The Outer Worlds Reviews
The Outer Worlds is a great game, one of the best from last year. The problem is that we are facing a port that does not do justice to the game.

Is this the best version of The Outer Worlds out there? No. Should this be the version for you to consider purchasing in case you have never played this game before? Absofreakinglutely not. Is is still a fantastic RPG with one of the best plots and characters in recent memory? Without a shadow of a doubt.
The Outer Worlds remains a memorable experience on Switch, but, at the same time, it’s all a bit of a blur.
It hurts me to say this, but I simply cannot recommend buying The Outer Worlds’ Switch port at present.
Obsidian has returned through the big door with a game that satisfies those who wanted more first-person RPGs. They have created a whole rich and attractive universe that has a huge charisma and exploration everywhere. The role-playing part is very well accomplished and allows us to create a huge variety of builds to suit our favorite game style. Don't hesitate to give it a try because it doesn't disappoint.

The Outer Worlds does a good job at filling the gap left by the Fallout series after its recent controversies. The game shines in its roleplay and dialogue. I loved every second I spent on Halycon, but I can't help but feel that there's an untapped potential the developers could've put more time into. Hopefully a possible sequel should raise the quality of many of its aspects, especially the narrative and combat.

The Outer Worlds (TOW) is an RPG shooting game where the story REALLY matters. Half of the game you are shooting and the other half talking to NPCs to make moral decisions. Actually, forget that... There is no RIGHT or WRONG way to play TOW. You can do anything, kill anyone. You can do zero talking and shoot everyone at sight or be diplomatic and try to complete the game with zero kills. It's all up to you! To add more variables to the complexity of the “FREE WILL", the game has companions, an entire RPG module (attributes, aptitudes, skills, and perks) and a variety of armors, weapons, mods, and items. All of which, when well combined makes every choice easier.
The Outer Worlds has birthed what could be a remarkable initiation into an incredible franchise for years to come, and could very well be Obsidian’s Renaissance piece, finally separating itself from a tired franchise that has seen better days in the Fallout series. The Outer Worlds is truly one of the best video games of 2019, and could very well be it’s Game of the Year.
The Outer Worlds is an excellent RPG, that despite the limited budget and some minor gameplay flaws, manages to shine with its stellar writing and great characters. I simply cannot wait for the inevitable sequel!

The Outer Worlds is one of the most ambitious indie projects ever, but somehow it feels very humane. Be it for its lovely characters, its surprisingly consistent universe or its tiny time-saving options, it's possible to see, at all times, the humanity behind this game. Because of that, it's an experience I recommend with all my heart.

It’s not the kind of game to stand the test of time and Obsidian has made much better and more interesting games in the past, but there is a pleasant experience to be had.
The Outer Worlds does a good job at taking the older Fallout formula and bringing it to a new generation of consoles. Unfortunately, it doesn't do much beyond that, leaving the game feeling uninspired and familiar.
What The Outer Worlds offers in artistic creativity, it lacks in quest diversity. Exploring the colony is really exciting and you will lose yourself in everything it has to offer. unfortunately, you will end up performing a lot of the same menial tasks throughout the relatively short campaign. You have access to an incredible world but the quests never take full advantage of it. There is far too much focus on the political problems of the colony and not enough action and adventure. You never feel like the hero of the story, you feel more like the middle man between the people that are actually important.
Obsidian Entertainment is making a flight of fancy with the role-playing game The Outer Worlds, which Bethesda was denied last year. Despite the strongly linear structures and the half-open, lifeless areas, The Outer Worlds indisputably follows in the big AAA footsteps of the Fallout franchise without embarrassing itself. Thanks to the great variance of decision possibilities and the deeply rooted moral system, the American studio also enhances the marginal complexity behind the role-playing construct, which above all benefits the narrative with its humorous touch and entertaining social criticism. Obsidian Entertainment simply relies on the player as an unforeseen variable to counter repetitive influences. With the versatile solutions and the opaque moral component, the Fallout New Vegas developer finally gives Bethesda instructions on how to pull up the controls of a crashing plane.

The Outer Worlds is a devotedly single-player experience where player choice, witty dialogue, detailed worlds and interesting characters are paramount and may be Obsidian Entertainment’s magnum opus.
Obsidian is outdone. If you love RPGs, play it. Many say it's the "copy of Fallout New Vegas", let him do the meme and don't care about them, the experience is fundamentally different and sometimes deeper. The Outer Worlds is a game with a refined humor and never invasive or "cringe". Several ethical and moral themes will be touched on and it's up to you to decide the fate of entire worlds. If the title had a higher budget I would have been forced to give it an 8.5, considering instead the work of the Californian team that is certainly not famous for pharaonic figures behind the development a 9 is more than deserved. Thanks for letting me rediscover the beauty of RPGs, not one that was so beautiful for too long.

If you enjoy deep engaging stories and strong RPG elements or science fiction. I completely recommend the Outer Worlds, as it is more than Fallout in Outer Space.
Despite having quite a few flaws, the game still stands out in the RPG genre, with the game's writing being instrumental in getting it there.
