Just a word to the wise for those who are on the fence about spending 60$-80$ on a new game like I was.

    The story is great, the impact of decisions is refreshing after what games like the recent Fallouts did to this feature. You also have a wide variety of story arches as well as customization stats and items.

    The negatives (minor): I personally don't find the lore and setting of this game as interesting as Fallout, the obvious comparison being that Obsidian once made a Fallout game. However, it is refreshing to play in comparison to Fallout as it has not been hashed out half a dozen times like the former. Another thing I wish this had was a quicksave feature like Fallout. Maybe I am missing it? But it goes without saying that this is huge in an RPG style game where you can get massacred around any corner.    … Expand

The Outer Worlds won't win any beauty prizes, being a RPG does not excuse it from looking bad especially as Witcher 3 is a much older game but still looks great for 2019. Movement feels airy and slow (even when running), your interaction with the environment and objects feels detached as there is no animation when you handle or open objects and worst of all you cannot sit on chairs! Even Fallout games had animations for that! Combat doesn't feel like you're hefting a weapon about, it also feels airy with no feeling of weight behind your melee attacks.

    The fact The Outer Worlds has no micro-transactions, is a single player game and isn't made by Bethesda seems to have helped it score brownie points with critics and fans alike. But it feels like Fallout 4.5 rather than it's own game, maybe because Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, the creators of the Fallout series, served as the game's directors. Resulting in The Outer Worlds feeling very familiar to the point of being boring.    … Expand

If you wanted epic and action-rpg, then give it a chance, you should like this game, even if it's not something you've expected. Moreover, let's support single-player games and classic rpgs in this world of multiplayer and lootboxes.

    --Combat mechanics are pretty weak. Gun play is a little clunky and enemy AI is functional but doesn't require much more then ducking in and out of cover. It's forgivable because this game leans more towards RPG then FPS.
    --Small maps (compared to full on open world games) don't allow for the level of exploration I was hoping for.

    With the story it pushes, the game could not have released at a better time. The entire game is a satire of what would happen if corporations had gone completely insane about keeping their bottom lines. Humans are corporate property, and them committing suicide results in severe repercussions. They have to rent their own grave sights. Medication requires authorization. And so forth. Though I should note for those looking for some deeper meaning... the game is not pushing a political agenda. So sorry Kotaku, Verge, and who ever else... this isn't what you're looking for.

    The gameplay is great. It kept some of the Fallout New Vegas elements, but did away with a lot of the annoying bits of the combat. The over-exaggerated gunsway for example. The game is also very liberal about how you build your character. Every skill line seems to have an effect both in combat, and outside of combat. Charisma based skills can make enemies flee in terror, or convert robots to fight on your side for example.

    As for the graphics? The graphics are beautiful. But they are not for everyone. Many of the people who scream about "horrible" graphics are largely confusing realism as "graphics". The game is heavily stylized, and has a sort of technology level akin to what you could see in the movie "Alien." So while sci-fi. Nothing is beyond advanced outside a few elements. The Technicolor is also not for everyone. It doesn't get too garish, but it does a fantastic job at drawing your eye to important elements.    … Expand

    For me it was the most boring game experience so far. The dialogues with most NPCs were hopelessly boring just like some missions. Nothing about this game was anything exciting or exciting enough to keep playing. Graphically this game is also a hopeless failure for me that would not even fit on the PS3. conclusion, Outerworlds is the most boring game experience in this universe.

It's a great way to kill the time in between the main quest and is fun to just try and find some of the best weapons in the game that are just scattered around the world and not to be bought from vendors.

    Combat is solid. Though, I will admit....not as smooth or impactful as you might like.
    For one, getting hit doesn't seem to trigger any "hit reaction" just depletes your HP pool.
    And shooting enemies doesn't really trigger a "hit reaction" either. Weither you shoot them with a gun, a shotgun, flamethrower or electric beam weapon. All you do is basicly bring down the enemie's HP with damage numbers untill it dies.
    Not bothersom mind you...but it does make your weapon of choice feel more like a personal prefference that actually a "tactical" decision.

    Mind you I have not finished the game yet. But...I'm one of those "completionists"
    I like explore every nook and cranny. That said...I think this game is good for at the least 20 hours if you really just play casually. Rush the story and that number will decrease dramaticly. PLay every side quest...talk to every NPC in detail and explore every area...and that number ofcourse goes up.

    The story so far has kept my attention. The whole "World Being run By Corporations" has a nice swing to it and it works in the setting. The places you visit are mostly quite distinctive and different that it keeps you feeling like you're visiting new places.
    ALSO...The same planets can have multple landing points...so, this makes the game deceptively larger than you might think once you open the map.

    LIke I said...it's a game that requires your attention though. Story and Dialogue are strong elements of this game..it really leans more towards the whole "Role playing" aspect of the usually generelized RPG-Genre.
    That said...leveling up your character is still quite impactfull as almost all your skills directly relate to combat and some to your dialogue options. Opening up new possibilities/abbilities or quality of life perks.
    This means that exploring and fighting to gain a lot of EXP has some value to it.

