    While this isn’t an overly long game, it was a fun play through and I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Fallout 3 or 4.

    Not the best looking port but the game itself play fine. I think with a couple of patches the game will be live up to its hype.

    This version of The Outer Worlds is a nice addition for anyone that is looking to play this on the Switch. There is a lower resolution on the backgrounds than on PS4, but nothing that will hurt the experience.

    Super fun game... on the Xbox. The Switch port needs a serious update when referring to graphics. I can't even tell the difference between and enemy with a gun and a tree. Hopefully a patch is coming soon, because right now it is almost unplayable. Hit up Xbox game pass where it is included, until the Switch gets an update.

    Note: Playing story mode is playing on easy. Super easy. Still working through story mode, but can’t wait to play on Supernova! It’s super fun, kind of sad, worth your time.

    The graphic are muddy and the level of environment detail has been scaled back in comparison to other versions of this game. Based on the improvements that modders have been able to achieve by over clocking the switch, I would think that the the issues with the game could be “fixed” to an acceptable degree with a future patch. With all of this said the game is incredibly fun and entertaining. The dialog is great, the gun play is fun, and .... there’s a shrink ray!

    Vast graphically beautiful lands. Tons of lore and weapons. Lots of replay-ability. Great personalities of AI. Doesn't lag or overheat unless its been past 6 hours of game play in one sitting.
