The Outer Worlds Reviews
With relevant and humorous commentary on corporate greed and bureaucracy underpinning this smaller scale but highly replayable new IP, The Outer Worlds excels as a Fallout-style RPG thanks to great writing, interesting choices and memorable characters.
For the first ten hours or so I thought that The Outer Worlds would become a game of the year contender. Unfortunately it ultimately proves itself to be a little too shallow for that, but the combination of stunning vistas, excellent party members, and entertaining gunplay make it much like the 70's and 80's science fiction that it's clearly inspired by: A lot of fun when you're looking to switch the brain off and just unwind.
Obsidian excelled in creating an amazing RPG experience influenced by the design of the Fallout franchise. The developer chose a safe route and picked familiar ideas and basics instead of creating a whole new experience. I recommend this game as the perfect WRPG gateway for new players to learn what can this genre offer to them.

The Outer Worlds is a thinking-man's Fallout 4. While Bethesda failed to push its venerable RPG series into a more thoughtful direction, Obsidian Entertainment thankfully is still around to show them how it is done.
Obsidian did a good job again. However this is not the best Obsiadian game. A bit short, but still so much fun.

The Outer Worlds is much more than the sum of its parts. With incredible storytelling and scripting and a well-crafted universe, TOW exceeds genre expectations by delivering meaningful, humorous dialogue decisions, while not forgetting the relationship between the player and the characters. In a first person RPG that is above its competitors' current level, despite a smaller team and budget, it proves that attention to detail and a passion for what is being done bring excellent results.

The Outer Worlds is the spiritual successor to Fallout New Vegas, and Obsidian made every effort to upgrade it in almost every aspect. The final result is a solid RPG that must be played by any fan of the genre.

The Outer Worlds is a creative, fresh and deep game and another successful title in Obsidian Entertainment resume. It's the embodiment of almost everything we wanted to see, from the multi layer story, to the satisfying and exciting combat. The Outer Worlds is a must-buy for any action RPG fan out there.

The Outer Worlds is a goofy, full to the brim RPG that liberally samples from other giants in the genre. It's a fun romp through a neon universe.
Having the game take place in space opens up the future of the franchise to a wealth of sequels. If Obsidian plays its cards right, we might be witnessing the birth of a great franchise. There is no doubt The Outer Worlds is almost a masterpiece. Sure, it could use some work here and there, but it's a perfect delivery system for the hungry human imagination that longs for the stars.
While there is nothing completely mindbreaking about The Outer Worlds, the game is just what the doctor ordered. An updated addition to this whacky genre of RPG. Finally, we can stop replaying decades-old games and get some fresh content!
Is a better Fallout than the actual Fallout.

The Outer Worlds soars on the strength of its characterisation not only of the main crew but its supporting cast.
With The Outer Worlds, Obsidian delivers a worthy entry into the RPG genre with a fun script and good direction. While the scope of the game is shorter than in appears, character development and decision-making guarantee a solid experience, despite some polishing issues.

The Outer Worlds is an excellent attempt at capturing the Fallout formula in a new setting. It's honest about what it's trying to be, and it never shies away from it. While it may lack the sheer size of Bethesda's behemoth, The Outer Worlds still captures the fun and enjoyment of exploring, completing quests, finding new loot, and being a futuristic adventurer. Anyone who enjoyed the previous-generation Fallouts or is looking for a solid RPG will find a lot to like in The Outer Worlds.
The Outer Worlds has quickly cemented it's place as one of the best RPGs of the current generation. Excellent combat, exploration that never gets stale, characters that never grow old, stories and events that hide endless secrets…The Outer Worlds is simply fantastic.
The Outer Worlds has everything Obsidian is known for: well-crafted world, interesting characters and rich nonlinear storytelling.

Put the essence of the Fallout, Mass Effect and Borderlands series into a blender, and what you get is The Outer Worlds.
In the end, The Outer Worlds has flaws that need to be addressed by its developers in potential sequels but I still had an absolute blast with it.
Before fully getting into why I think this is an excellent title, and a breath of fresh air I’ve been needing on Switch, we’ll get to the elephant in the room...
