    The game is a great RPG. The best thing about this game is the conversations and choices you make. You can kill every NPC in the game, even the quest-givers if you want.

You feel like you are playing a ten-year-old game. Although it is not a real open-world game, there are too many and long loading screens. I mean the game requires loading even when you enter a small house. It was acceptable in the years of Fallout NV or Skyrim, but not in 2019. Animations are old. Perks are not creative like in Fallouts. There is no point to wear light or medium armor. They have no advantage against heavy armor. The weakest part of this game is the low variety of enemies. When you travel to other planets, you don’t notice changes in flora and fauna. The game is not really developed for consoles. The text size is too small to play the game on TV. I don’t remember any music from the game. The game has great potential. I hope the developers will work on these negative sides on the second game.… Expand

    I was incredibly hyped for this game leading up to launch, mostly because of the Obsidian name: after all, Obsidian is a fantastic studio with a pretty stellar track record of handling other companies' IPs, I was excited to see them get the chance to flex their creative muscles and develop a completely original game. After sinking about 15 hours into it, however, I'm pretty disappointedI was incredibly hyped for this game leading up to launch, mostly because of the Obsidian name: after all, Obsidian is a fantastic studio with a pretty stellar track record of handling other companies' IPs, I was excited to see them get the chance to flex their creative muscles and develop a completely original game. After sinking about 15 hours into it, however, I'm pretty disappointed with the end result. To be fair, there's a lot to like about this game: it's gorgeous to look at, and the core shooting mechanics are really fun and satisfying. In spite of all this, I find the overall experience to be incredibly shallow. While it's clear that Obsidian put their experience working on Knights of the Old Republic II to good use here, in a lot of ways KotOR II is a much more ambitious game than the Outer Worlds, and KotOR II came out 15 years ago: For example, in KotOR II, there was an influence system for companions, wherein your companions questlines would only revealed if you said or did things that they liked. Even after all my playthroughs of that game, I still haven't fully explored every companion's questline. Here though, the companions just kind of offer their quests to you without you having to put in any effort, and the quests themselves have such a frustratingly low payoff, you'd be just as well off not doing them in the first place. Furthermore, the Outer Worlds gives you the option to kick your companions out of your crew. When I saw that there were only 6 companion slots available, I was excited: I was going to have to make some decisions, kick some people out in order to make room for better crewmembers down the road. But then I learned that there are only 6 companions in the whole game, and I started to wonder what was even the point of including that game mechanic: why give me the option of kicking people out of my crew if I have no one to replace them with? That's not choice, that's the illusion of choice. And while we're on the subject of things KotOR II did better than the Outer Worlds, why did the Ebon Hawk get pre-rendered cutscenes every time it entered and left a planet, while the Unreliable only gets still images and loading screens? The Outer Worlds is not a huge game, you'd think they'd be able to fit in a few lousy flying animations.

    Another point of criticism I have is the writing (and the world-building in general, for that matter). The writing is, in a word, mediocre. It's *almost* really good, but it feels forced, like the devs were trying *really* hard to emulate the success of quirky, humorous first person games like Portal or Borderlands, and therein lies the fatal flaw of this game: it's all about emulation. Everything about the Outer Worlds is just a cheap imitation of other, better games. It's overly safe and it adds nothing new to the genre. It's big, it's shiny, and it's empty. What a letdown.    … Expand

    This game has a lot of vending machines in it. You can comically sell weapons to a static vending machine. Last night, I think I sold about 30 firearms to a vending machine. Go ahead and contemplate that thought as you determine whether or not this is the space RPG you've been waiting for. It's close, but it's not. It’s truly not.

    I get the idea a bunch of folks got together and    This game has a lot of vending machines in it. You can comically sell weapons to a static vending machine. Last night, I think I sold about 30 firearms to a vending machine. Go ahead and contemplate that thought as you determine whether or not this is the space RPG you've been waiting for. It's close, but it's not. It’s truly not.

    I get the idea a bunch of folks got together and they're like: what if we combined Fallout/Firefly/Skyrim/Mass Effect/RDR2 into one game, and made it a unique space RPG! Then (because they were cheap/lazy/didn't know what they were doing), what they did was take (steal) the ideas of all these other games without crafting their own unique cohesive theme. You get Fallout’s walking around wastelands, retro art concept, and extremely similar armor and weapons; you get Red Dead’s dead eye; Mas Effect’s companions, crewmates, and ship; and so on. The problem is this game doesn’t do any of these same concepts well or even as good as the games they stole from. It’s all mediocre and bland. You’ve played this game before, but when you played it the last time it was a better game.

