    The Outer Worlds is a breath of fresh air, considering most if not all of my life long favorite singleplayer RPGs have taken a back seat to more profitable online games. It's possible to spend countless hours completing side quests, exploring cities and environments, talking to NPC's, etc. This game is everything we wanted fallout 4 to be.

    Obsidian fa capire a Bethesda come si sviluppa un titolo! Outer Worlds prende spunto da fallout e Mass effect portando divertimento e tutti gli elementi di un GdR vero!
    Imperdibile! Un piccolo capolavoro che spero dia il via ad una saga epica!

    So far only about 5 hours in and I am blown away. Great RPG with really good dialogue and branching choices. Choices are also not black and white but rather border on the grey nature of making moral choices where there is no clear right and wrong.

    Cons: Lip syncing is off at points and frame rate drops of at times and gets stuttery.

    All that to say, there are not enough cons to make me think that this game is anything short of a masterful return to the RPG genre that we all know and love.    … Expand

    BUT (and it's a big but) the game fälls short because it is too short. I got the impression of this being a similar game to previous Fallout-games. You know, a massive world with interesting quests and characters. But it's built up by small worlds in a lager picture.

    Characters and quests are awesome, don't get me wrong. But it's disappointingly short in length and to small in scale. And a game breaking bug at the very last quest was a major let down for me.    … Expand

    This game feels like a mix of Kotor2, Fallout New Vegas with a touch of Bioshock. It is a true call back to a era of video games long gone and it really feels good to be back. If you are a Fallout fan or a fan of any of Obsidians previous titles then this is for you.

    This game is also on XBOX GAME PASS so if you don't want to risk full price then they have you covered.

    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. The dialog choices you make, really matter.

    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.

    The Outer World's best feature easily has to be the dialogue system. The amount of dialogue options you can pick is huge, allowing the quest-line to branch off into many different directions.

They have their own unique abilities for combat that shows a cut-scene when you activate it.

    For me the games art style, story, and characters seem extremely boring and forgettable. The art style is extremely bland and its seems to want to copy Fallout's art style instead of creating its own. I know that the developers over at Obsidian created some of the first Fallout games but why not create your own setting instead of attempting to somewhat replicate your old setting?
    The story consists of uninteresting factions that you really have no trouble making friends with. Every company in the game is almost the same and they really missed out on making the non-company factions (Iconoclasts, Groundbreaker, and Sublight) more unique.

    The characters and story bored me so much I struggled so much to just finish this game. I cant say this game is bad even with all of my complaints just because of how deep the dialogue system is and the branching quest-line.

    If you are thinking about getting this game I highly recommend getting it on the Xbox Game Pass which is only 15$ per month and on both Xbox and PC. If you don't like it, you have hundreds of other games you can try out.    … Expand

    Excellent game that is just the right length. The quests were fun and not grindy like most games. The postal service quest was particularly funny. It was nice that many of the quest choices overlapped and the devs actually made them work well together letting you play different styles.

    There weren't really a lot of different enemy types but since the areas weren't huge this was OK.    Excellent game that is just the right length.

    There weren't really a lot of different enemy types but since the areas weren't huge this was OK. Later in the game you were a god anyway even against bosses. But there isn't a lot of depth to the combat either. You either stealth kill someone, run past them or just start shooting at each other until somebody dies.

    The leveling system is OK and it is good that you max out close to the end of the game rather than the middle like other games. The flaws were an interesting concept but they weren't really worth the cost. The perks that are available are mostly useless so taking a flaw to get a perk point when you don't really need any perks is pointless. If the perks would have been useful then this could have been a great system.

    The NPC interactions were great and covered a lot of topics. Unfortunately the companions were pretty much set in stone and nothing you did would impact them or their quests beyond some conversations. But that is OK because it still worked.

    One of the biggest complaints I have against the game is the need to map out exactly what you need to do in order to unlock all the achievements. If you aren't careful you can end up having to play through multiple times because you missed some random option earlier in the game. Checklists for achievements is never a good thing.