    The armor and weapons are limited. And by that I mean, this is no borderlands 3. There's simply but a handfull of weapon types (Handguns, long guns, Heavy's, specials etc) and those all come in different MK types.
    So, Handgun MK1 = 50 damage. Handgun MK2 = 100 damage. Handgun MK3 = 150 damage. Etc.
    And they don`t feel differerent and only mild variations in their appearance.
    Nothing really exciting. Most damage rolls are based on your characters % mutlipliers and skills/perks.
    Still, decent and interessting enough to keep on the lookout for the more rare versions of every gun.

    TL;DR

    It's not for everyone. Lot of talking and listening. Combat is decent but not it's strong suit. Story is interessting and works. Game has very little issues and runs smooth. Weapons and armors are moderate but just enough to keep your switching out gear from time to time.
    Highly recommend to buy @ full price to support developers making games like this. 10/10    … Expand

    I've been having alot of fun playing this, definitely feels like a Fallout game over Fallout 76. This game is probably what 76 should have been like tbh, they stuck to the roots of character building with NPCs. If you're a true Fallout fan and want a new game to play try it, you'll probably like it.

    Everything feels disconnected, uncanny, unnatural and forced. Uninspired kill & fetch quests turn your journal into a boring to-do list. Eventually I just kept going from A to B, killing the same enemies in the same crossroads, corridors and camps with explosive boxes.

    The whole game lacks variety and polish. It's like Obsidian just decided they have to release in October. Even TOW's character creation is a big step backwards. There's not enough sliders or even hairstyles (for women at least) and the faces remind me of the Oblivion potatoheads. You keep blindly looting the same stuff all over again like a robot. Levelling up anything else other than speech and tech skills is useless.

    Guns miss the much needed KICK and the gunplay often ventures into Borderlandish bullet-spongy territory. Wanna know how my gunplay loop went? I resorted to spamming one button - the one that activates special abilities of my companions. Man, these cutscenes get old fast. But it was still faster than endlessly shooting the dumb hostile NPCs. Don't even get me started on melee combat. What the hell were they going for here? A homage to Morrowind?

    Yes, it's supposed to be story-driven. Mind you, I just came after playing Disco Elysium. And TOW hasn't caught my attention at all. We can all probably agree that Parvati is cute, but that's nearly not enough to carry a game. Maybe the main plot gets better later. Except it's already too late.

    What really happened here, I think, is that people really wanted to send Bethesda a huge middle finger. This was actually a part of Obsidian's marketing campaign. I guess that worked for them, but the game itself did not meet my expectations. This game gets more credit than it deserves and its rating is strongly affected by the recent AAA games. Meaning their microtransactions, bugs, artificial corporate statements - you name it. TOW has none of that, but evading these flaws does not make your game automatically a masterpiece.    … Expand

It respects the player and most important in a RPG - Respects the player choices. Without MT(micro-transactions) or any "in game purchases" this is a game worthy of the price tag and your time

    Unfortunately the characters and plot of this game did not interest me very much, but it is evident that the developers tried hard to incorporate as much choice as possible. It is not that the plot is necessarily bad, just personally found it uninteresting and forced. It may as well be another amnesiac player character story.

    The shooting and melee is competent and usually feels strong and impactful, the time slow down ability is well implemented and useful.

    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:

The dialogue from the player character side is better than anything any RPG has had to offer since Obsidian's last 1st-person shooter RPG foray *cough NEW VEGAS cough*. In many ways it does outshine New Vegas, but generally-speaking, everything feels like it's thrown at you at once with no sense of adequate pacing. You basically know every companion the second you meet them, there's very few things in the way of characterization that you learn as you travel with them. I think that this really is the fatal flaw of the game, how blunt it is. If your frontal lobe is underdeveloped and you just like when the funny scientist man doesn't like capitalism, then you're liable to have a good time. If not, you'll probably roll your eyes half the time, even if you don't disagree.

    There's also a huge problem with moment-to-moment gameplay, since the combat is literally the worst I've suffered through this year at least. I played on hard, and my lord is everything too spongey. Ammo is basically a non-concern, so to balance that out they made everything deal basically no damage. You can basically only play stealth since it feels like nothing makes any real impact, especially in the first half of the game. If I can get turned into red paste in a microsecond, then you bet your ass that I think my shotgun should do the same.

    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.

    A real old school gamers game. Refreshing to play something so well designed, written and playable. Its also strangely relaxing

    A better Fallout than Fallout himself. The gameplay is smoth and fun, the story is very good and fun. The graphics are amazing and the characters are fantastically writen. The follower system is the best in any RPG game i've seen. Nice job Obsidian, nice job.

    This is Obsidian at it's best. A great narrative and fun gameplay. Decisions actual affect outcome and I don't have to pay $100 a year to enjoy mediocirty ;) It's a bit linear but in the end I don't mind.

    Good Story but not worth $60 due to quality. Clouds were low quality, maps were baren to nothing but foilage and the same type of enemies with terrible drops. Overall should have been max $30

    The game was a poor parody of fallout, the writing tried too hard to be witty and biting and fell on its face in both regards, the gameplay was tedious,boring and uninteresting, and the story was almost entirely linear to the point that if you don't go the intended route some of the quests seem entirely incoherent and unintended

    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.