    However, all of this would work if the game produced quality quests or interesting characters. It does not. Go somewhere, kill everyone/everything, grab an item, return to quest giver, receive payment (falls asleep playing). You literally meet one of your companions on the dock, he’s an unemployed laborer. You can just hire him right there and you learn/know nothing about him. Another one is a robot on your ship already and you just power him up randomly. Gee, interesting characters and story arcs (falls asleep playing).

    Couldn’t care less about the Obsidian / Bethesda hate ritual, I didn’t like Fallout 4/76 at all. But this sure isn’t a good game. It’s cheap, tedious, and most of all it’s just plain boring. Look elsewhere for a space RPG you can care about.    … Expand

    Graphics are horrible, honestly. Just played Uncharted 4 on my PS4; it's possibly the best looking game I've played on a console, and now I have to face THIS on an XBox One X, the most powerful console of the current generation???

    The game is a Fallout knockoff, from the 50s-themed atmosphere to the combat mechanics, to perks and weapon/armor customization. Not necessarily a bad thing, but at best it looks like an uglier, simplified, Fallout 4. With several small, cramped mini-areas where exploration is pretty limited.
    I kinda like the tongue in cheek approach, the game doesn't take itself too seriously and often makes me laugh, or at least smile. Although "evil heartless corporation" jokes you unearth from locked terminals are already beginning to stretch thin. Ok, I get it, corporations don't give a damn about the lives of their employees, but after a while, the jokes begin to become stale.
    And finally, male bashing. In the first city you visit: the male leader is essentially a heartless slave driver who is not very gifted in the smarts department. A dissident encampment nearby is led by a compassionate and kind female leader, and guarded by a tough as nails female sheriff. My follower Parvati explained that her father was a grease monkey while her mother was a brilliant scientist, so it only made sense that the father would raise her, he was just a menial drone. We travel to a space station and the ruler is a super strong lesbian woman, selfless, honest to a fault and infinitely courageous, descending from a matrilinear lineage of equally powerful leaders. The security chief leading the mardets (marine detachment) is a super strong and competent woman who takes her job very seriously. If you try to talk to the guy next to her, he'll tell you he isn't allowed to respond to inquiries because he always makes mistakes when writing down people's name and surname. On the same station, we also find a white male ambassador, who, surprise surprise, is a slimy idiot. A secret lab on the Terra 2 planet: the chief is a white male scientist who is despised by all of his peers and only cares for himself and his life in the Capital, while also being utterly incapable of managing the station. A gangster city, on another planet: led by a super strong woman who may be a gangster but is exceedingly capable and is feared by all her minions - and her superior is in turn another super strong and efficient woman, residing on the space station. I meet one of her underlings, a male idiot, and there's a joke involving repeatedly punching him in the eye to put him in his place. See a trend so far?
    I find it funny how "diversity" has come to mean "bash white males like there's no tomorrow".

    I hope it gets better going forward. It's not bad so far, but it's certainly not original and doesn't measure up with recent games technically. Also, the nazifem approach certainly wins no points with me, although I reckon some may appreciate it.    … Expand

    I loved New Vegas. The way that game made you feel like you had an impact on the game world right from the first mission was amazingly well done.

    This game has none of that. Everything feels like a chore with no consequences of your actions other than a little notice that you treated one faction badly and I guess they don't like you now? I wish I could understand what ppl are so stocked about, I just don't get it...    … Expand

    I finished the game now at the good end and I say for sure, it's one of the best games of the year and the best RPG of the year. Obsidian has done a great job working with limited resources I can't wait to see this game continue with funding from Microsoft, once again Obsidian proves capable and as much as I am a fan of Bethesda now she will have a heavyweight competitor.

    I have learned that I cannot trust professional game reviewers. Get a game for free, get paid to play it, and finish the whole thing in the 20 hours you budgeted for it before you have to play something else? 10/10, the return of proper Fallout!

    This is not proper Fallout. Fallout 4, for all its faults, is a much better Fallout game, and Fallout 4 is a pretty bad Fallout game.

    This is not proper Fallout. Fallout 4, for all its faults, is a much better Fallout game, and Fallout 4 is a pretty bad Fallout game. But even on its own, Outer Worlds is pretty lackluster. The adventure is on rails, stats and consumables don't particularly matter, and the environments are small. There is no point in exploring because you will get a green blip leading you to literally everything in the area eventually.

    The game only scores as high as it does with me because it fooled me into thinking there was going to be more for a decent amount of time. There is not more. I paid for a month of Game Pass for this and I am thankful that's all I spent.

