    This game is exactly what I hoped it would be. A real space RPG with a colorful cast and a wicked sense of humor. Gameplay is really enjoyable and it's easy to get lost in it for hours.

Its an early game review, but I found myself playing Pillars of Eternity the other day, totally forgetting I had this brand new game to play. It just doesn't do it for me. There's been no, I cant wait to get back to the game with TOW for me. With the bar having been set high by RDR2 and other games on the horizon, this game seems like a discount purchase to fill space. I highly regret paying full freight. As someone who loved New Vegas, thought F4 was ok and skipped 76, I think most comments reflect a desire for a New Vegas type game and gloss over the problems this game has for a AAA title.… Expand

    The Outer Worlds can be a fantastic start to a new IP for Obsidian Entertainment but it has definitely certain downfalls. For rpg genre and Fallout fans it is definitely worth a play but wait for a price cut.

For rpg genre and Fallout fans it is definitely worth a play but wait for a price cut.

    I was playing this on my PS4 Pro with SSD so I cannot say how textures and loading times are normally. To me it was pretty decent in the seconds between areas. The engine itself seems solid in general I had hiccups in one singular spot, the rest of the game was fluid with no frame rate issues at all.

    The engine looks pretty but might be to graphically overloaded for some people. I personally enjoyed it besides some hefty blurring effects. Sound is decent, the whole game is vocalized and well done. The controls are pretty standard, no deadzone hiccups but with some details left for improvement, e.g. panning time in the galaxy screen, standard setting of the menu and quest sorting etc.

    The rpg and world elements are decent and have similarities to Fallout especially when it comes to looting and dialogue management. I m personally not a fan of Fallout but I enjoyed The Outer Worlds because it was a decent bit more polished, no bugs at all, good asthetics and worthy quality-of-life improvements. Also the movement and combat feeling is less clunky and more fluid. The skill and perk system is outstanding, same goes to the companion system. In my whole playthrough I was over-encumbered ONCE which was so enjoyable because I was free to grab everything I liked when I chose the according skills ans perks to enhance carrying weight decently.

    The weapons are okay-ish but also somewhat uninspiring in general. I was playing melee, which was not that fun, besides I used maybe two weapons to finish the game and the variety was clearly lacking in comparison to other titles. Same goes to other weapons I found. The variely lacks a tough bit in this game same goes to the game length overall. I cleaned up quite a lot of the companion and side quests, still the game did not last even 20hrs on normal. For veterans I highly suggest a higher difficulty. I think playing it with full range and tank companion is way too easy.

    The bullet time feature is a nice addition but nothing new. The inhalator system for buffing and healing is something newly refreshing but nothing that extra ordinary after all. Decisions mostly matter and you can decide quite a bit of how fractions will develop and behave, although choosing the lie/persuade/etc. related sentences are mostly the right choice anyways. In the end the regions are way too small and the game is far too short to make any of these decisions really something of weight. Surely it changes the ending you will receive but it did not touch me too much on whom I killed or let live. Worthy note: you wont be able to game on after the games point-of-no-return. Which is a little bit sad.

    Equipment balance seemed a bit dull on normal. At the beginning I was way too weak going melee (with full melee skill+perks!!) and had to watch my steps pretty well then I found a sword and got my companion. After that things smoothened out. One more weapon find and companion number two made this a run through without thinking. I still did not like melee at all and wont suggest it. If you want a bigger challenge get rid of one or both companions. Although I enjoyed the feeling of not being "alone" on my journey.

    Summary:
    The game was pretty enjoyable and I would recommend it, for a price cut though of at least 20%. The game is too short and the areas are too small. Even switching to higher difficulties will not change this issue. The game is pretty and well polished. I did not encounter a single bug or quest issue. The atmosphere is nice and the story itself has charisma but being totally transparent... it did not catch me too much.

