The Outer Worlds Reviews
The Outer Worlds isn’t reinventing the RPG wheel here, but it is an incredibly fun world to explore and sink countless hours into.
It took a decade, but we finally have the successor to Fallout: New Vegas we deserve.
The Outer Worlds is, in a word, breathtaking. The world is amazingly detailed, the script is full of humor and there's plenty to enjoy in the character development department. The truly important choices and consequences make The Outer Worlds one of the best RPGs of 2019.

If you’re a fan of games like Fallout or The Elder Scrolls, then The Outer Worlds is definitely for you. Even if not, the Halcyon system is always welcoming new recruits to start their space cowboy journey.
Obsidian has nailed it again with another stellar RPG. While by no means a perfect game, The Outer Worlds successfully brings back the glory days of the traditional western RPG, blending story and gameplay quite beautifully together, without really compromising each other.
The Outer Worlds is an unexpected surprise hit that has been far too quietly announced for its quality. The background story is excellent and the ability to solve different solutions is extremely well implemented. Although there is still a lot of room for improvement in damage physics around the area, a ball orgy should not be the title anyway. We like the soundtrack very well, even if the German dubbing is painfully missed. Thus, the title is always a look and worth a purchase, at least to wait until the next "right" Fallout title to bridge.

There’s no denying that The Outer Worlds bears the imprint of earlier Obsidian games and a number of other timeless RPGs as well, but those influences do little to diminish the accomplishment of some amazing worldbuilding, entertaining storytelling and brilliantly realized characters.
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.

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 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.

I knew very early on that I would like the game. By the end, I knew that I loved it, and I am already imagining my trip back through The Outer Worlds, and that is something that only truly special games can do.
It’s no surprise that this sci-fi tale of corporation culture gone horribly wrong and overblown to planet-sized proportions (figuratively AND literally) would end up being relevant in this day and age thanks to the team’s witticisms in their script-writing and world-building. But to be told in an engrossing manner with so many charming players and a fun RPG setting, while also showing other Western RPG companies how it’s really done? That’s just as rare as a supernova going off. Thank goodness Obsidian took to the challenge and delivered us a masterpiece that rivals their past works.
Obsidian Entertainment has created a hefty laundry list of RPGs, and it's noticeable that they've learned from previous titles. For example, fans of Fallout: New Vegas will see a lot of elements return, and as far as we're concerned, that's a good thing. The game offers an extensive main story that will keep you sweet for 25 to 30 hours, lots of side missions with countless choices and delicious black humor. The amount of planets could only be a little bigger as far as we're concerned and the combat feels a bit clunky at times, but that shouldn't spoil the fun. The Outer Worlds is Obsidian Entertainment's best RPG to date.

The Outer Worlds may be a bit rough at times but its unique take on a dystopian future combined with stinging humor and excellently crafted dialog create an RPG that is a great sign of things to come.
The Outer Worlds is an RPG delight. Obsidian have honed what they’re great at and delivered a game with a gripping story, interesting universe and well developed characters. Even after completing the game, I still want to spend more time in The Outer Worlds and am hoping for further DLC or even a sequel in the future.
An excellent adventure that mixes all the good stuff by Obsidian Entertainment, although it's not as big as some other contestants in the genre.

A great return to the mainstream scene from Obsidian, with the proper New Vegas spiritual heir that we've all been waiting.

In conclusion, The Outer Worlds was a terrific experience. I loved every moment I was playing of the game and I felt like this alien frontier I had landed on, was not too dissimilar from the Wild West.
