    Yes, as an intermediate snack a good role-playing game which goes easily off the hand and also looks good. I get it via the XBox Gamepass and that's another plus.
    Therefore, any Fallout fan can access without being disappointed, as with Fallout 76.

    it is a great game overall. The dialogue for the characters you encounter are very well done, funny and fun, and with all of the options which you decide for yourself how to carry out the conversations- this game will be repeatable numerous times and just as enjoyable.

    The world itself is beautifully made- I wish there was a camera mode for players but aside from that wish honestly I expected the world to be less open and more along the lines of having paths that you basically follow along for the story but to my surprise it’s very open and the game encourages / rewards exploration.

    The combat mechanics feel good, and I like the diversity of weapons / builds you can make.

    I feel they nailed the character customization and stats build, along with allowing you to respec your character it leaves flexibility for you to test out different things and build towards your personal preferences. All in all, a very fun, very well put together game, which I see myself playing numerous times and taking different routes with my characters.    … Expand

    The gameplay is "ok", nothing far away from Fallout New Vegas, but the comparison end here, as an RPG lover, this game is amazing with a great story, great lore and nice dialogues, the missions are well connected between main and side quests, not like TES/Fallout where they throw a hundred of missions and you forget what that mission was about

    This is the game every RPG lover was looking to play. Make no mistake, Outer Worlds can stand on its own legs, which are pillars for an amazing RPG that is based on choice and consequences.

    This is how its done. It's not a high budget, state of the art graphics AAA game but it has been made with love and care. This is the game I have been waiting for Bethesda to make. The universe, atheistic and worlds are so well crafted. Its a love letter to fallout fans who miss the good old days. No bs microtransactions or lootboxes or **** like that. Just a good game. Hope to see dlc orThis is how its done. It's not a high budget, state of the art graphics AAA game but it has been made with love and care. This is the game I have been waiting for Bethesda to make.

    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.
