The Board behaves very much like a sci-fi Beijing, and were people actually encouraged to innovate vs. kowtowing before mediocre unelected bureaucrats, the capitalistic utopia would look far different. Graphics are nearly AAA levels, though the art style is superb/timeless, and Obsidian has proven that in an era of titans like Bethesda lying in ruins, they can bring back the glory days of Fallout New Vegas with style and confidence.

    The characters and dialogue are so good! Side quests don’t really feel like a chore and the pacing feels excellent! Everything is really smooth, and the color schemes are amazing. I’m thoroughly enjoying this awesome RPG

    I could wish for loose items physics or better facial animations. I really could.

The armors are just awesome enough that you care how you look without making you wish for a third person game. The writing, world, esthetic, and rollplaying opportunities are where the game actually shines, which is a lot of shinning points for one game. I guess the narrative could go for more emotional heavy punches, but the light-hearted yet intelligent narrative is excellent, so I'm not complaining. It makes room for more intellectual food for thought.… Expand

    I am probably not the only one who gave this game a high score because of their love of Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas, so be aware that I'm probably more than a little biased as I write this review.

    First, the bad:
    Graphics obviously aren't the greatest and although I like the character and creature designs, at least more than the potatoe-faced models you saw in New Vegas, most of the outside environments feel a little "meh". Like visiting a No Man's Sky World. But, like New Vegas, the graphics aren't why I fell in love with this game.

    Enemy designs:
    Although I admit that I find the monster designs interesting, there's a lot of palette swapping going on.

    Combat:
    A bit mixed on this, bullet time/Tactical Time Dilation, Science Weapons and Companion Abilities do bring some fun options to the table. But in most cases if you've encountered one Marauder, you've encountered them all. Fortunately, in most story-based missions and sidequests there are ways to circumvent combat if you don't want to fight.

    Loot:
    Aside from Science Weapons and a few armour pieces, you won't find a lot of unique looking pieces of loot.

    The Good:
    It's got great RPG elements, you can play however you want. Be it combat-heavy, stealthy, using your silver tongue or by using your brains! (There are even special weapons that get better depending on your Science skill.)

    Your choices feel like they actually matter, and in some cases...there doesn't seem to be a right choice. Even a compromise between factions might not make both parties completely happy. At the end of the game, you'll get a narrated slide to see how it all packed out.

    Companions: Your companions are all fun and interesting. I feel like some could have used some more depth, but overall taking them around and hearing their banter brought a smile on my face. Plus, they all had some pretty good companion quests too.

    The Setting:
    Capitalism gone mad, in space! Overall, everything going on is fairly dark. Yet, it's so over the top and brought in such a way that it goes straight to being funny. I do wish the corporations would have some way of standinng out aside from just different coloured armour, but it's not that big of a deal.

    Verdict:
    Although I went into this game expecting the graphics and whatnot, it would be nice if it was improved upon should Obsidian make a sequel or expansion to this game, but it's not a dealbreaker. At least not for me:

    A damn good RPG. Bethesda is obsolete with this game's launch, as they are incapable of doing RPGs as good as Obsidian.

    Great gameplay, amazing locations, absolutely *stellar* writing, this game had me hooked from the very beginning and didn't let go until the very end. Only real gripes I have about it is that it's kind of short and the individual level areas are kind of small.    A damn good RPG.

    Only real gripes I have about it is that it's kind of short and the individual level areas are kind of small.

    Even with a fair amount of sidequesting and hitting the level cap with the final mission, I clocked in maybe 20 hours, which in terms of most RPGs I've played is a little on the short side. But being a bit short can be just fine when the package we have is so well done, I feel like if it ran on for too long it'd eventually run out of ideas. Even so, I would've really liked to spend more time in The Outer Worlds.

    Additionally there are only like 5 areas in the game and all but one of them is pretty small, and not dense enough to justify it. I would've liked bigger open world areas or just a single massive map which would've helped the feeling of exploration. As it is, the game offers tons of roleplaying opportunities, but the story itself is somewhat linear.

