Its not a bad game, its not a good game. It's not buggy. It's slightly interesteing but quickly boring. The major problem is that 90% of your focus time is on micromanaging workers. For example to build a building like a forge you have to select and place it on the map. Then assign a worker to build it. Then assign workers to staff it. Thats 3 operations to get it going, it should only be 1. Some of the mechanics are tricky an dtakes a couple play throughd to really understand, at which point the game becomes boring. Its an RTS with no speed control. Pause is a total game freeze, you can't assign, build, scroll, review anything while paused. There is no strategy to combat, just build as many fighters as you can and send the mob off to attack.
Based on the string reviews I wanted to play this game. But I don't get it. No tutorial, no guide, no instruction, no background story. Just a steam engine that rolls a little, runs out of energy, and no way to get it going again.
If you are buying the whole game to play The Outer Worlds, ITS GREAT! If you are buying the $10 upgrade to release the level cap in the base game, don't. It doesn't work.
Just really fun. And in one play through I saw only one bug, a screen phantom cleared by quit and re-start.
I enjoyed this game. But.... It is somewhat buggy. I played about half way through the campaign, enjoyed my play time, but got bored. Some of the mechanics are really weird and hard to understand. The whole walker/blocker mechanic is the dumbest thing I've ever seen in a city builder. The fun part of any scenario is the beginning where you plan your layout. The end of every scenario is a lame x5 speed wait for slow things to get done all while you have to keep appeasing the gods and managing inventory overflow.
This is a very fun game but gets old quickly. At the novelty stage it is quite entertaining. It soon turns to grind since after "winning" a stage you get another stage with more of the same, etc etc etc. While there are a number of "win" options, very few are paractical in any reasonable time and "kill all" is usually what you end up with. At a low price its definitely worth a try.
It won't run on modern Windows 10 PC. For the frief time I got it to run, I could not fly the ship. The tutorial is horrible.
WOTC is in many ways just an XCOM2 re-play. I does have some added features. If you liked XCOM 2 you will like WOTC. But it's probaly a good idea to put some time between them and not play them back to back.
I really enjoyed it at the beginning, but later it starts to drag. The constant setbacks of attacks, fires, etc makes it feel like you are just barely making progress. I gave up long before actually "winning", but I did enjoy most of the time I played. I guess the game is better with mods but I didn't use any. An expensive game should stand on its own.
The game crashes to black screen requiring full computer re-boot. It did this a few times and then it corrupted its own files and became unplayable.
