    Story/Characters: This game is charming, halarious, and dark all at the same time. You are constantly required to make hard decisions which have a lasting impact on the world around you. The quests, for the most part, are engaging and entertaining. The characters you meet are never forgettable; this is especially true of the more important characters and followers.

The characters you meet are never forgettable; this is especially true of the more important characters and followers.

    Combat/Items: Pretty good but nothing crazy. I enjoy the weapon system, which includes lots of unique weapons and modifications. Armor is pretty basic, but modifications keep it interesting. Consumables can provide all sorts of effects and prove to be useful if you're strategic about it.

    Graphics and General Gameplay: It's a good looking game. It runs really smoothly, and I have yet to experience any weird bugs or problems so far. Frame rate remains pretty stable and is more than enough unless you're a very discerning gamer who demands 60fps.

    Character Building, Skills, Attributes: As you would probably expect, the game gives you a million different ways to build your character. Each problem has a number of different solutions; A diplomatic character can talk/lie their way out of it, some may silently murder their problems away, and others might just bash everyone's brains out with an electrified hammer. The perks also provide a lot of individuality, spanning from slowing down time more often to improving trade prices.

    It's just a great game overall. It really does remind me of New Vegas in a way, but it's also way better in basically every way imaginable. It's the best RPG I've played in a long time, and has reminded me what it's like to wish every minute could be spent playing a video game.    … Expand

    Love the game. Amazing some parts get a little boring at times but once it picks up it goes back to being amazing. Just really wish there was some type of radio to listen to and that's the only issue I have with the game. It's the Fallout New Vegas sequel we never got. Love it.

    O jogo te da uma liberdade gigante, sendo um dos mais divertidos desse ano. Muitas horas de gameplay, principalmente se aproveitar tudo que o jogo oferece. A parte gráfica é a única mediana, apresentando expressões não tão bem trabalhadas.

    Esse é um dos meus jogos favoritos da vida. O jogo tem alguns problemas, alguns bugs e uma baixa variedade de inimigos, mas nada que atrapalhe sua gameplay. Na minha opinião, foi GOTY 2019, mas isso varia muito. outro ponto é que ele está no Xbox GamePass, o que me possibilitou de jogá-lo.

    This game’s story is pretty good, but I mainly rate this 9/10 because of the fact that this is a true successor to Fallout 3, a game that I love. It has the same charm and everything. The only reason it’s a 9 and not a 10 is because the gameplay is slightly wonky. However, it’s easy to become accustomed to it, and I fully recommend this game.

    Jogo muito divertido e diferente, uma bela ideia da Obsidian, principalmente por optar um estilo gráfico pouco utilizado, mas muito bonito. Provavelmente quem gosta de RPG, vai amar jogar, mesmo tendo personagens com expressões faciais bem ruins, mas não afetará sua jogatina.

    This game won't set the world on fire with its originality, but I have very much enjoyed playing it. It can get a bit repetitive, and it also can be quite dialogue-heavy (depending of course on which choices you make in the dialogue). Some don't like the humor in this game, but I liked it for all of its light sarcasm and slight cheesyness. All in all, very enjoyable.

    Very good game, compares very favorably to the Fallout series. I found the shooting to be more satisfying, and the environments more vibrant, and it had the same snarky sense of humor. My one main criticism is that the ending seems to come out of nowhere, and once you finish, that's it for that version of the game, you cannot explore anymore afterwards

Y eso que este juego lo tenian casi acabado ya cuando Microsoft les compro. No puedo imaginarme cual será su proximo RPG AAA despues del grounded que tambien estaba apalabrado.

    Overall an enjoyable, fun game. I liked the outer space and scientific style. The story telling, voice acting and companions were good. The criticisms include inventory management, picking up so many weapons that they lose their charm and the well designed companions all being converted to ugly robot looking people in order to gain the armour stats.

