    Peril on Gorgon is The Outer Worlds' expansion, and all all it's a solid execution for the game. Your Captain and their crew find themselves travelling to the hell that is Gorgon asteroid which is basically a baron testing site for space drugs.

Your Captain and their crew find themselves travelling to the hell that is Gorgon asteroid which is basically a baron testing site for space drugs. You're contracted to investigate Gorgon by the heiress to a once great and prestigious family who's desperately seeking to rekindle her once noble status. In Outer Worlds style you are free to accomplish your journey in the manner of your choosing and it's not long before you're chest deep in all of Gorgon's secrets. If you're already familiar with The Outer Worlds, you'll know somewhat to expect. Abandoned facilities filled with many marauders and man-eating monsters galore, you’ll spend your time shooting them down and stashing the loot. There’s also several side quests available with rewards worth obtaining and dark humor based story. Your choices are as important here as it in the original game. Peril on Gorgon is more of the existing game but that is not a bad thing, I found the expansion a bit on the predictable side and it doesn't do much in terms of expanding the experience of the gameplay that was already present. Gorgon is definitely a big area, and there are many different locations within to explore and also raises your max level to 33 which introduces a few new perks. The Outer Worlds feels more like a plentiful role-playing experience , and existing fans will absolutely enjoy the expansion without question. I like that the expansion provides a great deal of new dialogue for Peril on Gorgon. Allies will chime in throughout the expansions main quest which will alone provide approximately 7 hours additional gameplay. If you’re a fan definitely carve out some time to explore this expansion for The Outer Worlds on Xbox One.… Expand

    Review extends to all consoles, since the big problem isn't the platform. To quote Cohh Carnage's review "Hmm. That was a DLC." Agreed with him that the story was bland and underwhelming and easily predicted. Hopefully next DLC is better, but not sure I'm going to play it.

    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.

    More of something that I found pretty awesome. 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    More of something that I found pretty awesome.

    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

    Came out too late, but even so, not quality. If you have to buy it, wait for a bundle on sale so you can at least play the DLC without backtracking through a game you've likely already played.

    Actually my favourite of the two dlc for this game. 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.

    Look I've seen some pretty bad reviews for this DLC but in my opinion it was definitely worth playing The story was really good and exploring Gorgon was so much fun people seem to forget that this DLC added so much more than just the extended story there's so many other little side quests to do like in the emerald Vale for example there used to just be a standard corporate guard down thereLook I've seen some pretty bad reviews for this DLC but in my opinion it was definitely worth playing The story was really good and exploring Gorgon was so much fun people seem to forget that this DLC added so much more than just the extended story there's so many other little side quests to do like in the emerald Vale for example there used to just be a standard corporate guard down there at the landing pad but now they added a character with a side quest it's little things like that they added so much more and it was definitely worth the purchase… Expand

    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.

    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.

    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!
