    This is easily one of the best games of 2019 but I could be biased as I was excited for a new Obsidian game. The environment is amazing and one of the reasons I enjoy playing games, for the immersion. The gameplay is straight forward and pretty solid, no weird glitches so far. You just have to get it as 4k ks just beautiful on these types of game art, i may get a second one for the PC just to run it at 144hz.

    The Outer Worlds allows you a lot of freedom to play whatever style you choose. The gameplay is pretty tight and it's very bug-free.

    Game is a bit buggy but it’s got that Fallout-like vibe pre 4 & 76. It’s a good game that you can get lost in for hours playing.

    I like that u can choose your battles This due to the opportunity to persuade instead of starting bloodshed. That being said the weapons are fun and battling mantisaurs is a thrill This is for people that don't have to have the challenge of pvp Mix diplomacy Politics Brutal combat, futuristic anachronisms and strange brightly colored landscapes and there you have outer worlds I've only completed part of the game and there is more to it than what I've said but I will say I'm hooked

    Amazing game that reminds me a lot of Fallout New Vegas. My only knock against the game is that fast travel map leads you to believe there are more places to explore than there really are in the current version of the game. It is cool that these places will be available in an future expansion, but I was disappointed to get to the end of the game and find out they weren’t play able. It makes the game fill smaller that New Vegas. But I would still recommend it.

    Fallout meets Firefly

    I'm about 20 hours in to game play at this point. The game is relatively linear and limits your exploration to a certain point. I will say that once you find a good long gun and figure out sneaking, combat does become a bit easier. While it is fun to slam doors on AI critters, it does make combat a bit simple. Really though, most of the characters to me have a Firefly kind of vibe. I will say it's one of the prettier Fallout-esque games I've ever played, especially in 4K.

    There's a category of games I think of as Saturday morning cartoon games. They lack depth, but they are fluffy and easy to enjoy. As I look back on some screenshots as Pippin laser blasts a poor marauder into a pile of dust, I realise that's what The Outer Worlds is to me. If you meet it on those terms, I think you'll enjoy it.

    Mass Effect Meets Fallout

    My favorite game is Mass Effect 2. I asked my boyfriend which newer game would I like. He suggested The Outer Worlds and I absolutely love it. In my opinion, it's the kid that Mass Effect and Fallout would have together. Also, I got it on xbone in case anyone finds that important.

    The original studio behind Fallout New Vegas fail to disappoint. It has some excellent RPG mechanics, with plenty of quality content packed throughout the game for you to enjoy. It might not be as huge as Skyrim, but it has quality over quantity. Fans of Fallout New Vegas will definitely enjoy, as will fans of RPGs in general.

    I really enjoy this game as it gives the player lots of choices in how you want to play the game. People familiar with Fallout New Vegas will recognize similarities with this game as it's produced by the same developer Obsidian. Not a 150 hour massive epic, however still offers good value and plenty of game time.

    This is a great sci-fi RPG with major fallout vibes though definitely in a more vibrant universe. It has many ways to play and interesting characters to meet and interact with. The storyline is interesting, funny and provocative. Definitely recommend to anyone into fallout and RPGs

    Excellent game, enjoying it as of now. All the suspense, maneuvers and training rolled into one. Realistic grafts along with figures. Now waiting patiently for the new Rust to come out on xbox1. But this game will definitely keep me occupied until then.

    bethesda's last two games were a mess ( the ones before this one i mean). but this game has put them back into the radar. the game is dark, its funny, its pretty long and a big open world. seriously pick up this game and enjoy the humor of it