    Looking forward to inevitable DLC, hopefully of the Broken Steel variety so I can level up more and get cooler guns.    … Expand

    The Outer Worlds may be very Fallout-esque in nature, but it utilises the formula incredibly well as it only takes the best parts and implements them to near perfection.

    A noticeable aspect that I thoroughly enjoyed were the companions you can recruit to your ship as the game goes on. They're all very well written and likeable characters that you want to give equal attention to as you play. If I have to criticise, my main niggle would be that the game seemed very easy - as I rarely had a challenge after four of five hours into the game.

One cannot help drawing comparisons to the Fallout series and I feel it is not unfair to do so coming from the developers of FO:NV. Where Bethesda failed horribly, Obsidian has shone. Character development is present in spades; whereas FO:76 only focuses on the bland increase of your players stats TOW presents you with a plethora of memorable characters who grow throughout the story.

    Speaking of story, this is the second area that the game shines. Characters are not black and white good and evil, they're all shades of grey. Decisions you make, which in weaker games are no-brainers will have you questioning the morals of your choices and deliberating over their potential impact. This is how it should be.

    There are one or two bugbears I would like to address; While I appreciate the graphical style and applaud the consistency of it, it does lead to some enemies being a pain in the arse to spot during combat (who knew wildlife could be effectively camoflaged?). While I did not encounter any crashes during my playthrough there were a couple of bugs. These mostly revolved around the inventory with items not appearing for companions until I exited and re-entered the menu, or equipped the item on my character. There were also a few clipping issues with the environment which made shots hit them instead of my target. Given these were the worst offenses, all I can say is watch and learn Bethesda.

    So, what do I do now? My first playthrough was my usual balanced affair, trying to do right by as many as I could. Now it's time to start again, unleash Psycho Pete and murder everyone. I wonder what will be different?    … Expand

    Long story, short. If Fallout: New Vegas was your cup of tea well, this is that, but in space. Like Mass Effect you recruit a whole crew to tag along with you on your space ship and you can have up to two companions with you on missions.

There is no romance however you can help some characters hookup with one another (not with you obviously, you're kinda stuck in the friendzone lol). Story was okay not great, not bad, but there is some replayablity over which faction you side with. Last aspect I wanna talk about is that the game runs very well and its optimzied to run smoothly on older systems.… Expand

    The Outer Worlds is a game built specifically for me. Therefore, it is a perfect game. There are no flaws and I will be playing it until I physically cannot play video games anymore. Please buy several copies so we can tell the video game industry that they should make more. Please do not buy Skyrim or Fallout anymore, they are cancelled.

    Outer worlds is an Action/RPG that takes place in the future, made by Obsidian Entertainment the same makers of Fallout:New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity, and Pillars of Eternity 2.

Ever since the previous disappointing release of Fallout 76 the demand for Obsidian Entertainment to make another Fallout game has increased, but without the rights to the Fallout series they would never be allowed to do it without Bethesda’s permission and so Outer Worlds was born.

    Outer worlds can not be called a copy of any of the Fallout games since it's so distinct from what the Fallout games used to be and what they are now. One of the many good things this game has in it is the RPG elements that it borrows from Fallout: New Vegas. A lot of games call themselves RPGs but lack the core elements that make an RPG you know...AN RPG. Outer Worlds may not revolutionize what an RPG is but it certainly does it right. Another fun thing is how you can play Outer Worlds also. There are usually more than one way to complete a mission with there always being a go in and shoot everything route or you can sneak in Lie, Persuade, Intimidate, or use your vast knowledge in Medicine, Engineering, or Science to convince your way past many enemies or to get more rewards from quests you completed. Finally, the biggest element that I loved about Outer Worlds is how it brings you into its world and invests you into it and its characters. All of the companions your bring along with you along the adventure you take in Outer Worlds all have their separate character quests that decide the type of ending you are going to get. Not only that but the numerous quests filled throughout the game also has an effect on the ending, depending if you resolved an issue with your guns or charm can have a major role in the ending you get with the final cutscene in the ending paying homage to Fallout:New Vegas.(Also in game they call you the mysterious stranger in reference to the mysterious stranger seen or mentioned in Fallout Games and I loved it)

