Good game with frame rate issues here and there, that's almost expected with open world games on switch but I think people know what they're getting when they combine the two together. Was a joy to go through nonetheless!

A graphically intensive and fun game, but performance is a little slow on the switch. Would recommend enjoying this on another playform

The game was great on PS4, however, the switch version is pretty bad port. I’m giving 4 stars for the base game, but the switch version is a poor port. If you can’t get on PS4, then get on switch

If you're looking for something similar to Fallout that's playable in a portable form, The Outer Worlds is for you. Although it definitely looks better on other systems, I enjoyed picking this up for Switch so I could play it on my TV or on the go. Like Fallout, quests can be completed in different ways that impact which factions you can work with and ultimately side with. Definitely worth checking out, even if it's not as good as the series it resembles.

I’ve seen a lot of complaints for how the game runs, but I’ve had zero issues. Yes the quality dips in handheld, but it’s not egregious. If you’re a fan of Fallout, particularly New Vegas, I highly recommend.

Great game at a great deal. For the game being so cheap. I was expecting it to be a short game, simple game. But, it is not.. It is enjoyable and fun. Great story

Amazing. This game is basically Fallout in space. Tons of pick ups, looting, customizing. Great story and gameplay. Plus it's nice to see some more FPS games come to the switch

An excellent game, played on Xbox one and found it on sale at Best Buy and had to have it for the Nintendo Switch. Good graphics and detailed story with consequences.

This is basically a love letter to the fallout new vegas. It ends up being fallout lite - a fun romp through this distant solar system. If you loved new vegas but don’t like all the complexities, I mean, features in the later games then this is the game for you.
Worth $20, wouldn’t spend more money than that.

It's a really fun game if you are a big fan of the fallout new Vegas kinda games. The story is pretty good and having to make choices impact the games ending, from working for the man or helping people. There aren't a lot of customization for character creation but it gives you more character characteristics that help give you an advantage. I enjoyed the game.

This is a great game for those looking for a Fallout-esque type experience! While the graphics are. A bit downgraded from more powerful consoles, it performs great and is quite engaging. The fact that a game of this size could fit on the Switch is truly an achievement! Recommended!

This is the first game we have for our Nintendo Switch that's not really a family game, that's a very different universe than the ones we're used to. However, I had a good time with the story and the game itself, still a lot of things to discover and get better at.

The Gameplay is great. If you enjoyed New Vegas the humor then you'll like this. I only got this cause I can play this game on the go. Yeah, there some texture popping here or there, but I have the Switch Lite and it really doesn't bother me. I care more about gameplay then graphics. So far, I haven't had any issues with the game crashing at all.

Great game. If you are an open world game lover such as Fallout 4 and the like - you should love this game. So many quests and side quests. I had already purchased it for Xbox but haven't had much time to play it. When it was released on the switch....I knew I had to have it. I did have to increase the dialog captioning size as it is pretty small on that little screen. Or my eyes are old. :-) Great port over. I would definitely recommend it if its your type of game.

Some frame rate drops compared to Xbox One X but that is to be expected. The handhold mode makes this game worth it for me. I love to play this right before bed so I do not disturb the wife.
I bought this at 29.99 and would have gladly paid 50 dollars for this title. I would wait for a sale because 60 is pretty steep for a third party title that has been out for a while.
