The Outer Worlds

This game is so unique and fun. Sometimes in long open world games I get a little bored because there's a lack of things to do, well that didn't happen here. This game is rich with different characters, factions, and locations. Get this game as soon as possible

This game was a very pleasant surprise; I had barely heard about it before it had come out. But I enjoyed every moment of it, begining to end. A large portion of the game is dialogue, and one of the Outer World's strengths is it's engaging writing and multi level branching conversations. They DO someone lack dynamics, as all conversations take a place in a shoulders up view like New Vegas or FO3. Your companions will chime in with interesting things to say and also will give you dialogue skill bonuses, It's definitely worth considering who you bring with you when you set out. For example, Parvati (played so well by Ashley Burch) gives you bonuses to persuade with how adorable she is. All of this matters too; the amount of choices you make over the game to determine Halcyon's fate is incredible and results in many types of endings. You really can burn any bridge or kill any person and there will still be a path to continue. The main story isn't super long, especially if you have good dialogue skills, but it's replayability and other activities more than make up for it. As for gameplay, the game leaves a little to be desired with its core mechanical feel. Combat feels a little static on its own, and stealth can be inconsistent and difficult. Luckily, it has a fun slow motion ability and satisfying companion special moves. While the environments have a lot of interesting places and people, they don't feel as open as they should sometimes. Other than that I had no other problems with this game. It's personality, world building, and humor make it 100% worth it. RPG fans, don't skip this one!!!

Really fun for about the first 10 hours, but then gets a little stale. The characters are really strong, and the choices you make feel real and I found myself really thinking about what would be the best choice. The story does feel a bit short, but the part that bothered me was the amount of items and enemies in the game. After a while you find that you are simply finding the same weapons and armor over and over again. And fighting the same enemies over and over again. Overall I had a lot of fun playing the game but got pretty bord near the end.

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.

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.