    Ok so now that we have some of the positives we have to go through some of the negatives, sorry Outer Worlds you’re not perfect as much as I hate to admit it. One of the blaring issues that you get to in the mid to late game is the lack of variety of weapons and armor. I think that the weapons and armor it does have in game are really fun to look at, and appealing to shoot/wear for guns and armor but I feel if there was just a bit more variety then I would have nothing to complain about. Another issue is how short the game actually is and feels in the last couple of missions almost rushing you through the story when it feels like there should be more. More than likely they will be adding DLC later down the road since there are a few couple of planets locked from you exploring so hopefully that resolves the issue but right now I can’t help but feel a longing for more content. The final issue I will be bringing up are the worlds you explore, they are very small. For having an entire planet to explore the world you are able to explore just feel way too small. This might have been done to save FPS or maybe they just preferred it but I think if they are going to give you multiple whole entire planets to explore then I want to explore more than just one region with only a couple cities smacked in em. Honestly if you just mashed all of the regions you can explore into one big planet and region it would have been better to show all the different climates that way instead of one planet being strictly just Jungle, or Tundra, or Desert just to give examples.

    In conclusion Outer Worlds is a very good game and a game that gamers have been wanting from Obsidian for a very long time and so to be honest I am very happy just to be able to enjoy it. It is not a perfect game but I can confidently say that the price of the game is well worth the content that you will enjoy.    … Expand

There are some low-key hilarious dialogue options and moments in this game. I also want to add in that it also seems like your actions don't have a lot of consequences in this game, the majority of people will have the same "ending", with a few slides changing here and there.

It shows in the graphics and general polish of the game. It's not at AAA levels. Otherwise, the game is as good of an RPG that you can play this year.

    Player choice is key and the game revolves around this. It reminds me of other games like Prey and Deus Ex where you have smaller and more contained open worlds but a lot more decisions to actually make within these "smaller" worlds. Player customization is pretty good and you can pretty much figure out a solution to any problem based on your character build. It's not all about just shooting. However, the shooting ain't bad either with quite a few weapon types available. Plus melee is an option too. Also, the game gives real consequences to your actions, more in line with old school RPGs from the 90s, like Fallout 1 and 2.They hit it out of the park in the game play department.

    Still, I really can't stand these graphics. Whoever chose the color palette didn't really do a good job. Objects all kind of blend in. It's seriously hard to make out where things are sometimes. On top of that there random neon lights and colors here and there that are just out of place. You'll have a sea of drab and then one bright neon object drowning everything out. Nighttime sucks, I can't see a damn thing! Player models are also like from last generation. What saves it all though is the dialogue and voice acting, which is all pretty good.

    Got give the developers a pass for that though, because they are a small team with a small budget, and they managed to outperform most AAA developers this year. It's a great accomplishment and big lesson to these AAA developers who keep churning out absolute garbage year after year. I would say if you were disappointed by the last Mass Effect, this game can fill your space adventure void. I did not regret picking it up despite it's few flaws. Game-play trumps everything else.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has choice but doesn't make use of it. Example early game it is difficult to stealth kill enemies there is no way to distract or move them to different areas very bare bones stealth but the disguise mechanic is great for restricted areas which is a little annoying you can't activate/use it outside of restricted areas. Mostly its better to dump into social skills persuade intimidate with very high temperment and mind and body drinks to get around final boss on super nova. locking picking 100 does seem to work here. In my second play through i found there was an abundance of xp if you play both sides both with and against board however story is superior siding with wells the scientist.

    Companions are interesting but there is not enough depth /character missions. Would have liked crew missions e.g pavartai+ellie or missions that would solve some conflict in the crew or maybe a betrayal /munity mission to add even more depth.

