    Obsidian really hit it out of the park with this one. This brings back old RPG nostalgia. More dialogue options and conversations than recent Fallout games. Obsidian used their experience with New Vegas to build this game. Would highly recommend! Plus, it looks amazing. What are you waiting for?

    Very pleasantly surprised by this one! The positive reviews were on point. Great humor, fun world,cool weapons and a cast of characters. Only downside was the long load times for too many check points. Even entering a building in a area you are already in! I can forgive it with the quality of the rest of the game.

    I bought this game for my boyfriend who is a very enthusiastic RPG gamer. He loved it and plays for hours. At times, I'll watch him play and it truly does look like a ton of fun. There's an actual story line that takes place and the graphics are all too clear to be a simple video game.

    If you enjoy these types games you're going to enjoy this one. Excellent graphics with plenty to explore. Game play is nearly seamless with the exception of load times moving from world to world. Obsidian made a gem here. No regrets buying this game as it's worth every penny.

    I read plenty of reviews about this being very similar to Fallout's glory days and it hasn't disappointed. I have Fallout and could not get invested in it but have been playing this game heavily. Has been very enjoyable, offers a lot and I have yet to find anything overly disappointing.

    Fallout New Vegas with Better Graphics and AI

    This game is extremely fun so far. I also agree with the devs this will have replay-ability because you'll want to try new skill trees or do things differently. Reminds me of Fallout New Vegas with revamped graphics and better weapons/choices and looks. The followers seem to have more to them too as opposed to Fallout New Vegas.

    If you like Fallout, Bioshock, and other similar games, you will love this one! Same game mechanics, same open world gameplay, same immersive storyline with lots of choices and results. Graphics are amazing - no glitches so far! My only complaint is, just like with similar games, you kind of have to avoid the main storyline and find all the sidequests if you want to make the game last. Otherwise you will blow through the whole game in a couple days. Replayability is very high though, with different character builds and dialogue choices throught the game. I'm looking forward to DLCs that will extend gameplay!

    If you didn't know, this game was made by the same company that originally created Fallout back in the day. They also made Fallout New Vegas. They do not disappoint with this title either! Great game with so many choices to make in the story line, and great combat.

    Great game, definitely worth playing through at least once. It's not anything game changing but that's not a bad thing. I recommend paying attention to lore and reading terminals and dialogue as you can steam roll through it but it's worth digging into the story.

    Brilliant game. I’ll be re-playing eventually. One of the best RPGs I’ve played. Some similarities to fallout but in space (and no building settlements). Good balance of action, story, and comedy. I couldn’t stop playing.

    This is a fantastic game! I played it and beat it and then got said I finished it because I wanted to play more! If you like fallout new Vegas and fallout 3, this is the game for you! I also love the space theme and the plot of the story is well written and has some great laughs throughout it!

    Great start so far. Intricate system, the story really knows how to immerse you. Probably something about the first person and all for $40?! Definitely support this single story driven game. We need more on the market. Definite grab!

    This is a great game. If you enjoy the fallout games before this last mess they made, you’ll love The Outer World’s. Enjoy the storyline. Very clever writing. Hilarious! A must have!

    Fallout like gameplay but better with the absurdist humor of Futurama for quite the enjoyable fun time. With fast gun play and great cast of supporting characters to keep you company through this absurd adventure.

    As Close to a Firefly Game as We're Likely to Get

    You play as a somewhat nefarious space pirate, rounding up a crew of ne'er do wells on a mission for profit and--maybe--the greater good. You aim to misbehave. It's Firefly the game...or at least as close as we're likely to get. The art direction is stellar, the combat is frenetic, and the characters are as wild and wacky as you'd ever want in a space romp. It feels equal parts Fallout and The Expanse, with a much less dire long game. This is an outrageously fun and funny game. The characters are each deep and interesting, the quests are varied and unique, and the gameplay is constantly fun. I highly recommend.

    This is by far the best game ever made, it’s a game where you can play as you will. It takes itself seriously and it’s a fun, SMART GAME! Imagine if fallout new Vegas had a child with borderlands, and you get the idea.

    If you enjoy the fallout series then pick this up. It is done by the same studio who did fallout new vegas on previous systems. Not as buggy as fallout games and has a decent story. It's also not as long which may help those intimidated by longer games.
