    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.
    One of the main downsides for me was the lack of enemy variation. They are always the same, in the same worlds. I wish it had more variation there. The gameplay is one of the    A very good First Person Shooter RPG, with a very unique story and interesting side quests that are really engaging.

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My rating is based on my impressions of the game. This is not an objective review. I play quite a big number of titles per year and decided to review them as a peace of art and not as a product.… Expand

    Так умеют делать только Обсидианы. Все лучшее, что было в Нью Вегасе, было сохранено и перенесено в Outer Worlds. Отличный юмор, интересные диалоги и решения, которые действительно на что то влияют. И все это завернуто в ретрофутуризм.Так умеют делать только Обсидианы.

    If you love the old first two Fallout games and Fallout:Vegas this game is for you. Brilliant dialog writing which made me often burst out into laughter. Get it, play it!

    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.

    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.

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

    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]
