Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the fun gameplay, witty dialogue, and humorous story in The Outer Worlds. Many also appreciate the game's open world and the opportunity for exploration. While some players noted minor technical issues and occasional long loading times, these concerns appear to be relatively infrequent. Overall, the positive feedback on the core gameplay mechanics and narrative outweighs the negative comments.

    This is a great game if you are into storytelling only. I did not enjoy how the game felt, all weapons feel the same. This would be a better game if it were only decision making like telltale games

    I was expecting more from all of the hype, but feels like fallout and every other open world game made by Bethesda. Not a huge fan. Ppl will probably disagree, but wasn’t worth the hype.

    Playable but far from being an "open world" game. Play areas very limited in size. If you are expecting the game to be similar to the "trailers" you will be very disappointed. You've been warned.

    I'd love to leave a review, and I'm sure it's a great game, but It's been sitting at some random post office for a week and I had to send them an email. This is not bestbuys fault or the games. However, they offered me 25 pts to do a review, so until the game comes and I play it this is what you get.

    Terrible - took the worst aspects of all these games and just kept going with them. Uninspiring (and pointless) story, boring loot, lackluster writing and stories. Got 25 hours in or so and just couldn't keep punishing myself like that.

    A game that can't decide what tone it wants or what point it wants to make, just curmudgeonly insisting despite it all that actually the past was better

    Bottom line: If you love Fallout, you’ll love this game. I don’t have the time and patience to spend with an RPG. It bored me to shreds.

    Expansive, addicting open world 1st person shooter

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Awesome game set in a beautiful world! Took me a little bit to get used to a 1st person POV only, but it's well worth the work. Gorgeous worlds and a deep story, combined with near limitless options as far as character customization and play progression, make for enticing gameplay. I think about this game when I'm not playing, more than any other game. Can't wait for a sequel!

    A nice little Fallout knockoff

    Just beat the game and it’s a solid 8 out of 10. If you got the patience to wait for a sale then do it. You’re not missing anything. Didn’t like the fact it just copied everything Fallout did just in outer space. That’s just lazy and really lame. Do your own thing don’t remix someone else’s idea. I still enjoyed it and beat it fairly quickly.

    PS4 Pro "Enhanced"

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This review is not a knock on the game one bit, its actually a really great game so for that I'll give it 5 stars. My complaint about it is that Microsoft has their grimy little fingers all over this release. What I mean is that unless you play this on a xbox one x, you wont experience it in 4K resolution but a upscaled version of it. So whether you choose to play on a base PS4 or PS4 Pro its the same thing. Even on the back of the case there is no usual indicator that says "PS4 Pro Enhanced". Here is a direct quote from Private Division, "It includes 4K textures and resolution on Xbox One X and PC, and upsamples to 4K from 1440p on PS4 Pro. " So use your best judgement on which platform you choose to play this.

    confusion

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Everything you read is way to small at the bottom of the game, hard to know what to do and where to go. The whole game as you play it is very confusing, you can't sit on any chairs. $69 game should only be worth $19. If you get it as a gift trade it in for any other game.
