THE OUTER WORLDS REVIEW ROUNDUP

The Outer Worlds Review Roundup

22/10/2019

If you where one of the many fans that wished for more FALL OUT in FALL OUT 76, then Obsidian's THE OUTER WORLDS may be the answer to your prayers. Swapping the settings of a Post-apocalyptic America for the vivid unknown of outer space is a welcome change for these subgenres of first-person RPGs. Of course, if it's a buggy unplayable mess, it wont be a game for anyone. Read what some of the best gaming publications around had to say about it in the review roundup:

GAMESPOT 9/10
'I finished The Outer Worlds wanting more, eager to jump back into the world to see extra things. It's not a short game, but it's one packed with such a steady stream of wonderful characters to meet, interesting places to explore, and meaningful, multi-layered quests to solve, that it didn't feel like there was any room to get tired of it.'

DESTRUCTOID 9/10
'Despite some nominal issues that might be easier for some to hand-wave than others, Obsidian has out-Fallouted recent Fallout efforts. The Outer Worlds is more limited from a size standpoint compared to a lot of other open world adventures, but it makes up for it in charm and a succinct vision without much bloat.'

IGN 8.5/10
'With The Outer Worlds, Obsidian has found its own path in the space between Bethesda and BioWare, and it’s a great one. The combat, character, and companion systems have enough new spins on existing ideas to make it feel like an homage with its own personality rather than a copy.'

GAME INFORMER 9.25/10
'Even if the larger beats don’t always land, The Outer Worlds shines with a constant stream of small, bright moments. An amusing interaction with a clueless guard. A sugary corporate jingle. A brutal sneak attack. A solution to a problem you are sure won’t work, but it does.'

GAME RANT 4.5/5
'The Outer Worlds is a lot, in the best way possible. It packs so much RPG goodness into a tight package that fans are going to be engrossed from beginning to end. Put simply, The Outer Worlds is the deep sci-fi RPG that gamers have been promised from so many franchises, and only now has been delivered.'

With a mid 80s metacritic score on all major consoles it seems that the folks over at Obsidian have successfully navigated the fine line between inspired and shameless copy. I personally can't wait to jump in to this epic space adventure.

The Outer Worlds releases October 25, 2019 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One (Switch version coming 2020).
