Sadly, Outer Worlds is mediocre.
Many expected a Fallout game in space. Not me to be honest, I was and still am fine about the game's hub structure. But the big thumbs down for me was how all mediocre the entire experience was. While the "corporation bad" theme wasn't groundbreaking and all, I still think the way they presented it was very unique and funny, most of the time, even if it was on your face and some consider it poor design. But the good part ends there: Character design, especially female, looks horrible(except miss Parvati, one of the only interesting characters in the game), straight up from a gender studies class or something. Weapons had some cool designs and animations but were very few and generic, with a barebones leveling and mod system applied to them. The amounts of useless loot you would store is literally absurd, even not stealing anything. Consumables were confusing as hell, and would overlap with one another, unlike the drugs in earlier Fallouts for example, which had very clear uses. The "skill tree" if you could call it that, was very...boring? Idk what to say about that. It was as generic and boring as it could be. Maybe the lack of Steam and GOG reviews hid how "not that good", Outer Worlds was. I'd say play it, but with gamepass at best. This launch price is not payable in my humble opinion, as replayabilty has little to no reason to be done as well.
Is this helpful to you?
