    Review extends to all consoles, since the big problem isn't the platform. To quote Cohh Carnage's review "Hmm. That was a DLC." Agreed with him that the story was bland and underwhelming and easily predicted. Hopefully next DLC is better, but not sure I'm going to play it.

    $15 for THIS? No. “Wait for Sale” but don’t buy full price. Can’t wait to see how this aditional content screws up the "already super smooth" Switch port, which was already biting off more than it could chew.

    Story's even weaker than the core game, humor has long since worn thin. True of all systems.

    Uninspired filler. Filler, uninspired. Uninspired? Filler. Almost not worth rebooting core game.

    Same problems whether console or PC - storytelling, lack of new enemies, loot problems, and a step backwards in writing quality. Not worth restarting the game, avoid.

    Came out too late, but even so, not quality and not worth the price, if you have to buy it, wait for a bundle on sale so you can at least play the DLC without backtracking through a game you've likely already played.

    The hours spent uncovering a science experiment gone wrong kept me invested, not to mention the sidestories that were also available — if I needed a break from dangerous drug labs I could track down documents from a reporter, assist a search party, break up an argument in a bar and more. Players who enjoyed The Outer Worlds and are itching for a reason to jump back in will find Peril on Gorgon a perfectly good reason to do so — just try to refresh your memory as best you can first.

    Peril on Gorgon is a welcome addition to an already great game, that provides some solid, seven/eight hour-long adventuring for anyone wishing to dive back into some silly space jaunts. A meaty main story filled with gut-wrenching moral choices, fits very snugly into the already developed world. The most fun to be had however, as with the main experience, are the side quests. Getting to know Gorgon's bizarre inhabitants really develops the world, and every personality encourages missions to be completed to their fullest. A great start to hopefully a lot of DLC to come.

    The Outer Worlds was a fun series for 2019 but now feels incredibly dated just one year later. If you’re a fan of Obsidian Role-playing games like Fallout: New Vegas, there’s still a lot to enjoy between the harrowing storylines and corporate parody. Just don’t expect anything groundbreaking, as it’s mostly more of the same.
