    All in all and The Outer Worlds on Xbox One is so much more than Fallout in space, and I honestly think you owe it to yourself to play this game. This is one of the most entertaining gaming experiences I’ve played this year, and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone and everyone.

    The Outer Worlds is not only a breath of fresh air and easily one of Obsidian’s best ever games, but it's an experience that can truly wear the player choice badge with pride. From the RPG elements to how you play, The Outer Worlds truly is your adventure. Just don’t kill anyone’s parents in it, okay?

    The Outer Worlds, as per this very review, will be compared to Fallout by many who play it. And really, it’s the sort of comparison that will probably benefit Obsidian’s latest RPG in the long run. Because in the end, Halcyon and its many denizens, corporations, and quirks feel like an original creation worthy of this style of RPG. And much like with the original Fallout, a place well worth visiting again in a larger and more expansive experience. Like, say, in The Outer Worlds 2.

    Obsidian knows what to do. Knowing why Fallout New Vegas was liked, they have created a spiritual successor that focuses on its strengths and adds an exquisite sense of humor to make us spend a few entertaining hours.

    The Outer Worlds is not as solid as other recent games from Obsidian, but is a very good game for hardcore RPG fans.

    The Outer Worlds looks too much like Fallout New Vegas without being able to stand out. The few innovative mechanics it incorporates don't work very well and the exploration is disappointing, with ridiculously small, uninteresting areas. Still, at the end of the day, the gameplay is rather pleasant, the story and characters that grow a little more as you go along and the replayability can make the difference, as long as the "Elder Scrolls" formula doesn't turn you off.

I thought the days where long gone for the golden age of gaming in which we got to play fallout 3 and new Vegas but this has game me hope that it can still happen. This is what fallout 4 should have been, Bethesda take note this is how you make an amazing action RPG and if you left fallout with obsidian maybe fallout 76 my have never happened. WELL DONE OBSIDIAN!!!!… Expand

There are some occasional imperfections like cosmetic bugs, framerate issues and long load times, but it has a little something for just about any RPG or sci-fi gaming fan to enjoy. It is very much New Vegas in space. That and it's also pretty hilarious.… Expand

Was für ein geiles Game. Damals als das Spiel erschienen ist, habe ich es überhaupt nicht wahrgenommen. Dank des Game Pass´ habe ich es einfach mal ausprobiert, da ich neuerdings ein sehr großer Fan (PoE) von Obsidian bin. Das Spiel macht in jeder Hinsicht super viel spaß.

    One of the most soulless games I've ever played.

    Buildings, zones, trees, loot containers, objects, towns, ALL of these things are ugly,    One of the most soulless games I've ever played.

    Buildings, zones, trees, loot containers, objects, towns, ALL of these things are ugly, bland, boring and it makes the entire world utterly forgettable and uninteresting.

    Characters without soul, dialogue completely cookie cutter unmemorable nonsense.

    Atrocious combat, horribly lackluster weapons.

    And top that off with constant long loading screens and about 20 fps with drops and stuttering.    … Expand
