    Great upgrade from the original.

    I played Outer World when it had been launched back in 2019, and I must say that I liked it. I played it on my XBOXS console, but now I played it on my PC. The Spacer's Choice brings the game to its height, you got a vi... Read Full Review

    A boring and uninteresting follow-up to Fallout: New Vegas

    Obsidian Entertainment lit the world on fire with their game Fallout: New Vegas. Many considered it superior to Bethesda's own offering Fallout 3. The Outer Worlds was considered a spiritual successor to New Vegas. The ... Read Full Review

    Fallout without the soul of Fallout..

    Dull, boring, mindless missions are some of the thoughts I think about when I play The Outer Worlds. I hate to say it because I LOVE the Fallout games!! I got 100% achievements in Fallout 3 and have played all the rest. ... Read Full Review

    A Space Odyssey

    The Outer Worlds is a fun jaunt through outer space that only lasts about 25 hours, but compacts a ton of fun into those hours.Pros:-Great storyline. The world is morally gray and your choices literally impact the lives ... Read Full Review

    Very short, very dull game. Nothing new or exciting about Outer Worlds at all. Hugely disappointed.

    First and foremost: do NOT spend any more than $30 on this game. Wait til it's on PS Plus... seriously it's not worth any more than that.I really wanted to love this game b/c I have a penchant for outer space/SciFi theme... Read Full Review

    At first glance a good game , but far from being a successor to the Fallout Series!

    Imagine taking the storyline mechanics and equipment system of fallout, mixing it with the combat system of Bioshock and watering it down for the average player who has the attention span of a pigeon and you get the Oute... Read Full Review

    Not great but not bad either

    just now It's ok, I'd give it a 7. The graphics are ok but with games like Red Dead 2 and mk 11 setting the bar they could have been more polished. Spent 6 hours on it. You can slow down time but the VATS system was so ... Read Full Review

    The essential sci-fi game of the year

    This game was so much fun. I have hours into this now and am enjoying it a lot. The combat mechanics are good, I just wish it had a 3rd person view. The first person view is annoying and limiting. The world almost seems ... Read Full Review
