    More of the great writing and acting, more weapons, more levels, more and more and more – it’s all great. With my super-critical head on, the story is a tad cliched, and the twist isn’t a shock to anyone who’s been paying attention, but as an expansion to an already stunning game, I can overlook those things.

    The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon DLC is a truly enjoyable return to this franchise and given the cost, it’s good value for your money. So if you have a hankering of returning to the universe of Halycon, this DLC is your panacea and is probably a nice distraction in this COVID-19 world. All in all, a well-written and carefully crafted DLC that works from the get go!

    Peril on Gorgon is a good addition to the original adventure of The Outer Worlds, it could be one of the best subplots in the game, but it is not the additional content we expected. It falls short in duration and originality, and barely offers playable news. In case there are new expansions, we hope they will follow the lead of the classic Fallout New Vegas and each one improves on the previous one.

    Without being frankly unavoidable, as much because of its rather poor ancillary content as the low contribution of new features that it brings to the original game, Peril on Gorgon nevertheless remains solid in the story it tells.

I found the story and location to be more interesting and have more going on as well as taking a more serious approach. The map can be a little frustrating at times but nothing too irritating. Would definitely recommend if you enjoyed the base game.… Expand

I already celebrated the main game (8/10), even if it had problems. The first DLC has a nice series of quests that I completed in 6 hours. I liked the clasp at the end - keyword toggle with the drink - but it wasn't outstanding either, it was simply good.

    I had a few laughs again and for that I love the game anyway. Some dialogues are just very well written.

    In terms of gameplay, there is a new planet that looks okay, but the graphics are just not that great. Unfortunately, there were no new weapons or new skills, because you could have offered a lot more depth. Armaments are also neglected.

    Well, there could have been a little more, but with 7/10 active ingredients my fun is shown quite well. But I'm expecting more from the next DLC!    … Expand

    Not even M$ cash can hype this one. Story's even weaker than the core game, humor has long since worn thin. True of all systems.
