Not bad, not good
I can see how some people were let down by this game, you hear Obsidian is making a space game and think 'fallout new vegas in SPACE?!' right? Well no. Aesthetically The Outer Worlds feels VERY Bioshock, from the art style to the consumable choices and the over the top cartooney levels of villified capitolism - all of which mostly annoyed me, I hated all of that in bioshock. The weapon armor and combat take more from Destiny 2 than anything, what it did take from new vegas was the quirky humor - except its been dialed to 11 and instead of being a cute little moment to lighten the mood it absolutely saturates the game and ruins any sense of seriousness the story or events portray, all the scientists die for humanity by experimenting on themselves? Huk huk well shucks, thats against company policy! ugh. What The Outer Worlds does do right, is the RPG aspects. Attributes (Strength, dexterity, intelligence, ect ect) All have meaningful impacts and significant downsides if you lower them to free up more points for other stats, combat stats feel rewarding and the typically noncombat stats all have useful in combat ties, such as increasing medical also increases damage you do to human enemies, charm can make enemies you attack cower for a moment , engineering can increase your damage with electric and plasma damage , lots of flexibility and customization here. The perk system is.....pretty hit or miss, some of them are really nice, others are so absurdly situation specific they are utterly useless outside of that specific situation (Such as headshot kills causing enemies to explode damaging any enemy (or friendly) target within 2.5 meters - do you know how RARE it is for enemies in this game to stand that close? The Supernova difficulty has some serious issues, you CANT sleep till you complete the first major questline, and you HAVE to sleep to cure concussion or crippled limbs, though the later you can 'bug out of' party but being overweight then fixing the weight.

A Nice Space RPG. Strange characters.
Well, it's not Fallout in Space, but it's a decent and well rounded space RPG. Pros: - unique world and style - lots of weapons and enemies - interesting quests - quite a long play if you add the DLCs and the secondary quests Cons: - some of the characters are... mediocre at best of times - some of the environment color choices are questionable (high contrast, eye bleeding colors) - the difficulty curve is not consistent with some mid game weapons having a huge damage drop - ranged weapons are ammo wasters, melee weapons are far superior, very annoying for ranged characters to have to constantly buy ammo - some of the DLC quests should have been part of the game itself as the main game is kind of short without. Conclusion: With proper characters (not what we have now), a more balanced difficulty curve, and less annoying color palette this could be quite a decent game series. It all depends on the characters. If they stay the same, it's a big loss.

Fun, but keeps crashing
I love this game and can never finish because it just keeps crashing.

Pretty Good
I've followed Obsidian's work for a long time. Outer Worlds is a fantastic addition to their library of games. I actually got this game for free off Amazon but I would absolutely have paid full price for it if I'd known how good it wasn from the outset. A great sense of humor and some fun world building that goes beyond the usual dark dystopia stuff and I would highly recomend it to anyone looking for a game that fits comfortably under the umbrella with titles like Fallout New Vegas.
