    A very good First Person Shooter RPG, with a very unique story and interesting side quests that are really engaging.

    Finally got around to playing this game. forgot it even came out. to be straight to the point. its a simple game that borrows fallout mechanics. story nothing to get excited about. no romance, no side missions that will really standout. its just a simple easy going game that you really dont need to pay to much attention to. i hope the second one has more to it.

    Pirated this, played it for two hours and deleted it.

    The worst dialogue I've seen since Mass Effect Andromeda. No idea how it has so many positive reviews.

    I gotta be honest that I was really engaged in the story of the outer worlds. Almost every interaction with NPC it this game was fun to listen, often dialogs are funny or clever and it's just a joy to make a conversations in this game. Main story is really short and that was really shocking at first but honestly side quest are equally good as main story and there is a lot of them.

Although RPG mechanics aren't too complex and fighting mechanics are also not the best in the business and Sadly there wasn't any romances or deeply bonds with the crew or any NPC, overall experience was really enjoyable and definitely the other worlds is worth a shot! If you don't like wasting time just focus on main story and you will complete this game in no time.… Expand

    I absolutely cannot recommend this game. Everything you do has a chance to botch the game for you.

    -- All of this wouldn't be a big problem if this game has a decent autosave mechanism. Sadly, it doesn't. Autosave is next to non-existent. You rely on your own manual saves.

    This is truly a laughable piece of terrible spaghetti coding. I believe somewhere during the process of developing this game, the developer found out their open-world and open-end approach had just gone out of hand, so they invented this concept of "botched missions", so even if the player messed up all the missions, they can still "finish" the game. What a lame cop-out solution.

    If you do want to try this game, read guides [diligently] and [in detail]. The game will be spoiled for you, but at least you don't have to restart the whole game just because you went to the wrong place at the wrong time.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

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

    Fallout: NV was able to acquire a fairly huge fan base and of course after such a breakthrough product of its time, many expected The Outer Worlds as a Bethesda-like RPG killer as a maximum or a brand new and unique Fallout universe competitor as a minimum. But Obsidian did neither.

    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.

This game will obviously be compared to fallout new vegas because the whole pitch of the game was that it was made by the guys that created fallout, so in coming in I expected I will have to make hard choices and carefully choose who i align myself with, for instance in new vegas you knew that both factions had good and bad qualities and you had to live with what you choose, in this game there's no such a thing.

    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

    Very ugly game. The mission structures and sense of freedom are quality and drew me in for a while, but the world and characters are ugly in every sense, in an obviously intentional anti-aesthetic design choice. This game wasn't designed to be gratifying to normal players; that much is clear.

    Summary: Great concept, but that's about it. A retrogame that isn't particularly well executed, has graphics about 15 years out of date, and isn't nearly as good as I thought it would be, but pleasant enough if you like the Fallout in Space idea. Very uneven writing. Very disappointing for Obsidian. It's ok. Barely. But not great, or even good.

Very uneven writing. Very disappointing for Obsidian. It's ok. Barely. But not great, or even good.

    Cons:

    1. Graphics are AWFUL. I have no idea what people are talking about when they say it's a beautiful game. The artwork is nice but this is graphically on par with KOTOR or maybe Fallout 3. It's so bad it's beyond distracting. And I like retrogames like Wasteland 2 but it doesn't work as well in a FPS.

    2. Writing is very uneven. Some things are very funny, others are painful to read through, especially a lot of the "relationship" quests.

    3. Crashes frequently. Hard crashes, that require full restart.

    4. On Hard, I had unlimited money, just didn't feel that challenging overall.

    5. 30 Hours in, still disappointed with all the corporate intrigue. Maybe it gets better but not very exciting so far. Also, missions themselves are usually very simple and boring.

    6. Monsters respawn too quickly making walking through the same areas unnecessarily annoying. There's no reason to respawn them at all.

    7. Companions always run into your line of fire. Awful AI.

    8. Interface is far wonkier than it should be. I'm looking at armor at one character, switch to another, and instead of seeing their armor, it goes back to the default inventory screen, sigh.

    9. Some of the stat options are confusing. They hit you with a lot of info early without going into it. And then you realize that enhanced stats (like from a character boost) do not trigger special stat bonuses (i.e. you actually need a hard number in the stat to get the bonus like seeing what's in a container from lockpicking, before you add in bonuses from armor etc.).

