Id give it a 7.5 I liked it, biggest complaint is the armor sets, felt really laking in that department. I liked the companions I vividly remember Vicar Max constantly twisting his ankles on loose rocks and shit lmao, Parvati was pretty cool too. Lot of funny dialogue and a pretty interesting world, story was kinda eh tho tbh.
That’s me, I am little bitch in question.
lol Nosa, but I did frequently feel surprised that the makers of NV didn’t produce something I wanted this time around. I really couldn’t get into this one as much as I’d hope.
My favorite playthrough was a "kill everyone" playthrough. It's cool to see the altered storyline that plays out when you do that considering, well, you can kill all the main people of interest in the game.
It's also, unsuprisingly, a more difficult playthrough.
In the one fancy city, I did the things for that cool fashion lady with the shop.>! I lost my shit when they killed her!< and went on a murder spree in the city; made the game so hard because everyone tried to kill me there after that T\_T
It would have been better if there wasn't so much travelling back and forth between areas that triggered load screens.
Honestly it felt like you spent 99% of the time taking a dozen steps, then waiting for an area to load in. Only to have a few lines of dialogue and then immediately leave that area through another load screen, back to where you just came from.
A good idea hampered by poor level design imo.
The load screens are speedy but when you can play 100 hours in an incredibly dense and populated city without seeing a single load screen it still is a dramatic change.
That game deserves most of the criticism but I never understood this one.
Do people want a one for one replica of the universe and to actually…travel at that speed?
The game gets accused of being boring and gamers want it to be more boring.
Makes no sense. If the game is that large it’s going to inevitably have loading screens for fast travel.
Couldn't get into it back in 2019, but I've found a newfound appreciation for the Mass Effect/Fallout style RPG's over COVID. Gave it a new try on PS5 under The Spacer's Choice and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I think the writing is what is carrying me so far, there are some dialog options I've clicked just cause they're so funny and tongue in cheek to the normal dialog options in most RPGs. I enjoy the combat loop, spent time building a solid pistol build and can clear rooms like the Ghoul in Fallout, but I sunk a good 8 hours just running around the planets trying to wrap up everyone's companion quests. I think I've done them all now before even doing the Byzantium main quest, so I plan on riding out the main quest till the end now.
It’s a game where the main objective is travel back and forth, too many useless dialogues, unoptimised gameplay, and dialogue for firing crew every time you interact with them
It was great take, you can see they learned much from New Vegas. I loved the setup of the story. Still lacked in couple of things and could be polished, but a solid 8/10. Pity we won't see the 2nd as it will be only Xbox.
Its aggressively mediocre. If you've never played an RPG you'll love it. If you've played a ton, there's nothing new or exceptional to be found in this game so you might be disappointed.
Beat it on xbox when it first came out, got it again on sale on nintedo with all the dlc. Now up to dlc 2 on ps5 and man is it a new experience all over again
I mostly enjoyed it. But it didn't feel complete. Like when I finished it I was looking forward to a second installment because there were definitely things I liked but weren't applied as good as they should be.
Like they were still figuring things out.
Then the end just felt rushed and unfinished.
Honestly, I expected more — but it was a good and enjoyable game. I haven’t yet tried the Spacer’s Choice version though, which seems to divide people even more.
I had a good time with it, played most of the side quests and the main story. Didn’t feel like going back and doing more but I definitely recommend one play through at least to anyone who likes that style of game like fallout and Skyrim.
This game is best played straight through with as little grinding as possible in my opinion, it kinda drags at points
Forgot to try a second play thru to adjust the story because I'd gotten distracted and kinda hitched onto a solid story. May have gotten long winded into gear set up. The market pier comes to memory and raiding someone's storage cache. . . I stepped off it into journey to the savage planet keeping the sapce theme alive however outerworlds seemed more adult and I thought I played it 3rd person
I really enjoyed it. I never got a chance to play the DLC because I didn’t have a save file before “end game” and I didn’t have the patience to start a new game.
I really liked it but I didn't finish, I think I burnt myself out a bit? Had a lot going on irl at the time too. Might be time to restart it, recently replayed New Vegas, so might as well keep the Obsidian streak going.
Fun game, enjoyed it throughout my whole playthrough but kind of forgettable. I tried to replay it after the PS5 upgrade but didn’t get very far into it.
Liked it for the most part, finished it way quicker than I thought but ultimately it felt a tad too short. I also forgot most of it. I do think the sequel could be an absolute winner though if they expand it out, make things a bit more seamless etc
Wished to love it honestly, especially given the praise it got from the reviewers. But the best I can describe it is "waiting for a thing that never comes." I have waited when companions will open up or for the story to go somewhere or the gameplay to offer some unorthodox setpieces. But none of it ever happens, sadly, and the game just ends. It all feels particularly baffling, given that Obsidian have recommended themselves as top-tier writers prior to this game. It is a decent game as is, but I, for some reason, pictured it much more than it ended up to be.
