The Outer Worlds

I enjoyed this quite a bit for the exact amount of time it took me to finish it and then it left my mind completely. Decent, but nothing more.

The story is great but i don't care about alien worlds, maybe if they dropped a nuke on it.

Really nice alt Fallout option from the storytelling side. The gameplay itself is largely forgettable compared to the goofball characters.

I'm not a Fallout fan--for some reason the games don't really do it for me, against all reason. Except New Vegas was pretty good. And sure enough, the creators of that make a "Fallout game" that I love. Good humour, shooting that isn't clunky as shit, music that reminds me of KOTOR, and it isn't filled with nonsense guests that are only there to make the game 200 hours long. You don't always need gigantic worlds and millions of quests.

Really disappointing.

I spent ~10 hours. It was very exciting at the beginning, but after that the tasks become so repetitive that I suffer during gameplay. Cool characters and world theme, but the rest is just average.

Cleverly written, beautifully voice acted, mostly bug free space rpg anti-capitalist satire. Picture Mass Effect meets Firefly meets Futurama.

I was so devastated that I couldn't play after finishing. Like, I get that it makes sense plot wise, but cmon now.

Not the Fallout NV MK II we were hoping for. Very forgettable.

Great game. Fallout NV 2, but not as good as that game. F:NV quests were better, and I preferred having a giant open world to wonder around in. This game the worlds felt a little cramped and the quests a bit short, but if I had never played F:NV I might've never noticed.

Good moment-to-moment writing and fun, focused satire that really hammers on capitalism in particular to good effect. The gunplay is serviceable at best, and the perks are so unbelievably lame that leveling up doesn't feel rewarding. Obsidian remains great at integrating skill checks into mission objectives and into dialogue. I love that I can talk my way out of so many potential shootouts and confrontations with high enough language stats and by picking the right dialogue options.

The main story is great. Side game mostly uninteresting... too short.

A good game, but the companions felt really... shallow. Really enjoyed the universe and worlds though. Wish it was longer.

Surprisingly short and bland. The hype of the New Vegas resurrection and the failure of Fallout76 gave this game a leg up, and yet it feels extra two dimensional. Shiny, pew pews and lack of substance, just like Marvel movies.

A good start lacking some depth, I enjoyed the playthrough, characters and graphics. The kind of game that would impress if released by Bethesda, but disapoints from Obsidian. We've seen their capabilities with grand conflicting stories and there just wasn't much way to justify more than one outcome.

A clear attempt by Obsidian to repeat the success of Fallout NV, while borrowing heavily from Firefly and Mass Effect. While polished and adequately written, every moment screams of being a copy -- instead of something new.