    I would like to see The Outer Worlds 2 with some more quality of life settings, especially for console players and more content. This new IP certainly has everything it needs to make a worthwhile second happening.    … Expand

    I really want to see Obsidian go further. The Outer Worlds was a fantastic breath of fresh air. No microtransactions no nonsense. The writing was hilarious and the exploration was thrilling. The only gripe I have is that the combat was a little repetitive.

Although some of the science weapons does add an entertainment attribute to it. Colors are vibrant, but makes it hard to differentiate between what’s lootable and what’s not. Graphics are pretty bad for 2019. Many of the “bads” can be forgiven as the developers didn’t have an endless budget to perfect all areas. This new IP does give me strong hope for the future of obsidian. For 60$ it’s worth the purchase, you get a fully entertaining game with major replay ability, virtually bug free. I would recommend this game for people who loves RPGs.… Expand

    For me, a former huge fan of the entire Fallout franchise, playing this game was nothing short of Obsydian showing Bugthesda their middle finger. A beautiful, rich game with a solid story line and a filling of freedom in decisions on how to finish it. I only wish it was longer and it had a build motive like we had in fallout 4

    Dont expect Fallout 3 or 4! The outer worlds started slow and the combat was clunky in my opinion and i was ready to throw in the towel at about 10 hours of play BUT i stuck with it and played more and now im in love. Great game folks. Definitely worth $60 for some great entertainment.

    A great start, but they really needed to implement the stuff that are also bad about Fallout? Also, there's a lot of silly quests, like, you speak to the NPC, then you go to the next room, read a document that is conviniently right there, go back and talk again to the NPC. Wow, mission acomplished! There are some graphical glitches, but in general it's a good game. Far from perfect, but fun.

    As a matter of fact, everything here is a really just a step above Fallout 4 and 76 (which I've put about 60 hours in, regardless of how much of a mess that game IS) Jumping/crouching and overall movement feels more akin to a faster FPS like Borderlands, but not quite as sharp as say COD or Battlefield.

    At first, the gameplay will seem boring and not as challenging when set on Normal. So I changed it to hard recently and there is a noticeable difference in terms of how the AI responds and I recommend you do the same to keep things fresh. (that is unless you are a more casual gamer)

    As for the world and the story. Everything seems much more lively and fun to play. The writing is really good, the voicework and old-school dialog choices is a breath of fresh air, that is sorely missed from Fallout.

    I know there is just too much to compare with Fallout here, save for the original PC titles. But Obsidian delivers a fun and quirky adventure that doesn't require you to spend hundreds of hours in to love it.    … Expand

    Feels like a good Fallout 3d game. But it is too linear and just too short. Feels like you get rushed through the game halfway through.

    Flow of the story feels like Dragon Age 2. Very linear but your companions regularly want you to revisit old places.

    The Outer Worlds is, hands down, the best game I have played in a long, long time. The last time I cared so much about my companions was Mass Effect. The last time I had so much freedom was in Fallout NV (alto that NV gave the player even more freedom and options, but that's due to its settings).

    also the consumable system in this game is convoluted im not that high of a level and i own an entire supermarket OK obsidian i know you want your game to be stylized with content but i never find myself using these at a constant rate compared to how frequent i find these items

    my next point. pristine items are pointless. they weren't given much effort to them, all they are normal weapons with more durability and price value.
    no special abilities
    not anything different in looks

    also can someone tell me why they made the character creation very detailed and specific but in the actual game you can't have the option of 3rd person

    stealth is really bad in this game, no matter the approach you take to killing a guy after you hit him enemies get alerted no matter what you cant chain kill and theres no point in meleeing, you cant do stealth with guns either since there are no silencers

    however apart from all these the game is very fun just wish it would be more detailed, story is good, quests are varied, gunplay feels great, companions are interesting and it is one of the best rpgs that have come out lately. the dialogue is definitely the best part of the game. your choice its better than fifa    … Expand

    So old school and so safe it's actually pretty boring. Especially considering the visual aspect of it circa 2010. How could you make UE4 look so bad.. And those endless loading screens between tiny, by today's standards, hubs with repetitive enemy encounters?. Unless you're willing to get real deep into the lore and the storyline and play with factions, the action aspect of just isn't worth it.