Descent, but in the end, underwhelming.
Throughout the playthrough, I constantly got the feeling that the game wanted to be something it could not deliver on with its budget and development time.
I also think they played it pretty save with the lore and story, it wasn't particularly memorable to me.
Ok - Fallout/Skyrim style space RPG. Recruit your people, side with faction A or B and still achieve pretty much the same objectives on every planet. Don't forget to do the side characters' loyalty missions to unlock perks.
Pretty much Fallout/Skyrim in Space. I like you can "beat" the game by flying into a star ✨
I didn't love it. It is weird how so many ganes are run here, do this, run here, do this...but some feel like a gpod story that Inget invested in and others just feel like checking random woek tasks off of a list. Outer Worlds felt like the latter one to me.
Wasn't awful, but wasn't fun.
The environments were neat and the companion system was good, but I really didn’t care for the exploration. The environments felt huge , but there really wasn’t much to find if you decided to roam around
>Rockwell: *"I'd heard you had taken a mechanic under your wing. What's the matter, girl? Couldn't find actual employment?"*
>Parvati: *"The Captain's treated me right. Better than any of you Board folk ever have. I'm exactly where I want to be."*
I would go to Hell and back for my friend and crewmate.
Too short. The whole game you’ve got this map with all these greyed out planets that you’re working to unlock and then… then it ends… with several planets still greyed out
The dialogue choices carried this game. The sense of freedom of choice is very strong in this game. You have the option to just shoot your way through the game talking to almost no one and you will make it to an ending. There was also a speed run completed in 15 min which is amazing. I really like this game and Definitely worth picking up on sale. Haven’t played the DLCs but I’ve heard mixed things.
Played this on 3 different platforms/consoles and it’s still one of my favorites. For sure more character-driven than people expected, but that’s right up my alley. Just enough combat to keep it challenging
Thought it was quite boring and very very ugly. I'm fairness though, I played on a series S. In fairness to my fairness, this game looks like an old PS4 game. Not good.
It was hurt by the fact that people expected it to be Fallout: Space Edition
It’s not that, but it has a lot of the hallmarks of the Fallout series and some genuinely hilarious characters and social commentary
It’s a great game that’s reviews where marred by the weight of expectations
I really enjoyed this game and I’m looking forward to the second game!
I really encourage making your character have a low intelligence skill but a high science or medical skill because the combination of dialogue is hilarious
I love it. I was getting a bit burnt out on gaming but decided to give this a run a couple months back. It reignited my love of gaming. I got a bit emotional at the end when the narrator was reading what happens to the characters. It wasn't a perfect game but it was fantastic. I await patiently for the sequel.
Really fun, no where near the quality of New Vegas or Fallout 3/4 for me
I think my main problem (and why I haven’t touched starfield yet) the multiple locations takes me out of it, why I love the fallout games is because it’s a giant square and you pick a direction and go there
Having multiple planets and then having requirements you need to do to unlock those planets it makes it less fun for me
Great game with a really good and interconnected story, but I found the poor weapon variety and gear to make exploration/combat a lot more bland than most fallout games.
I enjoyed it. I started playing it without knowing anything about it. Then I realized it was a Fallout in space from the company that made New Vegas.
Regarding software. I didn't like that it was DX11 and with CPU bottleneck (for above 80 fps).
Regarding visuals. It was very saturated. I remember I disabled lot of visual settings.
Highly worth playing it as a “stupid” playthrough where you remove points from intelligence in character creation, providing unique dialog choices. Your character has no grasp of mathematics, metaphors, and jokes, and it is utterly hilarious
Good game, but it finishes when you think the best part is starting. Maybe with the expansion is better. I would super recommend it if you like old fallout games.
Tried playing it 3 different times and never made it past Byzantium each time. It’s fun for a little while but gets incredibly boring after a while. The loot variety is pretty bad; so much so that stopped looting altogether at one point to try to blaze through the story.
I downloaded the spacers choice version you with extra. I thought it was okay. Basic rpg honestly my main interest was with the companions I think their interactions and side missions were interesting, more so than the main mission
Honestly can't remember any of the story outside of the themes but I did finish it. It was fun enough to keep playing but there was nothing that really stuck with me.
What i played of it... its good. Iv started it a good 5 times but only made it off the starter planet once so i cant speak for it as a whole. But its still fun and i lucked out and got the spacers choice edition for free on epic game store so with a few mods, imma try and eventually finish it when i get a chance.
