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.

Not Obisian’s best, but okay once

#Summary (64%): The Outer Worlds is not the great epic Obsidian Entertainment wanted it to be. At best, it is a short and okay sci-fi cRPG. At worst, it is New Vegas with better graphics and slightly worse everything else. #Review: If you played Fallout: New Vegas, it is easy to describe The Outer Worlds. It is the same game, only shorter, jankier, and a bit cheaper. If you did not play that game, though… The Outer Worlds is a cRPG with many internal conflicts. It is not open-world, but it tries to mimic it with a handful of large semi-open maps. It tries to give the player freedom of choice, but it only has two real story paths. Its skill system branches into many possible builds, but few of them are viable for most quests. It has a great weapon upgrade system, but terrible combat due to the enemies' damage scaling. Is it fun, though? For one or two play-throughs, it is. The usual Obsidian elements are all here. They… they just never have time to bloom. Most enemies feel similar. Most maps—both interior and exterior—feel the same. The companion dialogues are great, but everyone else suffers from being a stereotypical NPC. The first half of the story feels engaging, but the second half feels rushed. I guess this last sentence also describes many other game elements here. Everything feels wonderful initially, yet it ends up as a chore eventually. So, yeah. If you wanted a new New Vegas with the same replay value, prepare for disappointment. If you only want a new New Vegas for a new storyline, then The Outer Worlds is a good choice, especially on sale. Heh, maybe its shortness is even an advantage here. At least you cannot get bored with it before it runs out of steam.

The Outer Worlds

I'm a huge fan of dirty, worn-out sci-fi, and The Outer Worlds delivers that in spades, tied up alongside a scathing critique of the all-consuming misery of capitalism and Obsidian's trademark funny dialogue. It's a shame it was a bit rushed at the end, but that does little to ruin the fun. Like Fallout: New Vegas before it, The Outer Worlds is largely a vector for Obsidian to turn both barrels on corporate hellscapes. We are a colonist in the Halcyon system, but our ship is lost en route and not found again for 70 years. Waking from cryo sleep, the system turns out to be utterly in thrall to the Halcyon Holding Corporation, with the various denizens stuck living in a grim cycle where everything is monetized and paid right back to the company. Thank goodness that could never happen today. Also like Fallout, The Outer Worlds is ostensibly a FPS-RPG but the combat isn't really the core focus; it's an Obsidian game, so really it's all about the writing. There are a ton of choices you get to make that affect the power of Halcyon's owners, and all of them are underpinned not just by a cynical critique of the governing system but also by a sparkling sense of humanity that make seeing questlines through a real joy.