    That said, leave that anti-SJW nonsense at home. Yes, there is a lesbian, and yes, sometimes a woman will be in charge. If this is a threat to your fragile masculinity, please feel free to recede from modern society and leave the rest of us alone.    … Expand

Combat sucks, exploration sucks (literally non existent), enemies suck (there are like 6), loot sucks, dialogue options suck, character creation sucks and is also redundant in a fps, characters are like robots apart from companions and Phineas, and the game just ends in an anti-climax, as if they said **** what do we do now?" Fallout 4 is leagues better as a Bethesda rpg and that had a voiced character and limited dialogue options due to it, but at least that benefitted somewhat story wise. This game doesn't benefit at all from any design choices, its just a plain generic bore.… Expand

There ARE many side quests, however I put in about 30 hours and have literally nothing else to do and have fully completed the game. In my opinion, 30 hours for a $60 RPG just shouldn't happen. If they had more content (or if they release free DLC) it would be more worth the money.

The game provides a memorable time without overstaying its welcome. Its fantastic ,funny and an effective critique of corporate culture. For info The Outer Worlds is Obsidian’s Entertainment's final game as they aren now part of Microsoft Studios.

    This is a beautifully crafted game, it shows that it was carefully developed, it is story driven, has diverse RPG elements for your character, I deducted a point because however diverse the character traits are, the weapon and armor diversity is scarce, especially mid to late game.

    Obsidian no necesita presentación a este punto de la historia de los videojuegos, pues ya nos ha dado joyitas del gaming de rol como el aclamado Fallot: New vegas, el fabuloso Pillars Of Eternity, y su igualmente buena secuela, y por si no lo sabían también son los encargados detrás de South Park: la vara de la verdad; juego con el que un servidor se llevo una de las mejores experiencias y diversión en un RPG
    y aquí repetimos dosis, ya que el ultimo proyecto de este desarrollador tan apasionado por lo que hace no decepciona, ni de lejos.
    Empecemos dejando algo en claro, esta juego no tiene la mas mínima intención de inovar o traer cosas nuevas a la ecuación que hace un shooter RPG, sino mas bien hacer un doctorado en lo que estos chicos y chicas ya tienen dominado, y lo hacen de forma maravillosa

    Hablemos de construcción de personaje: Parte esencial de todo RPG (como de su contratarte en el papel) es la construcción de personaje que usaremos a lo largo de nuestra aventura, en este apartado Obsidian lo hace de forma excelsa y grata al darnos cuenta que no abandonan el sistema de puntos y progresión de habilidades que nos entregaron en su participación en Fallout, dándonos un abanico de opciones bastante amplio a escoger en cuanto a nuestro personaje, abanico que conforme van subiendo los niveles se abre mas y mas.

    Los ambientes que nos plantea el juego son lo suficientemente variados para mantenernos interesados en saber que hay un poquito mas aya, aunque esta vez optan por un mapa estelar dividido en zonas en lugar de un gran mapa unico, lo cual, pienso yo, no es ni bueno ni malo, solo diferente, ls gama de personajes es variada, pero con sus limitaciones, me sorprende que la tendencia actual de grupos sociales impregnara un juego de obsidian, siendo muy marcado en el hecho de que la gran mayoria de personajes femeninos son muy genéricos, siempre de pelo corto, de igual manera me choca un poquito el hecho de que el juego no tiene intenciones de desarollar ningún tipo de trama amorosa o de relación con ninguno de los acompañantes, pero se ta todo el tiempo de la colonia a desarrollar una relación entre una de las tripulantes y una ingeniera, me parece un poco incongruente por ese lado.

    Los acompañantes que podemos tener son de lo mas variopintos, dándonos a escoger a quien nos caiga mejor, con quien tengamos mejor sinergia, o que potencie alguna característica que necesitemos

    La historia es interesante, graciosa, picante y a veces hasta un poco sosa, mezcla en un rico licuado, comedia, aventura e intriga

    Algo a destacar es que desde el día 1 de su lanzamiento esta disponible en el servicio de MIcrosoft "Game pass" esto gracias a la reciente incorporación de Obsidian a la cartera de desarolladores de Microsoft Game Studios, esperemos que sigan subiendo el nivel con los presupuestos que maneja Microsoft y puedan entregarnos excelentes juegos con su nueva chapita de Microsoft Game Studios

    En conclusión: The Outter Worlds cumple bastante bien con una expectativa que teníamos ya de por si muy arriba, se doctoran en shooter RPG y nos deja con un gran sabor de boca después de invertirle mas de 35 horas de juego    … 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.
