Description





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.

A really nice game with nice quality and gameplay ! You can totally personnalize your fight style, squad, quests and all !
  • Easy to play
  • A lot of quests
  • A nice "friends/ennemy" system between nations
  • Some bugs (in the travels)
As an rpg it's great game, amazing story, good developmemt mechanics and overall a very enjoyable experience.

My main cincern is that the sacrifices to port this game were huge. Graphics has suffered a lot more than I could enjoy. Smeared image, lowres textures and close to nonexistent foliage on outdoor scenes. It hurts the most when it comes to other characters. Low res image of their dresses and also sub-par facial textures are simply ugly.

I will play the game on the PC as there it is indeed a great AND beautiful game. On the switch, it was disappointing to me.
  • Great story
  • Good game system
  • Low-res textures
  • Smeared image
Disgusting mouse input making it unplayable and the movement animations and melee combat is allso bland as hell. Nothing new gets brought to the franchise with this title, but at half price it could be worth it- if you're a couch crawling console simp.
Nice Game, reminds of Fallout but its way smaller of course, like i said its a really nice game you can go different ways, there is a Skill function, you can upgrade weapons, the game key was really fast like always.