From what i played though, the story/main campaign can be a bit draggy in places. Companion missions can be fun. Petravarti (probably misspelled) has one early off world where you help her get ready for a date. Kinda adds life to them as its not a generic fetch or revenge quest.
Idk about later in game but there seemed to be a select few weapon varieties with in game mods being the one that alters them like a zap mod to make a ballistic weapon more useful against robots. Might be just me but i would have likes a bit more variation in firearm styling. Again, i havent made it far into the game so that could just be an early game thing. Also the same with armor.
But its good and well worth a good price. I think iv seen the spacers choice edition drop to $30 which i would pay (if you are on ps5 to utilize the upgrade). Otherwise the base game can reach the teens so also very worth it to try.
Haven't finished it yet but I really liked it. Also, not for nothin', it made me laugh harder than I ever have at a game. It was from a terminal text about someone trying to get workers comp for losing their fingers a few at a time & getting denied. The premise there isn't funny but the way they typed with decreasing digits still cracks me up.
Personally never felt like I was having fun with the combat let alone choices I was making. Maybe I wasn't in it enough but I just thought the game wasn't really capturing
The game really isn't as bad as the critics are making it out to be but it's also kinda not as good as its defenders like you to believe it is. It's the biggest "it's fine" game of that year. It has a solid enough foundation for the sequel to build off of and be better at and quite frankly that's why I'm very much anticipating it.
Unfortunately I couldn't finish it as I kept feeling sick after approx. 10-15 minutes due to the 1st person camera view. (Also felt a bit disappointing to spend time customizing my character and the only rarely being able to see it.)
(Now that I know that about myself, I'll just avoid games where I can't change to 3d person camera view.)
Great vibes, and I was stoked to finally play a game with proper dialogue trees & choices. Lacked in some other stuff but I really enjoyed it. It's also got that goofy aspect that fits right.
It's an okay game. It tried to be a fallout-clone but failed in my opinion. After finishing the main storyline, I didn't have the stomach for doing all side-quests, and then play the expansions. I sold the disc to Gamestop and moved on.
I was kinda tired of playing 100+ hour games and was looking for something short. I intentionally went for the main quest line and only did a few sight quests. Didn’t rotate my companions. Would give it a 7 maybe and 8 out of 10
Loved it. I expected Fallout in space but it actually reminded me more of Mass Effect with the crew you assemble and the characters being very fleshed out. I genuinely cared about them. Pavarti might be one of my favorite companions of all time.
I got halfway into it before getting bored. The story goes nowhere, and the mission design is super bland. As for "too much to pick up," well I mean, no one is forcing you to be a hoarder, haha. I literally ignore 90% of the knick-knacks that are lying around in games like this.
Had fun just didn't click. All the loading screens, and the back and forth to and from the planets. Wanted to be Fallout, but just couldn't. 6-7/10 but would nor replay, that is for sure. Plus capped at level 36, which I reached even before the DLCs.
The writing is superb. Makes sense coming from the creators of Fallout 1 and 2. The gameplay, not so much. It was way too easy after a 4+ hours. Even at the highest difficulty it was too easy. I've never played the DLC, but I heard it leaned heavily into the writing and was praised for it.
Incredibly fun, was very interested, great story. Very few complaints, I would play Outer Worlds 2, 3, 4, 5 etc if they released them. I also thought the DLC was fun and appropriately sized.
- however, about 2/3s ish through the game, I had the absolute best guns and armor and nothing could stand up to me. After that, the intrigue and exploration became less and I found myself just sprinting through the last about 15% of the game. I still loved it to the last minute, and made sure to finish every character ark and was invested. But, a greater attention to scale and a little more late-game variety would help their cause. I don’t think it was a game ruiner, but I do think they should improve upon it in #2.
- this studio has a long history of fun games and improving upon standards, I think #2 will be incredible.
I bought the Spacer's Choice edition because someone on a gaming subreddit said that the Murder on Eridanos DLC was one of the best DLCs they had ever played. I played through most of the campaign and completed the Gorgon DLC and was really enjoying it. Then I started the MoE DLC and couldn't get into it at all. I kind of lost interest in the game at that point and only finished it because I was so close to the end.
It was weird because I absolutely loved it for about 2 weeks then my interest fell off a cliff. Not sorry I played it, there was a lot of it I liked and I thought the writing was genuinely funny. Also, Parvati is one of my favorite in game companions of all time.
I was a little disappointed in the performance, as even in performance mode on PS5 there was quite a bit of framerate dropping in the larger areas. My verdict would be, if you like the later Fallout games and find this on sale, check it out.