    Here is why:

    I was nervous about pre ordering this game (not that it really matters since there is literally no harm no foul for cancelling a pre order and it's only $5)... but my trepidation was from the fact that (surprisingly) not many people I knew had heard of this game in the year leading up to it, but also, I had very high expectations due to the promises of the "throwback rpg" that was supposedly bundled in a "Firefly" type universe. I mean... c'mon! What more could you ask for?

    By "throwback rpg," I'm referring to the good ol' days where your decisions ACTUALLY meant something. Your freedom was real and not artificial and not just some marketing promise used to get you to buy the game. I'm talking "old school, dialogue heavy, relationship building, watch your vicarious character's traits/personalities flesh out and evolve right before your eyes based off of your decisions and actions" kind of game.... did that make sense?

    So with my high expectations, I couldn't help but feel that I was setting myself up for disappointment... like so many other games that came out in recent years (*cough* Days Gone *cough*). SO MANY GAMES get our hopes up with OVER promising and UNDER-delivering.

    Folks, this game delivers on all fronts. True RPG. True to it's promises of decision making/impacting dialogue... OH AND the combat. One thing I didn't hold my breath on (because of past shooting mechanics of the Fallout game) was the... shooting... mechanics. I was doubly prepared for poor shooting because I just came off of Borderlands 3, where the shooting is phenomenal! LOW AND BEHOLD....THE SHOOTING MECHANICS ARE SHOCKINGLY GREAT! Perfect? No. But they hold their own, which just adds to the already superb premise of the game play. It looks like Death Stranding is set up to be a snooze fest and a disappointment (based off of early reviews... even the good reviews state it's boring and extremely frustrating). All I gotta say is thank you "The Outer Worlds" for being the first game in a long time.... maybe ever for keeping ALL OF YOUR PROMISES... AND THEN SOME!!    … Expand

    The combat is really satisfying. Going into slow-mo actually has usage in this game instead of just looking cool or aim better.

    Just an awesome "indie" game. They did it right and made a great game and sold a great game. They didn't try and sneak customers out of more money with slick microtransactions. This is what gaming should be!

    The Outer Worlds is an amazing game unfortunately it’s far to short. I can’t wait for a sequel to this game I’m sure it will be amazing.

    Do not believe what you read about this game. I'm a huge fan of RPGs and in particular the Fallout franchise and, for that reason, I decided to check out Obsidian's new game.