    Pros:

    1. Fallout in space. AWESOME concept. Would have loved for this game to be well made.

    2. Sometimes the writing is very funny.

    3. Surprisingly fluid gun play, with occasionally good voice acting.

    4. Cute companion interplay.

    5. Quick load times.

    It feels like a bad Fallout 4 DLC. After playing this boring-ass game, I have ZERO hope for Obsidian's future.

    - Combat: Clearly not the main focus of the game, i had most of the same weapons all the time, the mods didn't really bring a lot, the stealth gameplay was not that fun, it was OK.
    - Gameplay; A lot of RPG elements are inserted in the game, and most of them maybe not completly explored, but for me, i had a lot of fun trying different stats and builds, deciding who should i back up and who should i **** kill.

    Overall, i recomend getting this game on Sale, and trying it out, it's really fun, even tho not all the aspects are Amazing    … Expand

    The Outer Worlds is a fun game, a good RPG with decent combat and some interesting plot points. Overall, I believe it's nothing less than a good game. On the other hand, it's also nothing more than just good, and where I have seen, especially in the professional critics space, the game often lauded as Obsidian's return to form, I would argue if you want to experience something close toThe Outer Worlds is a fun game, a good RPG with decent combat and some interesting plot points. Overall, I believe it's nothing less than a good game. On the other hand, it's also nothing more than just good, and where I have seen, especially in the professional critics space, the game often lauded as Obsidian's return to form, I would argue if you want to experience something close to KOTOR 2, or even the high moments of Neverwinter Nights 2 and Fallout: New Vegas, you will have to reach out for Tyranny or the Pillars of Eternity games instead.

    Another thing I have seen pop up several times is "Fallout: NV, but in space" - and you could not be further from truth. Perhaps the only things that tie the two games (aside from the studio itself) are the use of a simplistic and overtuned weapon durability system and a silent MC. TOW is not Obsidian's attempt to do a complete version of FO:NV in space, but rather, an attempt to make their own Mass Effect, more specifically a trilogy / series setup of Mass Effect 1, where you build a team of specialists and run around trying to save the galaxy (with two teammates at a time), or with the humbler TOW - one solar system.

    To be fair, it's pretty challenging to be completely original, if not impossible at this point, and the game does a lot to fix the issues of ME1. However, it also brings a couple new issues of its own, a lot of it due to Obsidian's attempt to make the game, especially in terms of the characters "quirky and original", and as a result, turning quite a few of them into some twitteresque morons. At the same time, the game often repeats some pretty stale tropes - and does it multiple times, sometimes within the span of couple minutes. For example, in the opening scene, which probably everyone already saw, as it is a part of the promotional materials for the game, the pre-teen cartoon trope of mad scientists gadgets not working so he has to push a button multiple times for it to miraculously work is used twice, in a span of some 4-5 minutes! I've lambasted Crackdown 3 for this recently, and I will say it again here: If you say or do something retarded, stating "Actually I was only pretending to be retarded!" afterwards doesn't fix or excuse your prior behavior, but makes you look even more retarded. "We were only doing a satire of stereotypes!" - Yeah, but you still flooded your game with characters based off of them, and in addition, you further made it worse by making them more fitting for a Tom & Jerry episode than an M rated game.

    That being said, there are some genuinely interesting things about most of the characters, and there are moments where they have really well written and believable dialogue, but this makes things even worse, because it really clashes with their dumbass behavior outside of these moments. Honestly, it reminds me of Guardians of the Galaxy, except the writers weren't really able to balance out and connect the wacky and serious moments, and so the game feels disjointed and goes from bat crap insane to noir thriller to realistic interpersonal relations drama and then back again all in the span of a few moments.

    This is probably the largest complaint overall, actually. The game is disjointed, because it tries to be multiple things. It's trying to be ME1, a wacky parody of ME1, and an original Obsidian game, and is neither as a result. In some cases, you make a really big decision, and in one affected place you see a huge change, and in another, which should have a similar large effect applied to it, you get a one-liner mention of the whole thing and then nothing else. Some individual rare weapons are really interesting and original, but the weapon roster in general is just heaps of the same crap with the occassional "+3 fire damage". There's a bunch of factions that supposedly focus on different things, but they all use the same armor and weapons, just different colors, and so on.

