The Outer Worlds

I played this years ago, and I do like it. I wish there were vehicles or power armors available. Also, there needs to be more sexi women, everyone looks rather mid.

TLDR The Outer Worlds is a watered down Mass Effect Andromeda. There are a lot of fun parts in this game, most of the mechanics are smooth, the art style feels like its own, but the worldbuilding is a bit lackluster. Story-wise the pacing is not the best but it could be worse, the companions feel more like mercs for hire. I can see that the devs tried to add unique dialogue combos here & there, but it's like they ran out of time and resources on the way. Some of the dialogue also feels like everyone talks at you instead of to you which makes for bizarre shifts in tone that break the immersion. The game is linear but built like it was supposed to be open world and most of the time you're done with a location in 1-3 visits because there aren't a lot of quests, and some of the locations are really small. One mechanic I disliked was stealth, because it only matters for the 1st shot of a ranged weapon per combat, and not player detection. With stealth maxed out through points, equipment, follower bonus (~150) the player character is spotted just as easily as with 0 stealth even in low lit areas out of enemy fov when sneaking. All other skills have visible effects in the world, this one should as well, and I am not comparing it to cheese stealth games like skyrim. I hope the 2nd game expands on much needed lore, gives us more to explore, treats its NPCs with a bit more detail and immersion, and makes the companions memorable.

Coming from a Mass Effect, Fallout, Dragon Age I like all the elements related to an RPG. The character skill development isn't that hard to undersatand, not a hard learning curve. Nice dialogs and choices. The combat feels a lot like real time Fallout mixed with Bioshock, and the companions added a good plus. Totally recommended.

Its just another great gamer of rol with lots of hours to really inmerse into the universe they present you :D

I played on gamepass but I got rid of that and prefer to own my copy. This game is amazing
