  • With The Outer Worlds, Obsidian has found its own path in the space between Bethesda and BioWare's RPGs, and it's a great one.
  • The Outer Worlds marks Obsidian operating at the top of its game, and a strong foundation for a new franchise that seems destined for greatness.
  • A deep, funny, and intricately designed RPG reminiscent of the golden age of Fallout, when conversations mattered and comedy-grade cynicism came fitted as standard.
  • Finding your way through (or around) various problems is fun, and a streak of silly humor keeps the tone light enough to counterbalance the darker themes
  • Classic RPG sensibilities enhance wonderful characters, punchy combat, and consistently excellent writing in this sharp space Western.
  • There's a category of games I think of as Saturday morning cartoon games. They lack depth, but they are fluffy and easy to enjoy. As I look back on some screenshots as Pippin laser blasts a poor marauder into a pile of dust, I realise that's what The Outer Worlds is to me. If you meet it on those terms, I think you'll enjoy it.
  • Obsidian has pulled off the delicate task of creating an RPG that feels big while still keeping control of the overall scope of the game itself.
  • The Outer Worlds is so impactful that it made me question and ultimately settle more thoughtfully into my beliefs.
  • The Outer Worlds shines in the writing, but the combat doesn't equally rise to the occasion
  • Despite some nominal issues that might be easier for some to hand-wave than others, Obsidian has out-Fallouted recent Fallout efforts. The Outer Worlds is more limited from a size standpoint compared to a lot of other open world adventures, but it makes up for it in charm and a succinct vision without much bloat.
  • The Outer Worlds is the game that fans have wanted Obsidian Entertainment to make for the better part of a decade. The story is the main attraction here, with Obsidian's witty writing coming to the fore in an interesting and funny interstellar setting. If that's what you look for in your RPGs, The Outer Worlds will not disappoint.
  • It’s a fine game under any circumstances, but it’s a top-notch RPG with heavy consequences at almost every turn for those that are willing to immerse themselves. The Outer Worlds doesn’t tell you a story, it gives you a world full of interesting characters and asks you to tell your own.

 

Amazing as expected. :dance:

THE GOOD

  •  Excellent writing through and through
  •  Strong, multi-dimensional characters are well-portrayed
  •  Consistently interesting and layered quest design
  •  Strong world-building enhanced by a pleasing audiovisual direction
  •  Combat is punchy and satisfying

THE BAD

  •  Enemy encounters are a cakewalk on regular difficulty, and won't push you to make the most of the game's various systems
  •  Inventory menus can be difficult to parse

Great reviews. MS finally got new solid IP for their ecosystem.

 

 

Outerworld 2 will definitely get green light from MS.

Obsidian is already working on a 1st person new AAA Ip, but ya outer world 2 could be green lit also.

It's a 3 team studio

Is this Microsoft exclusive?

Obsidian owned by MS now and so as Outetworld IP.  Outerworld 2 will be MS exclusive only. This one is not exclusive coz publishing deal was signed between 2k and Obsidian before MS acquired Obsidian. MS decided to honor the deal and allowed game to be released on ps4 on condition that game will be available day one in GP.

 

Outerwold is available day one on Game pass

So anyone started playing it yet?

I have it downloaded but I think I'll start once I'm done with Disco Elysium.

The Outer Worlds is a brilliant game. It IS fallout with updated gameplay, graphics and everything. It's not fallout meets any other game. This is what fallout 4 should've been. It's a wonder that it's free