    The game does fix some issues of ME1 though - specifically, the "worlds" you visit are more condensed, there's much less running around tons of large and near completely barren maps, the pacing, especially in case of side content, is much much better as a result. The simplistic karma system is replaced with a much better one with individual relations with each faction, and your individual decisions themselves play a larger role, the dialogues are much better and most often not constrained to paragon/renegade/neutral/ask-question, and feel more natural, and so on.

    The game also has a very distinct graphical style, a retro-futuristic mix between wild west and art deco and a few other elements, all locations and planets are pretty distinct and well crafter from design perspective.

    Anyways, in the end, the game is saved by a few great moments and a handful of well thought out and implemented mechanics and design choices that stand well above the rest of the game, and I mean a lot above the rest of the game. Without them, solid 3/10.    … Expand

    Ability system and talent three is ok no more.

    A BLANDER copy of Fallout ( or re iteration) anyhow its similar and as boring as F76

    FPS play is very annoying, and weapons have little description of them.

    There isn't a LOT of enemy variety but the ones you face are quite well designed, they're different enough and have their own strengths and weaknesses.

    That being said, the game lacked any challenging content on any of the builds I have tried on the hard difficulty (full melee, sneak, guns blazing), the enemy A.I. is easy to overcome and the combat stats that you are able to get even early on end up overpowering them quite easily.

    Supernova difficulty makes you pay more attention in managing your consumables and taking certain fights more carefully because you can't save but in the end the unique mechanics of the difficulty make the game more annoying rather than challenging.

    Your companions have their own quest which is usually pretty good in terms of offering them character development but I wish they got more than just that.

    The main story is quite short but it does offer different endings due to its branching narratives, although to be perfectly honest I've only found a handful of decisions to be somewhat hard to make due to their morally grey characteristics. Unless you're roleplaying an overtly evil character without any moral consideration then it's pretty obvious what you would choose to do most of the time. It's worth mentioning that there are a few side quests and areas that contain some endearing or humorous stories, especially if you bother reading messages on terminals as well for more context. I do wish they had more of those and cut back on some of the standard fetch/kill quests.

    The dialogue is witty and creative most of the time. and the voice acting is quite good.

    The sounds, music and graphics don't stand out in terms of overall quality but the world they've crafted is brimming with color and style. The character models and face animations could benefit from more polish.

    There are some unique science weapons that can make the combat a lot more fun so I'd definitely recommend trying to find them.

    Overall, it's an enjoyable game especially if you like the setting and premise.    … Expand

Everything from the NPCs, enemies, world, quests, story, combat and even the items are very limited.
    The writing is nothing great and the game feels flat like it doesn't have any depth to it. You don't feel like you care about any of the NPCs. And most females seem to all look the same with short hair. There's not enough diversity.

