo para lo que tienen. Se nota muchisimo la influencia de Fallout pero miro este jugo como un mini Fallout. 30 horas de diversión. Graficamente no es gran cosa, se siente obsoleto.

    Fallout New Vegas'ın uzaylısı. Obsidian'ın karakterin diyalog yeteneklerini de geliştirebildiğimiz rpg oyunlarını seviyorum. New Vegas'ta son boss'u konuşarak geçmiştim, bunda da aynı şeyi yaptım. Karizmatik ve bilim insanı karakterimle koloniyi kurtardım. Sanırım.

Obsidian'ın karakterin diyalog yeteneklerini de geliştirebildiğimiz rpg oyunlarını seviyorum. New Vegas'ta son boss'u konuşarak geçmiştim, bunda da aynı şeyi yaptım. Karizmatik ve bilim insanı karakterimle koloniyi kurtardım. Sanırım.

    Oyunun New Vegas'a benzeyen çok yönü var. Bunlardan birisi de birlikler arasında istediğimizi destekleyebilmemiz, onlara karşı tavırlarımıza tepki olarak dost veya düşman olmaları. Ben karakterimin yetenekleri doğrultusunda barışçıl bir politika izledim ve her şeyi konuşarak çözmeye çalıştım. Büyük ölçüde başarılı da oldum.

    Oyunun yan görevleri ve ana görevleri bence gayet iyi. Hepsinde bir hikaye, alengirli işler, alt hedefler var. Çoğu zaman yan görevler ve ana görevler birbirleriyle paralel ilerliyor. Ayrıca her faction'ın kendi görevleri de var.

    Genelde olay örgüsü şu şekilde ilerliyor: Yeni bir gezegene gidiyorsunuz, çıkarları çatışan iki gurup oluyor, ikisinin de yan görevlerini yapabiliyorsunuz, o gezegendeki ana görevin sonunda iki guruptan birisini vahşice veya barışçıl yolla başa getiriyorsunuz. Kimi zaman da iki grubun işbirliği yapmasını sağlayabiliyorsunuz. Ama tüm bu süreçteki kararlarda iş tamamen sizde. Mesela bir grubun bir görevindeki fonksiyonel görevi yapmadığım için gruptaki ikinci adamı gurubun başına geçiremedim ve bu nedenle diğer gurupla işbirliği yaptırtamadım. Neden sonuç ilişkisi gayet iyi işliyor yani.

    Oyunda Mass Effect'teki gibi yoldaşlarınız var. Bunları savaşlarda verdiğiniz emirlerle etkili bir şekilde kullanabiliyorsunuz. Aynı şekilde bunların da kendi görevleri oluyor. Ama Mass Effect'teki gibi bağlılıkları falan değişmiyor. Yine bu görevler de güzeldi. Bir de bu yoldaşlar kendi karakterlerine uygun şekilde diğer görevlerde veya açık dünyada yorum yapabiliyorlar. Bazen onlara danışabiliyorsunuz. Mesela Parvati tam bir üzümlü kek.

    New Vegas'a benzeyen bir diğer şeyse combat'ın dandikliği. Üstelik bu 2019 oyunu, mazereti yok yani. Vuruş hissi kötü, düşman çeşitliliği çok az. Silah çeşitliliği epey fazla. Acayip ve ender bulunan bilim silahları var. Bir tanesi düşmanı küçültüyordu örneğin. Çok ilginçti.

    Grafikler çok eski görünüyor. Hiç 2019 oyunu gibi değil. DLC'ler ana oyunun seviyesinde değil ama fena da değiller.

    Neticede hikayesiyle, görevlerinin kalitesiyle, yarattığı dünyasıyla oynamaktan çok keyif aldığım bir oyun oldu. Fallout hasreti çekenler için birebir.    … Expand

Отличный юмор, интересные диалоги и решения, которые действительно на что то влияют. И все это завернуто в ретрофутуризм.Так умеют делать только Обсидианы.

    Amazing game, very entertaining. The possibilities are endless, I don't know how they have included so much content in the game with so much variation in dialogues and events. The cartooni graphics is kinda interesting as well and the world is very colorful which I really prefer to a grey world like fallout's. Totally worth spending time in it.

    I completely understand the low and average scores. I really do. I mean... this is a game that feels like ti was developed in a time capsule or something. The people at Obsidian seem to have ignored every game that has come out in the past decade or so and released in 2020 what feels like a game that would have already felt kind of old in 2010.

Yet I can't help but love it, because this is a game that's right up my alley.

    Fallout: New Vegas is probably my favourite RPG of all time. And Mass Effect is probably my favourite trilogy of all time. So a game that combines the two is something I'm going to like no matter what, and if you spice the whole thing with a bit of Firefly flavour? Man... I'm going to LOVE IT. And that's what this is, basically.

    So yeah, I get why some may have felt disapointed by it. Why maybe some people wanted something... I don't know, more modern, more flashy, deeper, more complex or whatever. I totally do. It's understandable. But I can't lie, man, I just liked this a lot.    … Expand

    + original storyline
    + cool weapon designs
    + pretty good facial animations / dialoge
    + loads of choices for problem solving
    - small worlds
    - basic rpg elements
    - loading screens...
    definitely not as good as fallout nv / 3 but at least its original

    I had a great time playing this. Very good game. I will compare it to Fallout 4. F4 has a better graphics, guns and visually better world overall, but TOW has better story, much better dialogues and many choices that affect ending etc.

    It's literally the best Fallout game. I didn't play with New Vegas, but because of that, I will definitely play it in a few days. I really like the fact, that there is choices what have consequences, and there is the humor, which was really funny for me sometimes.

    The Outer Worlds is sadly one of the most disappointing games I have played in recent years based on my expectations and the disconnect between the review score and my own experience.

    The problem with this isn't that it is a bad game (far from it), but the fact that it failed to reach its true potential… or maybe the expectations were simply too high, because there's nothing here that anyone can point to and say that it is terrible. Sadly, there's almost nothing that's great either, apart from the role-playing element and the quality of writing. The gunplay? Ok. The exploration? Decent. The plot? Fine. The dominant feeling here is of a game that is good enough so that you won't hate it, but also not as good for it to be the flawless classic that it could definitely be - but again, that's probably those darn high expectations speaking, because flaws or no flaws, The Outer Worlds shouldn't be missing from any RPG collection.

    An excellent effort from Obsidian, and though The Outer Worlds doesn’t surpass its predecessors by offering a world worth visiting over and over, the adventure it presents is more than worth the time spent.

    Usually, a planet has just one or two settlements and a bit of wildlands to explore. But that’s for the best – instead of exploring miles of filler content, Outer Worlds keeps you moving from planet to planet, from one tense situation to another. [Issue#241, p.34]