    When playing purely to be good against the board Level 30 seemed difficult to grind to and you are eventually forced to continue main missions there is not enough side quests to get to 30 without grinding , continuing main missions or abusing persuade and stealing mechanics or as i found out in
    second play though playing both evil and good side missions. There is no indication what you actually hitting in time stopping mode and spending a long time sneak attacking with a science hammer that doesn't crit annoys deeply the crosshead changing doesn't always hit when in melee. Character respecing is nice but its unfortunate you can't attribute respect also you can't reach maxinum stats in anything at start of game when customising character limiting choices a little to balance the game however with food/drugs or long long tasks such as the chimera costume you can
    raise these. Supernova mode is my revision is fine and adds value to game just be sure to stock as much water as possible and respect in 2 twice in final missions 1 to stealth and persudae to pass hope the other tartus (intermidate/persuade 90 with sociologuy perk with very high in perception/intelligence and temperment is needed when siding against wells as is faster for supernova) The lack of no humanoid alien race was a huge disappoint when i learned the moon man was a human forced to wear mask. The factions don't really differ that much really e.g there rules / culture is not something that needs to be learned. E.g no differing way of speaking to each faction. The story is interesting. The combat is mostly fine unless your being cheesed to death by shock weapon or surrounded by tons of adds to last real fight in game reason why i liked social options in supernova way more. The disguise is absolutely great but its a shame you can't try to use armor the same as enemies in order to get though areas too. The outer worlds character creator is a little bizzare as you can't make many normal looking people hmm. The leveling up system is interesting considering 10 point can level up 3 skills its just wouldn't it have more diverse to give 30 points per level and cap the increases at 50 by limiting the number of points to 10 in per level up in any skill over 50. Thankfully there are no hack mini games and no lockping mini games. Engineering /Science seem a litter underpowered to me as most of the time you just respect your stats do what you nee to with them as spec out. The flaw system is interesting but would have been more interesting if some flaws had benefits on top of the perk given or there was a choice between getting perk or getting attribute points.

    The game is very much worth playing. It has good length and tests your ingerunty on hard difficulties.    … Expand

Me lo compré en formato físico en una ocasión que lo vi de oferta y ha permanecido en mi estantería, suficiente tiempo, enfriándose, hasta que por fin me he decidido a jugarlo.

    ‘The Outer Worlds’ es un RPG de acción en primera persona. Que toma como un punto de partida inequívoco a ‘Fallout’. Se podría decir que es un ‘Fallout’ bastardo. Como lo fue ‘Fallout New Vegas’, también de Obsidian, pero, en este caso, fuera del paraguas de Bethesda. Y lo que tenemos no es ni más ni menos que un verdadero calco de lo que es un ‘Fallout’. Conversaciones con los NPC’s, acción en shooter en primera persona, misiones de recadero, exploración, matar bichos enormes…. Pero esta vez, en vez de ser en un yermo pos-apocalíptico, en la tierra, nos encontramos en un sistema solar lejano, donde el ser humano trata de sobrevivir en el duro proceso de adaptación y colonización de los nuevos planetas. Bienvenidos a Alción.

    Al igual que pasaba en ‘Fallout New Vegas’ tenemos un sistema de toma de decisiones que nos acercarán o alejarán de las facciones existentes, en este caso encarnadas por las diferentes corporaciones humanas que trabajan en Alción y que intentan hacerse con su pedazo del pastel de la colonización. No se nos permitirá actuar de forma neutral, es decir, en algún momento tendremos que tomar partido por unos u otros, por lo que se puede jugar el juego a tu libre albedrío, esto es tomando tus propias decisiones y que les den a quien no les parezca bien, por lo que perderás una parte del juego, o bien jugar con una guía en el momento de tomar partido para ‘no perderte nada’, aunque esto último es complicado, porque el juego te obliga a tomar partido.

    En cuanto al combate tenemos un calco de ‘Fallout New Vegas’ FPS con diferentes tipos de armas, cada una con sus estadísticas y hasta dos acompañantes cada uno con sus propias habilidades. Además en vez del sistema VATS, famoso en los ‘Fallout’, aquí se implementa una solución parecida, aunque menos efectiva; el sistema DDS, que ralentiza el tiempo y te deja buscar los puntos críticos del oponente, aunque ya digo que no funciona ni la mitad de bien que en ‘Fallout’.