Kontrast między biednymi robotnikami z Nadbrzeża a bogatymi elitami z Bizancjum, Wpisy w terminalach pokazujące w jak słabej sytuacji finansowej jest cała kolonia, czy świetnie napisane dialogi. To wszystko łączy się w naprawdę spójny i przede wszystkim interesujący i nietypowy świat przedstawiony. Ogólne nastroje panujące wśród ludzi przypominają te spotykane w falloucie, oczywiście z lekkim korporacyjnym twistem, to w połączeniu z retrofuturyzmem, daje naprawdę nietypową mieszankę.
    OPRAWA AUDIOWIZUALNA
    Sama gra nie posiada wybitnej grafiki, celuje w realizmy ale gry AAA odjeżdżają jej na kilka długości. Nie powiedziałbym że The Outer Worlds jest brzydkie, ponieważ całość jest bardzo spójna, idealnie komplementuje charakter odwiedzanych przez nas miejsc. Muzyka jest tutaj raczej tylko wypełniaczem, na świeżo po ograniu gry pamiętam jeden soundtrack, który budzi we mnie miłe wspomnienia, ale tylko dlatego że kojarzę go z grą, a nie dlatego, że sam w sobie jest jakiś ponadprzeciętny. Na uwagę zasługują hologramowe plakaty, neonowe reklamy występujące w świecie gry, lub te które możemy zaobserwować na ekranach ładowania. Są bardzo wiarygodne, prześmiewcze, satyryczne i posiadają retro vibe.
    FABUŁA
    Historia walki człowieka z olbrzymimi korporacjami, czy zdecydujemy walczyć z nimi, przyłączyć się do nich, czy tylko udawać, że jesteśmy po ich stronie, tylko po to, żeby na końcu wsadzić im nóż w plecy. Wszystko zależy od nas i podejmowanych przez nas decyzji. Grę można spokojnie przejść kilka razy, za każdym razem z innym skutkiem. Większość questów możemy wykonać na różne sposoby, w zależności od tego jakie umiejętności mam rozwinięte. Sama fabuła jest dość wciągająca, nie jest też zbyt oczywista, więc gracz oczekuje na to jak rozwinie się przygoda. Powoduje to czasami opuszczenie kilku pobocznych questów a niektóre z nich prezentują naprawdę przyzwoity poziom i poza wprowadzaniem nas w klimat czy nastroje społeczne w danym miejscu, często też dostarczają nam naprawdę ciekawą historię.
    MODEL STRZELANIA
    Jak na grę rpg model strzelania jest naprawdę przyzwoity, oczywiście większość dmg zależy od naszych statystyk, ale wprawny strzelec powinien nadrobić braki punkcików swoim skillem. Szczególnie przyjemne jest strzelanie w słabe punkty przeciwników, nakładające konkretne efekty.
    WSZYSTKIEGO ZA MAŁO
    Jak na razie wszystko brzmi bardzo dobrze, jednak The Outer Worlds ma jeden problem. Brakuje tutaj trochę kontentu. Misje są świetne, ale główny wątek jest wyjątkowo krótki. Podobnie jest z uzbrojeniem. Widząc wszystkie bronie na pierwszych lvlach nie możemy się doczekać żeby znaleźć broń idealnie pasującą do nas, tylko po to, żeby po 10 godzinach gry zorientować się, że większość typów broni już odkryliśmy. Tak samo jest też z przeciwnikami, którzy praktycznie wszędzie mają podobne modele, czasami tylko różniące się kolorem zbroi, mimo że często dane lokacje są od siebie oddalone o lata świetlne w grze.    … Expand

    Graphically, it's outdated and moving around feels unfinished, the first person view reminds me of quake 2, constant wide angle that seems juvenile programming.
    I cannot says for the storymode because 37 minutes in, i just got a refund from steam.
    Cyberpunk got me 2 minutes in and has not let me down for the 100 hours spent in there.

    So if you want a beautiful game, go elsewhere, even at ultra high graphics, it's still does not cut it for me.
    If your just in for the story i guess you'll have fun but i will not pay good money for that.    … Expand

    Tried it briefly, had all the signs of a bad game. In the first few minutes I was bombarded with pop up menus. It's felt like the game was going to be pretty cumbersome. Immediately it was clear that nothing at all about this game stands out. I don't think it's a total fail, but it clearly didn't get the basics pinned down well enough to be good.

    In this game is missing some mechanics that u can find in all rpg games,eat drink sleep needs to be in all difficulty's, npc are very static and no active, I don't like the fact that u can't play in third person That's very sad.

    TOW is a strange animal. It's well-acted, but full of situations where real human beings wouldn't react the way the characters do. While keeping reality at a distance is an acceptable literary form, TOW doesn't know how seriously to take itself. I can't tell if it's a satire of its subject matter or of the type of person who would be entertained by it. It hits you over the head with it's anti-corporate theme until you suffer a concussion, or otherwise start wondering if the employees at Oblivion are trying to tell us something about their working conditions. The target audience of this game is in the early teens, has a pigeon's attention span and is going through a really embarrassing communist phase. Another reviewer likened it to Bioshock: Inifinite, and that's a very apt comparison. It's full of useless power ups, bells and whistles designed to stimulate the reward centre of the brain, campy vending machines at regular intervals, fights that mostly feel the same, and moody and aloof characters who don't suit their dire scenery. The artistry in the game is a visual stomachache that repeats itself ad nauseam because the enemies respawn and the quest markers make you go back and forth across Monarch around thirty times. To give the game credit, it does actually give you some level of choice. I finished it twice, and the second time I sided with the Board all the way to the end. At least a pro-board playthrough is possible, even if there are no grand revelations to be had by doing so. That playthrough was also done on the hardest mode, where your stiff and dull companions can die permanently. The hardest part was keeping them alive to the end. I'm not sure if I'll keep my fondness of Obsidian alive though. I'll think twice before I buy another Obsidian game.    … Expand

