The Outer Worlds

This is a very good game. It is heavy on dialogue, with many conversation options. The graphics are bright, colourful and imaginative. Unlike many new games there are barely any bugs or glitches and none of them are game breaking. No micro transactions, no loot boxes, this is a complete game. If you felt cheated by the absolute crap that was Fallout 76 as I did buy this game. Bethesda take note, this is how you make a game, and Tod Howard pull your head out of your back.

This is not a bad game but this is not a super game, I would prefer to play fallout NV or fallout 3 / 4 over this.

It has a very short story with a lot of side missions what felt like main part of this game, It had no characters what gave any lasting impression, But the combat is fun, you can do a lot of the game just by talking your way through what is a nice change and the story is not great but just good enough to make me keep going to the end what was a Disappointing ending to a game what felt mediocre at best.

Fantastically written dialogue and deep character customisation make this an absolute gem. Funny as hell, as well as deeply ironic, it plays smoothly and looks great. I've experienced no bugs at all, showing Bethesda that it is indeed possible to create an excellent open world RPG that isn't horrifically broken.

Just wow. When this great, proper action RPG gets compared with Bethesda's latest offering, it really is embarrassing just how far Bethesda have fallen. The outer worlds looks fantastic, runs smooth as silk (on PS4 Pro) and is rich in detail, content, character development options, customisation and combat. It is everything you could possibly hope this genre of video game would be and a ton load more added in just as a bonus - out of the collective goodness of Obsidian's heart.

This gem! From the creator of the fan favourite Fallout New Vegas, Obsidian is once again showing Bethesda how it's REALLY done - (to the point of dishing out a huge dose of abject humiliation in the process in this particular case)

Compare The Outer Worlds to the broken mess that was and still is Fallout 76, with its over priced micro transactions and utterly disgraceful, borderline criminal (imo) Subscription "Service." Bethesda (probably being forced to by its owner Zenimax to do so) have turned their sheer greed and audacity up to 11 and have just gone straight for the "desperate cash grab" strategy aimed directly (and ruthlessly) at the few players that actually stuck with their half finished rubbish. That's what fan loyalty got them! Nice!

Anyway, compare that dumpster fire atrocity of a game with this. Night and Day only begins to illustrate the point.

That said, we do now have to anxiously wait to see if Take 2 interactive decides to introduce micro transactions into the outer worlds and break all of our hearts in doing so. Please T2I. Just Nooooo!

TLTR:

1 Good game by a good developer = buy 2 Bad game by a bad developer = leave to others to buy

The Outer Worlds = 1. Fallout 76 = 2

The Outer Worlds was some of the most fun I've had with a new game in a very long time. I found myself wrapped up in the Colony of Halcyon as much as the characters were. The graphics are beautiful but also very different from typical graphics. This game has a smooth style while also using very similar elements to Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4. Gameplay is refreshing and feels so well polished. I loved some of the characters and all of the locations. The creatures are new and innovative and the guns are creative. I've never found myself liking a game so easily. The Outer Worlds has some problems with design of some characters as well as a healing system that could be improved. The Outer Worlds doesn't do much wrong and does a lot of things very very well.