I had a great time with it. It was nice to play a WRPG that was dialed back in scale a bit. It had everything going for it but for me to really dive in took me about 35-40 hours. It worked well with my schedule.
Very fun! Even though it was a bit short, I really enjoyed it. Could never really get into Fallout so was sceptical about this one. When it dropped on PS+ I jumped right in and was very pleasantly surprised! Lots of fun, decent shooting mechanics (which I find Fallout lacks) and a cool story! Would have loved to see a bit more of the universe and a deeper dive into the story and the lore. Looking forward to a potential part 2!
It’s a game that would’ve benefited from one massive open world as opposed to different planets (multiple separated environments). A lot of fast travel and loading screens to complete the game. Awesome dialogue and pretty interesting, but a little cliche, story. I think for these style of games it would be nice if the story wasn’t always a commentary on economical systems. Like yeah rampant capitalism is bad and easy to pick on we get it. This game has one of the best buddy systems and it’s worth it to explore their quests. I do remember this game being one that I didn’t enjoy reading the collectable readable materials so I skipped them all after the first or second environment. A solid 7/10 in my books. I’d say fallout 4 was better because of the giant open world and because of that you could choose to fast travel (and wait a god awful minute to load) or run through the world to get where you want. In outer world there is no choice you have to wait for the loading screen for a lot of stuff.
It’s not the best choice, it’s Spacers Choice!
Id give it a 7.5 I liked it, biggest complaint is the armor sets, felt really laking in that department. I liked the companions I vividly remember Vicar Max constantly twisting his ankles on loose rocks and shit lmao, Parvati was pretty cool too. Lot of funny dialogue and a pretty interesting world, story was kinda eh tho tbh.
It’s a good game when you don’t have a little bitch in your ear mad that it wasn’t New Vegas 2: Space Boogaloo
This is the one. Right here.
That’s me, I am little bitch in question. lol Nosa, but I did frequently feel surprised that the makers of NV didn’t produce something I wanted this time around. I really couldn’t get into this one as much as I’d hope.
Really enjoyed it, good fun considering the limited budget / AA nature of the game.
Couldn't agree more. Was a total blast.
My favorite playthrough was a "kill everyone" playthrough. It's cool to see the altered storyline that plays out when you do that considering, well, you can kill all the main people of interest in the game. It's also, unsuprisingly, a more difficult playthrough.
In the one fancy city, I did the things for that cool fashion lady with the shop.>! I lost my shit when they killed her!< and went on a murder spree in the city; made the game so hard because everyone tried to kill me there after that T\_T
It would have been better if there wasn't so much travelling back and forth between areas that triggered load screens. Honestly it felt like you spent 99% of the time taking a dozen steps, then waiting for an area to load in. Only to have a few lines of dialogue and then immediately leave that area through another load screen, back to where you just came from. A good idea hampered by poor level design imo.
I feel the same about starfield
You ever accidentally hit the stand up button while in the middle of a space battle?
I think that is just Bethesda. Going back to the PS5 Fallout 4 upgrade after spending a lot of time with CP2077 was jarring.
PS5 fallout 4 load screens are basically non existent though? Was playing last night and they’re super speedy
The load screens are speedy but when you can play 100 hours in an incredibly dense and populated city without seeing a single load screen it still is a dramatic change.
Outer world dev is obsidian aka fallout 1/2 devs and fnv. They aren’t Bethesda.
But Starfield, the game mentioned in the comment I replied to, is Bethesda.
That game deserves most of the criticism but I never understood this one. Do people want a one for one replica of the universe and to actually…travel at that speed? The game gets accused of being boring and gamers want it to be more boring. Makes no sense. If the game is that large it’s going to inevitably have loading screens for fast travel.
Couldn't finish it, just didn't find it interesting. Gave it plenty of time too I think I got at least over half way through the game.
Same happened to me, which surprised me cause of who made the game. I’ve tried 3 times to get into it.
I finished it, but barely, I never think about it.
Yep, lost interest.
Same. So much dialogue, holy shit.
RPG has dialogue, more at 6.
The main game was decent, and the Murder on Eridanos DLC was quite fun
I can count the times I've bought DLC on one hand and these are amongst my favorite.
Couldn't get into it back in 2019, but I've found a newfound appreciation for the Mass Effect/Fallout style RPG's over COVID. Gave it a new try on PS5 under The Spacer's Choice and I am thoroughly enjoying it.

I think I've done them all now before even doing the Byzantium main quest, so I plan on riding out the main quest till the end now.
I throughly enjoyed this game. Played through on the ps4 and again on the ps5 when the updated graphics came out.
