Customers are saying

Customers value the solid gameplay and engaging story of The Outer Worlds, with many praising the portability of the Switch version for on-the-go play. While some players enjoyed the open world and action elements, others noted performance issues, including frame rate drops and lower resolution compared to other platforms. The game's quirky story was also a highlight for many. Despite some technical drawbacks on the Switch, the positive reception to the core gameplay and story suggests a generally enjoyable experience.

    Excellent RPG with a heavy dose humor. While it doesn't look or run as good as on the xbox and suffers a bit from load times, it still runs fairly well and is the only way to play on the go.

    Open-World, Feature-Rich Game

    This is a fun, open-world game that is similar to the Fallout series. Playing as your character, you are confronted with choices that have an effect on the story you are playing through. You can customize your character physically, customize equipment and stats, and lots of other things.

    1st this cannot compare to the Home system versions...BUT...with the recent updates it is now at least playable & runs & looks a lot better. So now having this on is pretty cool. ENJOY!

    Not just another first person shooter game. Many modifications to customize your character, along with an open map and many missions. Highly recommend!

    Amazing story telling and my type of humor abound in this scifi tale. Interesting companions (minus the one note robot), crazy scientist, a man with a moon mask stuck on his head, questionable meat manufacturing, the multiple dialog options... Loved it.

    Thought it was a fun play through. Had a fallout feeling to it so that was a plus. Only downside is I thought it was a bit short. Not a fan of the level cap also.

    This is an amazing game however the port version to switch is a buggy mess and the frame rate continues to drop.

    Fun game! Decent port, gets a bit rough during intense combat situations. However if this is your only chance to play it, its definitely worth it!

    Great game! Online order process with Best Buy was seamless, just bring your ID to the store and show it to the online dept and they bring your game out right away! Great if you don't want to spend time in the store.

    I thought Best Buy would take their time sending their products to their consumers... but that all changed when I made my first purchase with this game!!! I love how committed they are when sending products to their consumers!!!

    Not quite as good as new Vegas was but definitely scratches the itch with more.modern controls. And space themed.

    Amazing they got this game to run on the switch. The graphics aren't as sharp, but still a great game.

    The game reminds me of Fallout, but I actually expected to be kind of a rip off. Its a pretty large world with tons of interactive elements. The "flaw" system is pretty dope, and the combat is pretty fun. =]