    I'm also a little frustrated with the difficulty balancing. There is easy and hard and not much in between. Trying to play through supernova now and it is brutal. Forced survival aspects on top of enemies who (early on) kill with a couple of hits but take a massive amount of damage in return makes playing "any style" difficult. You basically either need to run past everything or become a tank. Since points are spread thin you can't do both. It would have been nice if there was some more balancing in the middle difficulty range and/or letting supernova have some options you could turn off. I personally hate survival mechanics so combining this with running everywhere is just not that fun.

    Overall you can clearly see Fallout in this game from the outfits being worn to the TTD. There aren't mutants and the world is overly colored but the scenes of destruction are still there. This is a really good game and I'm glad they are making some DLC. I just hope they increase the level cap or something so the DLC is worth more than just the story.    … Expand

    All of your common Western RPG elements are here, done in the best way possible. It's a VERY familiar game, ESPECIALLY if you've played Fallout 3 or New Vegas.
    The graphics are cute, the performance is good (albeit a few hiccups), the quests are entertaining, the shooting mechanics works fine and the progression system functions like it should.
    But the thing that makes this conventional game shine among its peers is the writing!
    The story is great! It won't blow your mind, but it will convince you!
    I got invested in my character, in my crew, in the colony, the state of each world, each long and short quest, the role I played in the tale and in the witty dialogue. Just talking with people and deciding my lines got me super pumped because it's all so clever and very well done. The Outer Worlds has this magic that made me care for the things I said, did and its consequences. Few games like that made me feel this way, while still making me laugh.

    The game isn't roses all the way through, though.
    Despite its amazing storytelling, the ending is abrupt and anticlimatic. I liked what was written in the aftermath, but it was poorly handled.
    Some parts of the gameplay felt dated. For example, melee combat is suicidal and impractical. MANY items you pick are useless and VERY repetitive. After a while, looting becomes boring and unnecessary, especially once you get to higher levels or close to the endgame.
    And I get that the game is a FPS, but then... what's the use of creating and decorating your charachter?
    Also, **** Monarch! That place is dull as hell!

    I totally recommend this game, but I can see why people wouldn't think much of it. I loved it and I think you should try. That might scratch your Fallout itch for a while, at least...    … Expand

It is everything you could possibly hope this genre of video game would be and a ton load more added in just as a bonus - out of the collective goodness of Obsidian's heart.

    This gem! From the creator of the fan favourite Fallout New Vegas, Obsidian is once again showing Bethesda how it's REALLY done - (to the point of dishing out a huge dose of abject humiliation in the process in this particular case)

    Compare The Outer Worlds to the broken mess that was and still is Fallout 76, with its over priced micro transactions and utterly disgraceful, borderline criminal (imo) Subscription "Service." Bethesda (probably being forced to by its owner Zenimax to do so) have turned their sheer greed and audacity up to 11 and have just gone straight for the "desperate cash grab" strategy aimed directly (and ruthlessly) at the few players that actually stuck with their half finished rubbish. That's what fan loyalty got them! Nice!

    Anyway, compare that dumpster fire atrocity of a game with this. Night and Day only begins to illustrate the point.

    That said, we do now have to anxiously wait to see if Take 2 interactive decides to introduce micro transactions into the outer worlds and break all of our hearts in doing so. Please T2I. Just Nooooo!

On the other hand it 's 25-30 hours of gameplay, a couple of small locations and few quests.

There 's also Obsidian 's branded gameplay and a bit of Mass Effect and a bit of stimpank. I very much hope that there will be a 2 part in which developers will have their hands unleashed and they will be able to make a masterpiece. The Outer Worlds kills Fallout and Mass Effect, who are clearly going through not the best time. In the shortcomings I can only write down the visual style, some planets are made to acidic colors.… Expand

    Le dégré de finition est d’ailleurs assez étonnant de leur part… et à part un ou deux détails, aucun gros bug à signaler… sauf vers la fin justement avec un gros plantage des familles : une porte s’ouvre, le « personnage non-joueur » est là avec ses gardes et… un beau, un magnifique CTD (crash to desk ou dashboard) ! heureusement, au lieu d’avancer et de déclencher le script foireux, il suffit d’ouvrir le feu et de zigouiller tout le monde et on peut continuer sans problème…

    Je me disais aussi, Obsidian reste Obsidian après tout… mais on constate de gros progrès néanmoins depuis… un certain New Vegas à cet égard. Quoi qu’il en soit, s’il ne s’agit pas d’un monde ouvert, les diverses zones sont fort sympathiques et une certaine liberté d’action demeure, notamment au niveau des choix, lesquels sont encore augmentés si vous avez la langue bien pendue via les compétences adéquates.