    En definitiva se trata de un juego entretenido. No es ninguna maravilla gráfica para la generación actual, tampoco para la anterior, pero se deja jugar si tienes mono de ‘Fallout’. Tal vez su mayor tara sea precisamente esa, su gran parecido con ‘Fallout’, no te lo vas a quitar de la cabeza mientras lo estés jugando, la comparación es odiosa, pero en este caso es inevitable. Aún así aprueba con creces y es un juego recomendable si te mola lo que tienes entre manos. Como juego RPG funciona bien, y como shooter de mundo abierto también. La mecánica de ‘Fallout’ sigue funcionando a pleno rendimiento y aunque sea de marca blanca, siempre es un placer volver a juegos así.    … Expand

    One of the best games in 2019. Good scenario, good battle experience, and no bugs.

    Damn! What a game. I'm not the biggest Fallout fan of all time but this game is the best Fallout game ever. My Final Score: 95/100

    Good game for fallout fans Gameplay and exploring the world is addictive
    Story and characters are good but not perfect
    Graphics are beautiful
    But it's not a unique game

    While The Outer Worlds isn't as great or interesting as the game it's succeeding, Fallout: New Vegas, it's still is an enjoyable experience and a generally well made game. If your'e a fan of RPG's this isn't a game to ignore.

    The best fallout game I've ever played . This is a deep rpg , and one of the best I've played in recent memories. The characters are memorable. Its downright hilarious in some sections. There is meaningful consequences to your decisions, and addicting game play. Bethesda should be scared.

    At first glance I was disappointed with average graphics and ugly posters. Atmosphere was awkward, but well, I bought the game so decided to give it a try. And one hour was enough to get totally absorbed. I have finished it in three days, couldn't stop. It has that addictive "one more quest" syndrome. Plot is nice, characters as well, quests interesting, fight satisfying. The worst thingAt first glance I was disappointed with average graphics and ugly posters.

    Great game overall, I highly recommend to any fan of Fallout or fans of quirky Sci-Fi like Firefly. It’s got great characters, an engaging story and fun gameplay and its long enough without feeling too long. While the mechanics of Outer Worlds are quite similar to Fallout and sometimes it will feel like a Fallout game it’s different enough to stand on it’s own.

    This game is amazing. I’m constantly finding myself scrounging through every settlement twice for more hidden content, searching for new weapon and armor mods, and it even makes companion quest line interesting.

    I loved it. It didn't feel as much like fallout to me as I heard it was supposed to. It felt more like a modern take at Knight of the old republic however I don't think it was as good as kotor. The story was very interesting and kept me entertained

    A high quality RPG, completely worth the asking price. The best AA game I’ve played in years. Puts many big budget titles to shame. The combat may seem mediocre at fists but definitely grows on you. Very interesting dialogue that keeps you interested for the entire journey. Interesting Companions and a great world to explore that rewards you at every turn.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is awesome! Still, even though, it is very Fallout in its execution, it's missing interesting races. How about aliens or something, much like ghouls or super mutants. It's still better than Fallout 4 and 76. I really hope this gets a sequel.… Expand

    What probably best summarizes The Outer Worlds is that, in spite of my qualms with aspects of it, I still enjoyed my time playing it. It doesn’t overstay its welcome and by the fills a void that feels wider in the wake of many larger western studios losing interest in making dedicated RPG experiences. It’s not the kind of game to stand the test of time and Obsidian has made much better and more interesting games in the past, but there is a pleasant experience to be had. For those looking for that style of single-player RPG will find a lot to like and could do a lot worse.

    I can see that while I play, The Outer Worlds is everything needed and expected from a first-person RPG, one that can then be expanded on in the future, with innovative systems, original worlds, and unexpected characters - they now have a hub to fit into. The problem for players is: why play this game instead of waiting for the one that fully escapes the shadow of Fallout?

    The Outer Worlds is the Bethesda RPG you always wanted, but it's not made by Bethesda. This is one of the finest RPG experiences that let you take complete control of your storyline, and it's one hell of a ride.