I'm a huge fan of RPGs and in particular the Fallout franchise and, for that reason, I decided to check out Obsidian's new game. However, I was severely disappointed. The most underwhelming element of this game was the general story and lore. Compared to Fallout, it doesn't hold a candle. Characters and dialogue do not draw you in. The majority of quests boil down to a rather meaningless objective with minimal choice and consequence. Companions are uninteresting in comparison to previous games such as Fallout: New Vegas, and it feels as if companion quests are not fleshed out and or boring. Locations are also very lackluster. All of the various buildings in the world look almost identical. They are just a few different amalgamations of one another. I know this was done for lore purposes, but I completely disagree with the decision. It creates a monotone visual palate and does not incentivize exploration. A lot of the satisfying gameplay elements that are common in Fallout are missing in this game. The game lacks character, especially considering that Obsidian said this was their dream game. Where is the satisfying gore and blood in combat (e.g. bloody mess) or the interesting weapons( e.g Alien blaster, gauss rifle, fat man)? The leveling system and perks also felt very uninspired. Choosing particular perks or flaws felt meaningless. Perks were for the most part just statistical upgrades that lacked the uniqueness that I've come to expect from other games like Fallout. Combat, for me, was also a source of disappointment. Say what you want about games like Fallout 4 but the combat was dramatically better than this game. I don't want hear excuses about the game being primarily an RPG and having lackluster combat for that reason. Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a clear example that both can be satisfied. I could go on and on about how the universe just didn't hold up to games like Fallout, but all you need to know is that the 1950s retro vibes of Fallout far surpass anything the Outer Worlds has to offer. This game is just another example of a game that sticks strictly to a good-evil dichotomy and does not offer any morally ambiguous or gray situations like highly commended RPGs such as the Witcher 3. The corporations in this game that serve as the antagonists are super uninteresting and not hateable. There are no NPC encounters that come to mind when I think about my time playing this game. Furthermore, the dark humor and morally insane characters of Fallout are all but absent from this game. Humor is mostly stupid and not funny. It feels as if it was toned down for an elementary school audience. This game is mature for chrissakes! Please, step up in these departments. This game makes no major improvements( if anything it regresses in areas like melee combat) over games that came out almost 10 years ago. I'm not expecting Rockstar or Naughty Dog level of graphics, but god this game looks like a dog excrement, and I'm not just saying that to be a hater. For a 60 dollar AAA experience, this game is kinda pathetic. I understand that this is a smaller project with a smaller dev team, but this game just does not warrant 60 dollars. Horizon: Zero Dawn was a better RPG, and it was primarily an action game! Although many people are raving about this game, I feel like much of the excitement around this game is simply due to a lack of triple AAA open world RPGS in the vein of those published in the past by Bethesda Game Studios and CD Projekt Red. The choice to spread the game out over several planets had a negative impact on the overall quality of exploration and towns, cities, locations, etc. Don't get me wrong these areas are not linear, but they do feel incredibly confined and constraining in comparison to other better open-world RPGs. The main quest, although I will not spoil it, just ends in an underwhelming fashion. There are less endings in this game than I have come to expect from a developer like Obsidian. This game does have some redeemable factors such as some choice and consequence, but oftentimes I felt like I could murder the whole town and not significantly impact my playthrough and the end of the game. Warning: For those who have played and enjoyed Fallout 3, New Vegas, or 4 this game may not be for you. I definitely don't recommend this game, and I hope this review was helpful for those who are on the edge or considering picking up this title. Some will enjoy the game, but if you are a fan of the games I have referenced it may serve you well to temper your expectations!… Expand

    Instant classic. Fans of Fallout: New Vegas NEED apply. The visuals are way better than expected, the gunplay is tight, the story is fun and humorous, the dialogue is tongue in cheek, inventory management is what I've been missing since New Vegas. The character creation and skill progression are exactly what an RPG fan wants. I'll buy any DLC they release for this. Please take my money.

    This game carries the mark of Obsidian and simplifying, I can only say that the game follows a simple premise and can even surpass it, which is to be an RPG worthy of being successor to others who made history.

    When it comes to mechanics, the game resembles games from Bethesda. Everyone wondered before the premiere whether the game would be as good as Fallout New Vegas. I can by now write to you: The Outer Worlds is even better than New Vegas, better than Fallout 4! :) . It's a real RPG, not an adventure game with RPG elements. Obsidian showed Bethesda how to do role-playing games.

    As a narrative/experience, it's amazing.
    As an RPG, it's very good.
    As a sci-fi FPS, it's OK.
    As a loot-grind game, it doesn't rate, because it's not trying to do that.
    As a sandbox game, same as above.

    This game is awesome and I want more like it.

    Games great. Simple review incoming. I have played only 6 hours in this game and already love it. Great dialogue and voice acting. First game in a long time were the faces really look like faces. Combat it dated but I'm not here for a fast paced explosion heavy combat system. Play on hard to make combat challenging and fun. Feels alot like FO new Vegas, if you like thatbs you will likeGames great. Simple review incoming. I have played only 6 hours in this game and already love it. Great dialogue and voice acting.

    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.
