    With the modern ability to patch games, there’s a good chance this review might be rendered completely irrelevant within a few months — that’s one of the perils of writing something in an age where so many experiences are dramatically different months after release. My hope is that someday the Spacer’s Choice Edition will be a great version of The Outer Worlds, but that day ain’t today.

For those fake 10s, 9s, and 8s are not honest, performances issues on performance is terrible. When the last gen was given a 60fps patch this "upgrade" literally downgraded to unplayable disaster. There is a second mode to which that drops to 22-30fps give or take. The game will crash if you are using not the performance mode..I mean the beginning npc gives you a weapon you shoot the barrels the blast will eat the fps to 5 and no this is not a joke. The lighting is so off and the colors seems unreal, face models looks pretty decent but the issues is the bad fps drops is ridiculous. The devs had the gull to charge full price 60 bucks and charge the existing players 10 bucks to upgrade to which that's ridiculous. At this time of writing there has been confirmed patches on the way but when will that be is uncertain. The devs should be ashamed of themselves for charging this upgrade when it should've been free for owners of the game and new players at least 30 bucks but my word the game is so unplayable so my score of this "upgrade" is a 0: From the experiences in the first 10 mins of terrible performance on both modes.… Full Review »

In short it looks stunning vs the ps4 edition, nice shadows good lighting, very vibrant and colourful and great loading times but that is where this good streak ends. The rest of the upgrades are woefully underwhelming, extremely poor performance on both graphics settings, nasty graphical glitches that completely break immersion (shinny hair, pop in, non existent shadows etc.).

    All this makes the product very hard to say it's an upgrade but this is rather summed up quite well from one of the games corporate slogans "It's not the best choice, it's spacers choice" (nowhere near the best.)    … Full Review »

    The game is a disaster in everyway. Performance, grainy picture, aiming reticle disappearing, lag spikes, stuttering, and oh boy performance.The game is a disaster in everyway. Performance, grainy picture, aiming reticle disappearing, lag spikes, stuttering, and oh boy performance. Game has 2 modes. A 60fps and a 30fps. Both run horrible. On PS5, it runs on average in 60fps mode 48-52. In 30fps mode 22-27. In my opinion this was a quick get it out game launch for money and who cares how it plays. Hopefully on PS5 refunds are coming.… Full Review »