    Le combat n’est cependant pas extraordinaire et fait à peine le boulot, pour ne pas dire pire ; l’interface se révèle plutôt efficace, la musique est agréable mais les voix sont restées en anglais uniquement. L’infiltration est un peu à la masse par contre… pour ne pas dire assez mauvaise. En vérité, le souci majeur de ce petit jeu de rôle (une trentaine d’heures grosso merdo) réside dans son univers lui-même : c’est en effet très conventionnel et souvent fort mal écrit…

    C’est que sous son humour sans nuances, pour ne pas dire souvent stupide, sous ses airs de dénonciation des corporations omnipotentes et cyniques, se cache un agenda de justice sociale aussi limité que simplet. Le fait qu’on puisse se comporter comme un salaud ne change pas vraiment la donne : le jeu n’est de toute façon pas assez sérieux pour se montrer crédible sur quelque sujet que ce soit.

    Il n’est pas assez mordant non plus et fait penser à des blagues de collégiens rebelles et faussement désabusés : une caricature désoeuvrée de leur travail sur Fallout New Vegas en somme. En outre, si le jeu est assurément très joli, son allure steampunk est des plus désagréables. Voilà qui est décevant de la part d’Obsidian et décidément peu inspiré : les compagnons dans le jeu peuvent en témoigner, eux qui sont des baudruches bourrées de poncifs, génériques et façonnées selon les lois de la diversité et de l’inclusivité.

    Par ailleurs, la trame principale est un peu faiblarde et insuffisamment développée… L’ensemble qui semblait prometteur reste trop léger et manque singulièrement de maturité.    … Expand

    Perhaps investing in an exernal SSD for the X could be a possibility??

    What TOW does well, it does quite well indeed but there is too much dragging the game down to really give it much higher than a 7 out of 10.

    There is a good sense of intrigue in the first 5 hours or so but that soon dissapates as the quests become samey and frankly the game just never challenges you enough on the default difficulty for anything to really seem too frantic or important.    What TOW does well, it does quite well indeed but there is too much dragging the game down to really give it much higher than a 7 out of 10.

    There is a good sense of intrigue in the first 5 hours or so but that soon dissapates as the quests become samey and frankly the game just never challenges you enough on the default difficulty for anything to really seem too frantic or important. Early on in the game my character and companions were so overpowered that nothing really seemed too much of consequence. At one point I managed to aggravate the biggest faction in the biggest city in the game to the point where they started shooting on site. In something else this would be deadly or something I'd have to work around but I simply slaughtered everything in my path and robbed the shops of whoever was dumb enough to shoot at me. The basic grunts are cannon fodder very early on and even by the mid point the biggest versions of the creatures you face are merely an irritation than a threat.

    There is also little in the way of value to weapons and armor. There is no kIller weapon to find here. There are unique weapons but they don't really offer much more than the regular ones. In fact I used basically the same basic rifle for most of the game and with a few cheap upgrades it was slaughtering basically everything in my path. My companions, similarly given upgraded weapons, were also easily transformed into killing machines. As such nothing really threatened to kill me from start to finish unless I really wasn't paying attention.

    I do like a lot about this game. It has a solid, inventive idea for a story. Its dialogue is at times very funny and well fleshed out. There is a genuine sense of exploration and adventure in the beginning of the game where the visual design really gets across you being a stranger in a strange land. But by hour 10 you realize most of the planets are quite similar and nothing can really hurt you in any of them. I frequently didn't allocate skill points when I levelled up because I felt too overpowered. I rarely used the time slow down because I didn't need to. I rarely healed because nothing really hurt me enough to need to.

    The biggest problem it really has is its simplicity. You don't really need to know anything about the game mechanics to be unstoppable in this game. You just equip the highest damage weapon, the high defense rated armour and you waltz through the game killing anything dumb enough to attack you. As such the dialogue choices become less weighted because you know really if the worst came to worst you could just slaughter the entire city with minimal effort.

