    super igra,odlična priča, dijalozi i izbor istih je sjajan. Prosječna grafika i prosječna duljina igre,malo prekratko za moj ukus...

    Its ok. Its not bad, but there really isn’t anything special about it either. The story is meh, the player choices are meh, the characters are kinda cool sometimes, the world is meh, the gunplay is meh. It scratches the bethesda fallout itch, but that’s about it. Its certainly no non-bethesda fallout.

    Замечательная игра с увлекательный геймплеем, интересной историей и классным юмором:) Люди жалуются на продолжительность, но мне она вовсе не показалась короткой, побочки занимательные, игра восторг!:)

    Excellent game! Exactly what an old Bethesda fan want. Lucky for us Obsidian stepped up when Bethesda became greedy morons. If you like games like Morrowind or fallout NV you'll love TOWorlds!

    I absolutely love this game,it's basically everything that Fallout76 isn't and Bethesda needs to take a few pointers from Obsidian because they really nailed the game play and story and writing in this game,Kudos to Obsidian for making an Outstanding game *Bravo*

    This Game is my 2019 goty. Amazing rpg mechanics, great story and characters (For the most part), and ok side missions. A extremely optimized and polished game, with few bugs even in a unpatched disk version. Unlike the creation engine, this game is made in unreal engine 5, and looks way less aged than games on creation engine. It's a solid 30-40hr game that has incredible replayability.This Game is my 2019 goty. Amazing rpg mechanics, great story and characters (For the most part), and ok side missions.

Only downfalls are that some areas (scylla and Byzantium) were underwhelming (obviously due to budgetary reasons), as well as a lack of ng+ (Which I'm still hopeful that it will come in the following months). Play this game asap. I will have my look out for its sequel, which unfortunately will not come to a PlayStation due to MS acquisition. Will still play its sequel on PC.… Expand

    Outer Worlds is just an amazing experience. The game is just down right fun and obsidian nailed it. It looks amazing and runs well. You can continue the game even after killing multiple quest giving NPC's which is amazing sense other games tend to run off of so many un-killable NPC's. The game isn't long which I think is completely fine. It doesn't overstay it's welcome.

    The only negative thing I noticed was the enemy AI was questionable at times.
    I wouldn't even be sneaking and just walk right behind an enemy and they still wouldn't notice me sometimes.

    Overall though I have to recommend this as a must play for RPG fans.    … Expand

    It is a really good step forward when you look at the games released over the last 3 years. Single player focus, world-building, kinda nice lore and good RPG elements.

    BUT it lacks much needed side quests to lose yourself, divert from the main storyline and experience the setting created.

    The companions are nice but there is a long way to go before catching up with Mass Effect standards. You don't bond, you eventually don't care about them in the end.

    Last but not least, the game is TOO short. Anyways, good work!    … Expand

    After about 15 hours of playtime I just got bored with this game. Put it down and have never had the urge to go back.

    It does have a lot of charm and wit but after that wore off I couldn't find anything that hooked me.

    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.

    Not a bad game kinda lacking in environments and places to explore. Wish my character had a voice, he's kinda mute. I understand that's a obsidian thing but maybe we can start giving our player a voice? It's almost 2020. the game was overall enjoyable and combat was fun, but some of the conversations just drag on too long. I'd wait for all the DLCs to be out so it has more variety.

    Ну что я хочу сказать о The Outer Worlds на ps4, Obsidian есть Obsidian. Я не знаю, почему они так сделали игру, но такое ощущение, что "беседка" им запретила менять что-либо в фаллаут-образных играх. Вроде и движок другой, а такое ощущение, что играешь в какой то фаллаут.
    Начну с анимации, тут как говорится, найди три отличия от фаллаут 4.
    Теперь загрузки. Они обещали бесшовный мир. В    Ну что я хочу сказать о The Outer Worlds на ps4, Obsidian есть Obsidian.