No, really, I've upgraded my PC recently and now I have no texture lags or anything like that, and STILL there're plenty of hardcoded filters and distance loading limitations that make the game look blurry as hell. Even with mods it's still barely bearable.
    And why tf are there no beautiful women and no smart men? Well, that's a thing a lot of people have already spoke about, but I must say that the "agenda" didn't really bother me, I didn't even noticed any feminist propaganda or something, and yet NPCs around me looked too disbalanced in that matter. It just didn't feel natural.
    Mobs and their "aggro areas" are a joke.
    People around you look alive, until you do something serious, and they react just a bit, just like in Bethesda games, which feels like another copypaste of other game's stupidity.
    And you cannot remove helmet from your party member. Like, COME ON, WTF.

    Overall: Obsidian tried to make something on their own, something theirs. But they have, as we say, farted in a puddle. Gameplay is a copypaste, artstyle is a copypaste, and the scenario is just stupid. The game was not created to introduce you a new gameplay, or to tell you a good story.

    This is a bit too cartoony and NPCs and the world are really kind of lifeless. But it still has a entertaining story, good mechanics and humor.

The main story    I was keen to play this game given the hype, however hype always should come with a warning and this is true for Outer Worlds. It's an overly ambitious indie darling and this should be remembered when playing it.

    The graphics of this game are very curious, in that it wasn't until I explored some side missions that I found more diverse and enjoyable backdrops to explore. The main story seemed rather drab and one-dimensional in terms of colour palettes. I found the enemies a bit lacking regardless of what juncture I took, as they ranged from tiny dinosaurs to mechanical terminators that I couldn't distinguish between. A significant issue I had was that I struggled to identify enemies during gunfights and even when exploring. The compass is far too vague and the clash of colours meant that enemies blended into backgrounds quite easily. This could be a problem unique to me, though.

    The story of OW is very hit and miss. I like zany and eccentric characters, however OW seemed to be trying too hard to one-up Borderlands for the humour and quirkiness of characters. This leads to an impression of OW being a cheap carbon-copy of AAA games. I also discovered the hard way that ignoring side quests makes the game incredibly short. This may seem like a moot point, but OW's main quests lack anything that interests me. It goes for some sort of dystopian anti-establishment theme but again this is hit and miss.

    A key feature of OW's is branching storylines and choices, however I found this was undermined substantially when I discovered that there were basically long and short methods to complete missions. The long method often involved fetch quests so this motivated me to use quicker methods such as killing characters, making some choices moot and unrewarding.

    The gameplay of OW had me perplexed right until the end. The menus were messy and I had a lot of information thrown at me very early in the game instead of being introduced gradually. I also found that increasing the difficulty caused me to die very quickly and enemies became bullet sponges. What further confounded this was that I found melee attacks much more effective for about 60% of the game until I got what appeared to be better guns towards the end of the game.

    However there were two intertwined elements that really marred OW for me. These are the loading screens and the vacuous sandboxes. The game is supposed to encourage exploration, however I didn't find much enjoyable to explore and environments were filled with endless junk to collect which felt like literal filler. What this led to was me using fast travel a lot, and that's where loading screens came in. I don't understand why loading times are so long for this on my PS4 Pro. It wouldn't have been half as bad an experience otherwise.

    Overall, they just tried too hard with this game. By trying to give AAA publishers a middle finger, Outer Worlds lacks its own identity and brings with it the good but also the worst aspects of Ubisoft and Bethesda AAA garbage games. Having said that, AAA publishers have a lot to answer for, as their over-saturated releases are what have burned me out to the point I find genuine efforts such as Outer Worlds aren't as enjoyable for me. It's good to see that OW got the attention it deserves, however I also think it got far too many overly generous reviews. My review may be harsh, but 10/10 and 5-star reviews are ridiculously biased and blind also. Having said that, I would welcome the publisher's next game or sequel with open arms.    … Expand

    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.

    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]