    So it isn't a deep dive RPG, that isn't the end of the world. The plot carries this game most of the way but the abrupt ending after around 24 hours for me (with a fair amount of side plot work in there too) just seemed to suggest that they had a good basis for a game but couldn't quite turn it into something special. There is nothing wrong with what is here. It entertained me for the time I played it, the plot intrigued me enough to finish it but at the end of the story you start to wonder really how much difference anything you did made. |n my ending nobody really died because of what I did, nothing really unexpected occurred because of my choices.

    Also with the wide amount of backtracking and moving to and from planets that the game has you doing you find yourself spending a lot of time looking at loading screens that seem a bit longer than you would expect from this modern generation of gaming. You can receive a quest from point a that need you to go through a loading screen to get onto your ship and travel to point b, then a loading screen to get off the ship and onto point b. Once at point b you need to go into a building that requires another loading screen to get in/out of. Once over you have another 2 loads to travel back to turn it in. It loads far too often and for too long.

    Ultimately TOW never really delivers on its initial promise. The world map at first glance seems expansive and deep but most planets are just small maps that do not vary a great deal. The great amount of choices you have to make adds intrigue but you realize long before you finish that they aren't making a massive difference to the game world. Yeah there are unique weapons in the world but do you really need it when your run of the mill rifle is slaying everything with ease? Do you really need to allocate all of those perks you've unlocked when nothing is challenging you anyway?

    By the time it suddenly ends you're left with a sense that this could have been much more than it was. It just never really grows from there is any way; it never gets any tougher and the decisions don't have any more consequence. It's worthy of your time and I would imagine you will enjoy your time with it but ultimately it feels like a little bit of a letdown from the initial experience of the first few hours of playing.    … Expand

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Outer Worlds is among the most uninspired games to come out in the 2010's. After 38 hours of playing and dealing with the drivel that is this game's forgettable main and side quests, I can certainly say that this game is but a soulless husk of a game that can only be described as nothing more than mediocre. The story centers around reviving the colonists of The Hope, which you were amongst before being revived. After being released into Edgewater you are shown the lackluster speech checks which will often be at values spanning from 1-60. Yes, there are checks at the value of 1. Apart from just maxing out the skills to get the bonuses there is little reason to actually max out any of the speech skills, I had 100+ persuasion from companion perks (base of 68) and not once did I ever see any speech options that exceeded 60.

    While traveling through Edgewater you get a taste of the poor excuse of the corporate dystopia the game is trying to have a satirical take on, but every time it devolves into "corporations are stupid." The game beats you over the head constantly with this "joke" that it started making me question just how a revolt hadn't happened yet, after what, ~50 years, no one had actually tried to over throw the board? The game seriously believes that I'll accept that there isn't any noticable unrest? But anyways we were talking about Edgewater, which is a small town that is dying out due to starvation, malnutrition, and a plague. Nearly all these issues wouldn't be a thing if it wasn't built upon volcanic rock. Because volcanos are a great place to settle down next to.

    At Edgewater you're given the task to find a power source for your ship, which you can find two of, one at Edgewater and the other at a botanical garden. But because player freedom is nigh non-existent you are railroaded into doing a quest to reroute power from one settlement to the other. Only afterwards you can actually take the drained town's power source.

    Edgewater is generally considered the best part of the game due to it having choices between factions and being a fairly balanced location. Afterwards however you will only find one other location with any similar depth, that being Monarch, and it's completely optional.

    Apart from Edgewater and Monarch the other locations are fairly lackluster. There is Scylla which is just a failed terraforming location filled with annoying primals to fight and nothing else. The section of Terra 2 with the Auntie Cleo's research settlement is an optional location where you can obtain some science projects to sell for money and not much else. The Groundbreaker is a colorful place full of stores and has a couple of quests that'll have you do some running around and not much else. You can betray Dr. Weales here as well, but other than the prospect of bits (the game's currency) there is no reason that anyone would do it other than out of curiosity. Though the corpo side of TOW is much the same as the normal side of the story. You are also able to do some quests for a psychopath who is the CEO of a salvage network who sends you to murder an innocent woman who is trying to save the entire colony from starvation, and the game can railroad you into murdering her as even if you allow the woman to live her guards will attack you and she, for some stupid reason, will attack you completely negating your choice in the matter.

