I’ve been playing this nonstop for days now. It’s really fun to customize your character and experience the many story branches.
Now this version is not as sharp or detailed as the PS4 or PC but having it on the go is just awesome. I can’t believe I get to play such epic games on my little switch lite.

I'm glad they ported this to the switch. It has excellent gameplay and the graphics are decent. Sure they aren't as good as the PC and PS4 versions, but this game never had graphics like Skyrim and the switch doesn't have the power of other systems. It great to be able to play it handheld.

I picked this game up for $20, I bought it at that price point unfamiliar about the loss in graphics I would be getting by sacrificing and playing it on the switch. Looking back I'm glad that I bought it at that price point although I plan on selling it and playing a much better port of it like the Steam Deck that is more powerful graphically.
Don't get me wrong the game itself is a lot of fun and I highly recommend it what I don't recommend is this port. At that price you can most definitely play this game on a different platform and have a WAYY better experience.

First of all, this game is great. The humor, gameplay, RPG elements are all what you would expect out of an Obsidian game. However, the technical adaptations they made to port this game to the Switch does show. It’s playable but not very pretty.

I’ve been holding off on getting outer worlds for the Nintendo switch because of bad reviews about the graphics on the switch,I finally got the game for $20 at Best Buy,and I have to say I am pleased with it,the graphics are equally as good as the ps4,not as good as the Xbox one x but for a Nintendo switch it’s really good

Great game for the switch. They did an excellent job porting this over to the switch. The game is very stable and runs well. It is a lot of fun to play on the switch. The graphics look really good on the screen and makes for an excellent experience.

Solid game, with the newest patch it fixes a handful of graphical issues that halted me from purchasing before now. Still a little muddy with typical switch pop in, but the gameplay is still solid. If you have another means of playing this, I would aim for that instead. If switch is your only option, then you're still getting a great playing game.

Great game, lots of stuff to do and gun to find. Really sells you on the world with great characters. Graphics are a little weak due to it being on the switch but I wouldn't let that disway you if your interested. Also runs pretty well and there's dlc to boot!

This seems to be a really good rpg so far. It has all the tropes covered. I haven't had a lot of time with it but it's definitely the type of game I can sink my teeth into. I can't not recommend it.

I haven’t played too far in the game but from what I did play it reminds me a lot like borderlands and I enjoyed that game so I’m sure I’ll like this one equally. It’s got some sense of humor and action from what I experienced.

Fantastic game however it is better on the ps4/ps5 or Xbox one/ series s & x. It's very short as well no where near how long fallout new Vegas is.

This is the closest that we are going to get to Fallout on Switch. It is from the people who did New Vegas actually. I am lucky that I got it when I did because it recently got a patch that I hear makes it look a lot better than it did before. I just got it, but I enjoy it. I'm going to go for the idiot run. Wish me luck.

Had a lot of fun and it’s great To be able to play this anywhere on handheld. Yes the graphics are slightly degraded from the other consoles and Performance can stutter a bit and slower loading times but otherwise enjoyable and just great to have it as a portable option

Skyrim in Space, for better and worse

If all you've ever wanted was Skyrim but in Space, look no further. If you left Skyrim half way after realizing that the game is a grand, beautiful world filled with fetch quests, The Outer Worlds is likely to feel the same way. I played for a while, wondering if I was having fun, and then was horrified to see I had played for TWENTY FOUR HOURS. I played some more and then it was FORTY HOURS. Is this good? I don't know. It's certainly an impressive and technically well made game, but I don't think I need that in my life and I put it away, probably for good.

This product is a good game for the system. It is much improved after the most recent patch. But it is still not the same as on other systems, But then again, you can't take other systems with you.