Вроде и движок другой, а такое ощущение, что играешь в какой то фаллаут.
    Начну с анимации, тут как говорится, найди три отличия от фаллаут 4.
    Теперь загрузки. Они обещали бесшовный мир. В итоге из 60 минут одного сюжетного задания 50 минут я наблюдал экран загрузок (версия ps4 может на РС будет быстрей, не пробовал).
    Наконец прокачка. Я не знаю, зачем они меняли ее в "Нью Вегасе"? В 3м фаллауте, по-моему, было лучше. Так вот сюда они перетащили ее из "Вегаса". То есть перки даются только в чётный уровень, зачем? Не знаю.
    Еще я не понял фишки с ингалятором. В него можно вставлять сразу несколько бонусов, согласен к месту. Но вот почему нельзя было простую лечилку поставить на отдельную кнопку или на долгое нажатие? Объясню. Аптечек в игре много, а вот всяких улучшалок не очень. Поэтому, когда во время боя тебе нужно просто полечиться раза 2 или 3, ты тратишь не только аптечку, но и ценные улучшалки вставленные в ингалятор, впустую. Так что проще поставить игру на паузу выбрать то, что нужно в данный момент и продолжить. А в ингаляторе у мня всегда была только одна лечилка.
    Да ещё. В игре присутствуют лесбиянки. Зачем они попали в игру и кому это надо? Я не понял.
    Теперь о хорошем... ЭТО Fallout В КОСМОСЕ!!! И это перевешивает все предыдущие недостатки. Хотелось бы русскую озвучку для более полного погружения, но имеем, что имеем.
    И так, кому зашел "Вегас" зайдет и эта игра. Мне фаллаут от Obsidian понравился меньше 3й части, поэтому дикого восторга не испытал. А так советую попробовать, может понравится!
    Кстати очень странно, но игра заканчивается после финальных титров. После этого в открытом мире поиграть не дадут...    … Expand

    Game impress first, but after three hours of playing it will disappoint you. I expected more intelligent AI in 2019. after two hours of playing i understand why skill "+25% damage if you alone" was added to game. They can just stay aroud you and do nothing or run into heart of fight and die in seconds. 0 points for balance with **** (7 real)

    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.

If gaming wasn't in a spot where games are praised by virtue of actually working as intended at launch, this game would be okay at best. Consumables are basically useless outside of the highest difficulty setting, combat is pretty meh, not a whole lot of weapon variety, perks are kinda s****y, companion perks even more so. Yes we get it corporations are evil, you don't need to beat us over the head with it. Companions are bland, and the story is kinda hard to care about. Don't get it twisted, it's a reasonably good game and a return to what Fallout is supposed to be, but it's definitely not the be all to end all. I feel like this game is maybe a 6.5 but I'll be generous and round it up to a 7. Worth buying but probably not at full price.… Expand

    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.

    Outer Worlds is an extremely fun and unique experience. The world building is fantastic of this game, the dialogue is great, and combat is fun. The biggest strength of this game, is the writing and finding all the terminals. The biggest weakness is how safe Oblivion played it and how close to the vest they played. They didn't venture out, it feels like a re-skin of New Vegas.

    Biggest gripe I have, is the game feels so lacking of quests. My first playthrough, I was able to grab (to my knowledge) almost every single quest leading to the end of the day and some of them, finally went to me just having to fast travel and go to load screen to load screen and running from planets. Another complaint, is the difficulty of the game. This is one of the easiest games I've played in quite some time, even on the hardest difficulty. Mix that with the modding system, which never really felt that impactful, feels abit like a letdown.

    Graphics wise, the game was fantastic. Virtually experienced 0 bugs or if it was, it was minor visual bugs. The customization in the game, is fantastic for your character and for the skill system. You can make a stealthy, assassin who snipes people and hacks and picks locks or a swavy gun slinger.

    The choice system in the game, makes me want to play the game again and experience the choices that could have happened.

    All in all, the games very good, be it abit so safe. Its above average, but just more of what you expect with a new skin.    … Expand

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.

    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?
