The Outer Worlds

Summary: 3.5/5.0 Story-driven space opera RPG with dark humor elements and an interesting character cast. Game design and writting are outstanding during the first two parts and lacking on the last part. Difficulty is acceptable with low learning curve, though combat tends to feel repetitive after a while. Sound design and music are above average for a game of this kind. Overall: □ F$#ckn blow your brains out! ■ Great addition to your library □ Buy on discount □ If you must... □ KiLL iT wiTH FiRe! Difficulty □ Souls-level □ Hard but rewarding ■ Casual □ Plays like Fortnite (for kids) □ Can't even be called a game, more like a VN Story □ Mind blown! ■ Highly Entertaining □ Not too shabby □ An elementary school paper is more enjoyable □ What is story? Sound □ Masterpiece ■ Everything falls in place □ Nickelback □ Lil' Wayne □ Reggaeton Computer requirements □ Can run Crysis at Ultra (PC Master Race) ■ Decent gaming rig □ Straining, but not quite □ Runs on command line □ Runs on a pregnancy test Detailed Review: There is a saying in the games industry: Obsidian writting and Bethesda engines. This was proven truth for those who had the fortune to play Fallout: New Vegas. In this case, the writting is still outstanding, while the game engine shines on its own. The game can be defined as a western-opera, storywise the first two parts of the game are exactly what you expect from Obsidian RPGs: refined, well-written, great world lore and intriguing characters. Unfortunately, the quality startss going down on the last act at which point you can rush through the missions, get the ending and a clap on your back and move on. That's it, you just get a clap on your back, but no feeling of emptiness or desire to keep playing. I specially enjoyed the cast of characters, though too much attention was given to a particular 'sexually-not-defined' character at the expense of the others. No doubt this was made to cater to all SJW degenerates. Cannot write more than this...

The default graphics make my eyes bleed. I spent a half a day tweaking ini's, installing mods, and trying out ReShade presets before I finally found something I could tolerate. All that just to find the game to be boring anyway. One self-referential NPC sums it up by breaking the fourth wall: "What do these anemic [half]-wits know about dialog anyway?"

The game starts good but after the first hour (the tutorial), it begins very boring. Beware, it's not so open world RPG. It's just FPS with some RPG components, nothing more.

I liked this game much!

I love obsidian. They've made some of my favorite game. They usually have top-tier writing and really good stories. This was NOT what we got with this game. It's bland, boring and the characters are all horribly written. The gameplay is decent, but repetitive. The overwhelming amount of useless items you pick up hints at a crafting system that was never implemented. Seriously, I had tons of items at the end that I never even used. Also, it's full of identity politics. It was obviously written by woketards. And there are no romance options for the NPC's, which is a bit weird when you consider all the other RPG's made by obsidian. In fact, the only romance dialogue in the game between Parvati and her lesbian admirer. Lame and not worth even on sale. I'll just go play Pillars of Eternity instead.