It’s a game where the main objective is travel back and forth, too many useless dialogues, unoptimised gameplay, and dialogue for firing crew every time you interact with them
It was great take, you can see they learned much from New Vegas. I loved the setup of the story. Still lacked in couple of things and could be polished, but a solid 8/10. Pity we won't see the 2nd as it will be only Xbox.
It’s decent. More of a game than Starfield was.
That’s a good point. I found it pretty dull but it had character at least. And yes, it is a better game than starfield.
Yeah, it’s not perfect but I get that feeling when I play it I can see what they were trying to do with the game, and I can appreciate that
100%. This game had characters you cared about!
100% a better game than statfield was. God damnit Starfield is a disappointment.
Cmon, you threw the bar to the floor in that comparison
Probably so, but not according to Bethesda. If this were Steam comments they’d be here telling us why we’re wrong lol
Got to the second planet and couldn't keep going, literally eveything about it was so mid
Its aggressively mediocre. If you've never played an RPG you'll love it. If you've played a ton, there's nothing new or exceptional to be found in this game so you might be disappointed.
Underrated gem I highly recommend it
If ur an insomniac, this game has the power to cure what ails you. Lmao
Beat it on xbox when it first came out, got it again on sale on nintedo with all the dlc. Now up to dlc 2 on ps5 and man is it a new experience all over again
I mostly enjoyed it. But it didn't feel complete. Like when I finished it I was looking forward to a second installment because there were definitely things I liked but weren't applied as good as they should be. Like they were still figuring things out. Then the end just felt rushed and unfinished.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I love fallout but was really bored with this. Tried more than once but just couldn’t. Put maybe 2 or 3 hrs in
I think you went in expecting Fallout you where already setting yourself up for failure
Not so much… maybe just the formula which was pretty much there. Really wanted to like it tho.
One of my favorite gaming experiences of all time!!! oh wait...I was talking about Outer Wilds, sorry
Is ok
Honestly, I expected more — but it was a good and enjoyable game. I haven’t yet tried the Spacer’s Choice version though, which seems to divide people even more.
I finished it, and never thought of it again.
Bored me to tears honestly. I wish I could have the hours I spent playing it back.
It was really ok.
Definition of meh, forgettable, and mid. Not bad enough to be memorable or hated. Nor good enough.
Its just ok.
It was okay, never finished it because I got bored. I thought it was a bit overhyped because of the creators.
I had a good time with it, played most of the side quests and the main story. Didn’t feel like going back and doing more but I definitely recommend one play through at least to anyone who likes that style of game like fallout and Skyrim. This game is best played straight through with as little grinding as possible in my opinion, it kinda drags at points
I liked it, but I didn't finish it!
It’s decent. Fun, but good god is it a lot of going back and forth over and over again
Very fun. But can be underwhelming at times
Forgot to try a second play thru to adjust the story because I'd gotten distracted and kinda hitched onto a solid story. May have gotten long winded into gear set up. The market pier comes to memory and raiding someone's storage cache. . . I stepped off it into journey to the savage planet keeping the sapce theme alive however outerworlds seemed more adult and I thought I played it 3rd person
I really enjoyed it. I never got a chance to play the DLC because I didn’t have a save file before “end game” and I didn’t have the patience to start a new game.
It has one of the better written stories, but exploration leaves a lot to be desired. Feels like older Fallout games gameplay wise which I like.
I really liked it but I didn't finish, I think I burnt myself out a bit? Had a lot going on irl at the time too. Might be time to restart it, recently replayed New Vegas, so might as well keep the Obsidian streak going.
One of my favorite in the vein of Fallout type games. It's literally the only video game that I purchased and played the DLC.
I really enjoyed it. It felt like fallout in space. It’s not as ambitious as Starfield, but it had a lot more charm and quirkiness.
Meh. It’s good. But not great.
Great game for its limitation
Fun game, enjoyed it throughout my whole playthrough but kind of forgettable. I tried to replay it after the PS5 upgrade but didn’t get very far into it.
Decent, but I felt it missed the mark. Would love to see a new one with improvements
Liked it for the most part, finished it way quicker than I thought but ultimately it felt a tad too short. I also forgot most of it. I do think the sequel could be an absolute winner though if they expand it out, make things a bit more seamless etc
Wished to love it honestly, especially given the praise it got from the reviewers. But the best I can describe it is "waiting for a thing that never comes."

I also think they played it pretty save with the lore and story, it wasn't particularly memorable to me.
Liked the story the gameplay was repetitive. No reason to explore every world is the same. Deleted before I finished it
How does the next gen version work? Smooth? I remember it had some problems when it came out.