Так вот играем мы за колониста, отправленного с Земли в числе прочих в поисках лучшей жизни на задворки Галактики в систему Альцион. Знакомимся мы с нашим персонажем, а заодно и формируем его образ, честно говоря не припомню, где я еще мог увидеть нашего героя кроме как в момент его сборки, категорически не припомню... Так что пока выступаете в роли Создателя запоминайте, ибо ни в немногочисленных катсценах, ни в самих диалогах нашего протагониста нам не увидеть, только руки, всё. И вот нас выводит из криосна спустя 70 лет бесцельного дрейфования в космосе безумный опальный ученый Финеас Вернон Уэллс. Оказывается что система Альцион уже давно колонизирована, но пребывает нынче в глубоком упадке в виду разгильдяйской и бесчеловечной политики крупнейших корпораций, которые как обычно высасывают ресурсы максимально задешево, пренебрегая при этом здоровьем и даже жизнями людей. Впрочем The Outer Worlds не пытается играть в агрессию, ее оружие это здоровая сатира, изобличающая корпорации и их ценности как они есть. Первая и главная задача нашего персонажа вывести из криосна оставшихся колонистов станции, для чего естественно нужно пройти непростой, но увлекательный путь, а дальше больше вариаций развития сюжета масса. Мы можем наладить жизнь колоний, дать звонкого пинка под зад зажравшимся буржуям, выбрать путь одинокого волка-беспредельщика, или вовсе продаться с потрохами корпорациям и прогнуться под них — решать только нам. В системе Альцион находится практически с десяток планет и прочих локаций, таких как космическая станция Первопроходец, Ретранслятор GB-23 и лаборатория Финеаса для детального их изучения. Каждая из планет и прочих точек интереса это небольшой, но сочный, пестрый, живой открытый мир, выглядит всё возможно слегка бюджетно, но мне лично понравилось, уютно как-то всё, по-домашнему. Понятное дело, что выпусти такое Obsidian, являясь уже частью Microsoft возникли бы конечно вопросы, но то еще был проект одиночного плавания. На каждой планете нам придется побывать как с основной миссией, так и найти себе дополнительные приключения на пятую точку, выискивая людей нуждающихся в помощи, а также постепенно пополняя собственную команду и, разруливая дополнительно еще и их проблемы. В общем, скучать не придется, у меня прохождение всех практически заданий в том числе дополнительных заняло примерно 16-20 часов.… Expand

I played it as a libertarian freedom fighter who resented the tyrannical status quo and violently opposed any big government oppressors. I probably killed a lot of people I could have interacted with. There was an entire town in the beginning that I deemed to be communist so I killed their commie leader after stealing their power for hippie farmers. The whole town just hated me and I was kill on site for the rest of the game, but there was so much else to do I didn't care. Still made plenty of allies and had a funny and fun violent romp to be the freedom champion of future space. I hope the sequel gets more budget and enemy variety, those would be my only suggestions to add to this near perfect game… Expand

    The Outer Worlds is a well-written, novel, gorgeous roleplaying game, made for today using some of yesterday's best tricks. If you fall into the trap of using fast travel it can feel like ticking off to-do list items instead of adventuring. But if you force yourself to slow down and let the sharp dialogue, otherworldly vistas, and intriguing characters work their magic, it's one of the best roleplaying experiences of the last few years.

    It’s a familiar template that The Outer Worlds builds itself around, but the depth and wit within its universe invites you ever-deeper. There’s social commentary and late-stage capitalism gallows humour all over the place, but it’s the richness of its imagined future that really holds the attention. [Issue#184, p.84]

    As a recent addition to the Microsoft Game Studios family, Obsidian have put their best foot forward with The Outer Worlds. Solid gun play, an engaging story with great, likeable characters and a world that is fun to explore and interact with. Some missions let the side down a little and the game could be bigger but with so many nods to the great RPG predecessors and taking the best elements from them this is a great game to pick up.
