The Outer Worlds

Well written world

I am pretty surprised by the negative reviews for this game. I thought it was wonderfully written. Tons of sarcastic humor and Verhoeven-esque jabs at commercialism. I played with Parvati and Max the whole game. The first to companions. I thought they were both really well written and interesting characters. Sure it isn't super deep, but Max does have an interesting turn of personality after an unusual side quest. Parvati's quest is not so great. It is purely character building but all romance and not so interesting to me. I still really liked her. I like that voice actress, she's the same one who does the lead in Horizon Zero Dawn. Yes, the enemies do get repetative. That surely could have been worked on. Also, I HATE DLC that starts in the middle of the story. I had already played the whole game (ps4) so when the DLC came out I had to pick a random save location and then start that DLC which really made it fall flatter than it would have otherwise. It was also too similar to the rest of the game with only slightly different creatures and locations. For me the selling point is really the writing style. The sense of humor really worked for me. I loved reading all the notes and listening to all the NPCs because of it.