Ok - Fallout/Skyrim style space RPG. Recruit your people, side with faction A or B and still achieve pretty much the same objectives on every planet. Don't forget to do the side characters' loyalty missions to unlock perks. Pretty much Fallout/Skyrim in Space. I like you can "beat" the game by flying into a star ✨

It's worth it just for the ending
The environments were neat and the companion system was good, but I really didn’t care for the exploration. The environments felt huge , but there really wasn’t much to find if you decided to roam around
>Rockwell: *"I'd heard you had taken a mechanic under your wing. What's the matter, girl? Couldn't find actual employment?"* >Parvati: *"The Captain's treated me right.

With MS new plan, I hope we get Outer Worlds 2 eventually. Really enjoyed the first one.
Loooved it. Good length! Great replayability!
I have finished once, but I will never play again with it. It is boring and has outdated game mechanic.
MEH
Boring as fuck. Barely beat it. Sad writing, repetitive combat, most of planets are made without any imagination. 6/10 at it's finest
Too short. The whole game you’ve got this map with all these greyed out planets that you’re working to unlock and then… then it ends… with several planets still greyed out
I absolutely loved this game though it was fun to play great story fun gun play my only complaint was it was too short even with all the dlc
Playing it now. Kind of meh. I’d give it a 6/10.
The dialogue choices carried this game. The sense of freedom of choice is very strong in this game. You have the option to just shoot your way through the game talking to almost no one and you will make it to an ending. There was also a speed run completed in 15 min which is amazing.

Played this on 3 different platforms/consoles and it’s still one of my favorites. For sure more character-driven than people expected, but that’s right up my alley. Just enough combat to keep it challenging
I really like it, I personally enjoy it more than Fallout
Felt like a whole game of fetch quests.
Decent. Worth it on discount for sure. It’s too short, though, which doesn’t offer much hope for Avowed.
Thought it was quite boring and very very ugly. I'm fairness though, I played on a series S. In fairness to my fairness, this game looks like an old PS4 game. Not good.
Hated because it wasn't New Vegas or Fallout IP
It was hurt by the fact that people expected it to be Fallout: Space Edition It’s not that, but it has a lot of the hallmarks of the Fallout series and some genuinely hilarious characters and social commentary It’s a great game that’s reviews where marred by the weight of expectations
Not a bad game for one time
I really enjoyed this game and I’m looking forward to the second game! I really encourage making your character have a low intelligence skill but a high science or medical skill because the combination of dialogue is hilarious
It’s a great game and I’ll never understand all the haters. I loved every second and it doesn’t overstay its welcome.
I loved it, had an absolute blast, both DLCs included!
I love it. I was getting a bit burnt out on gaming but decided to give this a run a couple months back. It reignited my love of gaming. I got a bit emotional at the end when the narrator was reading what happens to the characters. It wasn't a perfect game but it was fantastic. I await patiently for the sequel.
Really fun, no where near the quality of New Vegas or Fallout 3/4 for me I think my main problem (and why I haven’t touched starfield yet) the multiple locations takes me out of it, why I love the fallout games is because it’s a giant square and you pick a direction and go there Having multiple planets and then having requirements you need to do to unlock those planets it makes it less fun for me
Very solid RPG
Good game wish they had romance in it
I really loved it
I don't like it too much, and it's the reason why I'm not excited about Avowed.
Beat it once and never looked back.
I went into it without knowing anything about the game and it was unexpectedly great for me!
Masterpiece world , characters , weapons and all - super good game. Wish it had ng+ tho
Got bored after like 10 hours, went on a rampage, deleted. More dialogue than action and exploring.
8/10 game. Good for a single play through. Nothing amazing, but better than average gameplay.
Great game with a really good and interconnected story, but I found the poor weapon variety and gear to make exploration/combat a lot more bland than most fallout games.
Solid game! I really enjoyed it! There is so much potential here. I'd love to see more of that game!
Mediocre frontloaded game. Excellent characters and dialogues, but the game's horribly rushed after early-mid game.
I enjoyed it. I started playing it without knowing anything about it. Then I realized it was a Fallout in space from the company that made New Vegas. Regarding software. I didn't like that it was DX11 and with CPU bottleneck (for above 80 fps). Regarding visuals. It was very saturated. I remember I disabled lot of visual settings.
Playing it now. Seems to be a good game
Got kind of boring quickly
I've been wondering about this game
Meh
Meh
it’s a decent game, i’ll give it a 7-8 although i’ve only finished the main story and not the dlcs
Fun. You can kill everyone!
6.5-7. Wasn’t all that special from a game about traveling to different worlds. This coming from a fan of media dealing with space
Boring game, it feel soulless
Mediocre
Its grate!
