Description



The Outer Worlds Expansion Pass is available here


The Outer Worlds is an award-winning single-player first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division.

Lost in transit while on a colonist ship bound for the furthest edge of the galaxy, you awake decades later only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy the Halcyon colony. As you explore the furthest reaches of space and encounter various factions, all vying for power, the character you decide to become will determine how this player-driven story unfolds. In the corporate equation for the colony, you are the unplanned variable.

KEY FEATURES

The player-driven story RPG

In keeping with the Obsidian tradition, how you approach The Outer Worlds is up to you. Your choices affect not only the way the story develops; but your character build, companion stories, and end game scenarios.


You can be flawed, in a good way

New to The Outer Worlds is the idea of flaws. A compelling hero is made by the flaws they carry with them. While playing The Outer Worlds, the game tracks your experience to find what you aren't particularly good at. Keep getting attacked by Raptidons? Taking the Raptiphobia flaw gives you a debuff when confronting the vicious creatures, but rewards you with an additional character perk immediately. This optional approach to the game helps you build the character you want while exploring Halcyon.


Lead your companions

During your journey through the furthest colony, you will meet a host of characters who will want to join your crew. Armed with unique abilities, these companions all have their own missions, motivations, and ideals. It's up to you to help them achieve their goals, or turn them to your own ends.


Explore the corporate colony

Halcyon is a colony at the edge of the galaxy owned and operated by a corporate board. They control everything... except for the alien monsters left behind when the terraforming of the colony’s two planets didn’t exactly go according to plan. Find your ship, build your crew, and explore the settlements, space stations, and other intriguing locations throughout Halcyon.

A deep, funny, and intricately designed RPG reminiscent of the golden age of Fallout, when conversations mattered and comedy-grade cynicism came fitted as standard.

With The Outer Worlds, Obsidian has found its own path in the space between Bethesda and BioWare's RPGs, and it's a great one.

It's a stuttery mess.

7900XT, 5800X3D, 32Gig ram and installed on a SSD. This game is stuttering like crazy. Last time I had this much stutter was when I was trying to play GTAV on my 2010 7850HD.

An Obsidian experiment

The game was fun. Story was a bit generic Sci-Fi corporate dystopia with some humour (think Borderlands). Music was fitting. VO was great, characters well written (though with a severe lack of PC romance). As for the gameplay; interesting concept with the (optional) stealth sections, time dilation for combat is always cool, branching dialogues / problem solving. Vertical movement though was terribly implemented: low jumps, issues with uneven terrain, and annoying ladders. Level limit is also too low in my opinion (so I'd recommend modding - in lieu of Spacer's Choice Edition). All-in-all solid product from Obsidian, though going mainstream / 3D - as opposed to isometric - makes the writing (and its scope) suffer a bit.

A Brilliant Mess of Choices and Cheese

The Outer Worlds has sharp writing, fun combat, and great companions, but it's too short and too easy. Excellent if you like Fallout but wish it took itself even less seriously. Just don’t expect depth past the witty dialogue.

One Major Issue

I like this game so far, it has a nice feel and runs well BUT the menu for flying with your spaceship is awfull, and when I mean awfull it looks like it was generated with early LLM because it just makes my eyes hurt, apart from that voice acting is good shooting is good, nothing revoliutionary in this genre