    The only other location you can explore is Byzantium, which is where a then rich live and everything you do here, be it sneaking through, or going in guns blazing and executing everyone in the streets and the colony's minister, will have no consequences. You can commit political assassination and terrorism and nothing will happen. No matter how awful you act towards the board you will never actually be harrassed by them and apart from increased prices from vendors and guards attacking you there is no reason to even be worried about having low reputation with the various factions unless it is something like MSI or the Iconaclasts if you want to deal with their fued on Monarch.

    The game then finishes with a Fallout style slide show where nearly all the slides depend on who you chose to ally with and makes nearly no mention of the many choices you made throughout the game apart from the fates of companions, Edgewater's fate, and the fate of MSI and the Iconaclasts. Only 3 choices dictate nearly all the slides in the ending.

    In conclusion The Outer Worlds is a soulless game with conflicting messages from how the game acts. The game focuses on dialogue, but ends with a shoot out. Only three of your choices matter in the ending, but none of them actually affect the world while you play it. With a price tag of $60 you would be better off spending your money on a game that is more deserving and worth your time. Mayhap when the DLC is released the game will actually amount to something, but a game shouldn't rely on its DLC to actually be good.    … Expand

While there were a good amount of them, one could probably finish them all within a days time, same with the main quest. It was all generally short and no real amount of long lasting fun.

    Jogo bom em todos os aspectos o "Fallout de Taubaté", tem boas horas de diversão mesmo não sendo uma grande produção.

    Nearly perfect RPG akin to Fallout 3/New Vegas. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys cool locales, great mechanics, and story driven but still an open world.

    Outer Worlds would've been great game on Xbox 360. But on this gen, its just rather short, limited and last gen.
    There is good in it too; Character progression, skill sets and relationships between characters are very well done. And looting is fun and plentiful. Good missions too.
    But its all very short lived fun really, in rather drab locations.

    Una de las cosas que no me gustaron es que al ser solo en primera persona, el poder personalizar el personaje pierde sentido.

    This has to be one of the best new games I've play in a long time it almost seems as though single player games are going extinct in favor of the online only experience and the fact that this game came out and it's single player only has so much to do characters have so much personality is really nice to see I 100% recommend this to anybody that likes these types of games and I hope to seeThis has to be one of the best new games I've play in a long time it almost seems as though single player games are going extinct in favor of the online only experience and the fact that this game came out and it's single player only has so much to do characters have so much personality is really nice to see I 100% recommend this to anybody that likes these types of games and I hope to see this game live on for a long time… Expand

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

    A pretty decent RPG that I’m glad I played through but I’m also glad wasn’t any longer.

    Combat in this game is mixed, on one hand the guns feel satisfying and fun at first but by the end of the game was far too easy and the combat got repetitive. This was the primary reason why when nearing the end of the game I gave up on all side quests and rushed through the main story.

This was the primary reason why when nearing the end of the game I gave up on all side quests and rushed through the main story. I think the game could have done with less level scaling with weapons and armour and more customisation of these things.

    The worlds in this game are well made, interesting and all different enough from one another to stay fresh.

    The story was good enough to keep my attention for the duration of the game and the characters were well written, all differing from each other.

    The game poses you with some interesting moral dilemmas, these are done better than your average RPG but not as good as Fallout New Vegas. But I would still consider this area to be one of the strengths to the game.

    Overall I think this game could have been an excellent RPG but is let down by its combat systems in the end.    … Expand

    Great, fun, First person action RPG. Great story, simple mechanics, difficult menus. A great and faithfull successor to Fallout. Available on Gamepass. If you know Fallout or RPGs "The Outer Worlds" is a must play. If your looking for something fun "The Outer Worlds" is worth trying.

    Gott, ich liebe The Outer Worlds! Was für ein geiles Game. Damals als das Spiel erschienen ist, habe ich es überhaupt nicht wahrgenommen. Dank des Game Pass´ habe ich es einfach mal ausprobiert, da ich neuerdings ein sehr großer Fan (PoE) von Obsidian bin. Das Spiel macht in jeder Hinsicht super viel spaß.

    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.