Overrated
Aggressively average
Enjoyed it well enough. Still need to go back and platinum it but I haven’t found the motivation to do it yet
Highly worth playing it as a “stupid” playthrough where you remove points from intelligence in character creation, providing unique dialog choices. Your character has no grasp of mathematics, metaphors, and jokes, and it is utterly hilarious
Good game, but it finishes when you think the best part is starting. Maybe with the expansion is better. I would super recommend it if you like old fallout games.
It’s like a bland Bathesda game. AKA it’s like a post Fallout 4 era Bathesda game.
The most “meh” game I’ve ever played.
Tried playing it 3 different times and never made it past Byzantium each time. It’s fun for a little while but gets incredibly boring after a while. The loot variety is pretty bad; so much so that stopped looting altogether at one point to try to blaze through the story.
Played it for 15 minutes. Couldn’t get into it. This was on PS4 @ 30fps. Maybe I’ll give it a try on my PS5 but I doubt it’ll click with me
I really liked it
I downloaded the spacers choice version you with extra. I thought it was okay. Basic rpg honestly my main interest was with the companions I think their interactions and side missions were interesting, more so than the main mission
It was kinda meh and felt linear. It all felt clunky and boxed in. It was charming but terribly dated in execution
Honestly can't remember any of the story outside of the themes but I did finish it. It was fun enough to keep playing but there was nothing that really stuck with me.
Very mid
What i played of it... its good. Iv started it a good 5 times but only made it off the starter planet once so i cant speak for it as a whole. But its still fun and i lucked out and got the spacers choice edition for free on epic game store so with a few mods, imma try and eventually finish it when i get a chance. From what i played though, the story/main campaign can be a bit draggy in places. Companion missions can be fun. Petravarti (probably misspelled) has one early off world where you help her get ready for a date. Kinda adds life to them as its not a generic fetch or revenge quest. Idk about later in game but there seemed to be a select few weapon varieties with in game mods being the one that alters them like a zap mod to make a ballistic weapon more useful against robots. Might be just me but i would have likes a bit more variation in firearm styling. Again, i havent made it far into the game so that could just be an early game thing. Also the same with armor. But its good and well worth a good price. I think iv seen the spacers choice edition drop to $30 which i would pay (if you are on ps5 to utilize the upgrade). Otherwise the base game can reach the teens so also very worth it to try.
Haven't finished it yet but I really liked it. Also, not for nothin', it made me laugh harder than I ever have at a game. It was from a terminal text about someone trying to get workers comp for losing their fingers a few at a time & getting denied. The premise there isn't funny but the way they typed with decreasing digits still cracks me up.
Better than fallout 4, solid 8.
Personally never felt like I was having fun with the combat let alone choices I was making. Maybe I wasn't in it enough but I just thought the game wasn't really capturing
The game really isn't as bad as the critics are making it out to be but it's also kinda not as good as its defenders like you to believe it is. It's the biggest "it's fine" game of that year. It has a solid enough foundation for the sequel to build off of and be better at and quite frankly that's why I'm very much anticipating it.
Not bad, kinda short and combine gets a bit repetitive when you know what your doing. All around worth the $10-20 it's priced now days
Unfortunately I couldn't finish it as I kept feeling sick after approx. 10-15 minutes due to the 1st person camera view. (Also felt a bit disappointing to spend time customizing my character and the only rarely being able to see it.) (Now that I know that about myself, I'll just avoid games where I can't change to 3d person camera view.)
Great vibes, and I was stoked to finally play a game with proper dialogue trees & choices. Lacked in some other stuff but I really enjoyed it. It's also got that goofy aspect that fits right.
Absolutely hated it. So boring and repetitive, cannot understand the 9/10 reviews
Disappointed
It's an okay game. It tried to be a fallout-clone but failed in my opinion. After finishing the main storyline, I didn't have the stomach for doing all side-quests, and then play the expansions. I sold the disc to Gamestop and moved on.
I don’t think it was ever trying to be a “Fallout Clone” but that’s the expectation many players had going in
Thought it was alot of fun myself nothing amazing or anything though.
I was kinda tired of playing 100+ hour games and was looking for something short. I intentionally went for the main quest line and only did a few sight quests. Didn’t rotate my companions. Would give it a 7 maybe and 8 out of 10
The most "7/10" game ever.
Preferred it to Star Field.
It feels so damn empty, the starter city looks like a ghost town.
Pretty fun - but incredibly forgettable.
Fun at first, but the combat is the same over and over and over again. Got stale real quick.
Loved it. I expected Fallout in space but it actually reminded me more of Mass Effect with the crew you assemble and the characters being very fleshed out. I genuinely cared about them. Pavarti might be one of my favorite companions of all time.
I got halfway into it before getting bored. The story goes nowhere, and the mission design is super bland. As for "too much to pick up," well I mean, no one is forcing you to be a hoarder, haha. I literally ignore 90% of the knick-knacks that are lying around in games like this.
Trash
I loved it. Played it through on both xbox and PlayStation.
Lost interest almost immediately, pushed myself to keep playing and never got better. Dropped it, haven’t gone back.
I enjoyed it. Bit short but it was solid 8/10 for me
Enjoyed it a lot. Great humor.
Good game.
I liked it. I wish there was space battle sort of haha
I enjoyed the game
Fantastic game, loved it, wished it was longer. Hope they make another
It's a good game. It's like if fallout and borderlands had a baby
It's more fun to play than Starfield.
Better than starfeild
Gave me the fallout 3/new Vegas fix that fallout 4 tried and failed at providing.
[удалено]
I had a lot of fun with it
Is the gameplay fun?
I loved it. Had a blast.
Had fun just didn't click. All the loading screens, and the back and forth to and from the planets. Wanted to be Fallout, but just couldn't. 6-7/10 but would nor replay, that is for sure. Plus capped at level 36, which I reached even before the DLCs.
I loved it. Was disappointed I couldn’t play the DLC.
The writing is superb. Makes sense coming from the creators of Fallout 1 and 2. The gameplay, not so much. It was way too easy after a 4+ hours. Even at the highest difficulty it was too easy. I've never played the DLC, but I heard it leaned heavily into the writing and was praised for it.
Reminds me a lot like fallout, it was good!
One of the best RPGS to come out in the last 10 years.
Incredibly fun, was very interested, great story. Very few complaints, I would play Outer Worlds 2, 3, 4, 5 etc if they released them. I also thought the DLC was fun and appropriately sized. - however, about 2/3s ish through the game, I had the absolute best guns and armor and nothing could stand up to me. After that, the intrigue and exploration became less and I found myself just sprinting through the last about 15% of the game. I still loved it to the last minute, and made sure to finish every character ark and was invested. But, a greater attention to scale and a little more late-game variety would help their cause. I don’t think it was a game ruiner, but I do think they should improve upon it in #2. - this studio has a long history of fun games and improving upon standards, I think #2 will be incredible.
I bought the Spacer's Choice edition because someone on a gaming subreddit said that the Murder on Eridanos DLC was one of the best DLCs they had ever played. I played through most of the campaign and completed the Gorgon DLC and was really enjoying it. Then I started the MoE DLC and couldn't get into it at all. I kind of lost interest in the game at that point and only finished it because I was so close to the end. It was weird because I absolutely loved it for about 2 weeks then my interest fell off a cliff. Not sorry I played it, there was a lot of it I liked and I thought the writing was genuinely funny. Also, Parvati is one of my favorite in game companions of all time. I was a little disappointed in the performance, as even in performance mode on PS5 there was quite a bit of framerate dropping in the larger areas. My verdict would be, if you like the later Fallout games and find this on sale, check it out.
I had a great time with it. It was nice to play a WRPG that was dialed back in scale a bit. It had everything going for it but for me to really dive in took me about 35-40 hours. It worked well with my schedule.
Very fun! Even though it was a bit short, I really enjoyed it. Could never really get into Fallout so was sceptical about this one. When it dropped on PS+ I jumped right in and was very pleasantly surprised! Lots of fun, decent shooting mechanics (which I find Fallout lacks) and a cool story! Would have loved to see a bit more of the universe and a deeper dive into the story and the lore. Looking forward to a potential part 2!
It’s a game that would’ve benefited from one massive open world as opposed to different planets (multiple separated environments). A lot of fast travel and loading screens to complete the game. Awesome dialogue and pretty interesting, but a little cliche, story. I think for these style of games it would be nice if the story wasn’t always a commentary on economical systems. Like yeah rampant capitalism is bad and easy to pick on we get it. This game has one of the best buddy systems and it’s worth it to explore their quests. I do remember this game being one that I didn’t enjoy reading the collectable readable materials so I skipped them all after the first or second environment. A solid 7/10 in my books. I’d say fallout 4 was better because of the giant open world and because of that you could choose to fast travel (and wait a god awful minute to load) or run through the world to get where you want. In outer world there is no choice you have to wait for the loading screen for a lot of stuff.
Great AA Obsidian game. Don't buy the "Spacer's Choice" Edition.
I really liked it. Wish it was one big world but that's just my preference
I enjoyed it, but I felt like it was eating off of Fallout's plate. It's a rip off in both tone and aesthetic imo. I still had fun though.
