Great RPG with consequence based decisions. However, the fetch missions get really old, really fast. Not enough diversity in side quests, basically the same thing over and over. Compelling main quest, lackluster side quests. Hoping for quality dlc down the road.

If you liked the fallout series you will like this game. Hop from planet to planet solvin problems while on your mission quest. A robot here and there, laser and plasma weapons, and a grenade launcher. How could you go wrong. But it, play it, you’ll like it.

Where Fallout 76 Failed, Outer Worlds Prevails

I love the Fallout series and I want to continue loving it, but I knew from Fallout 76's announcement it would be a total disaster. Obsidian on the other hand knows what we really want from a RPG. If you like Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Skyrim then you will like this game. Obsidian knows their stuff and it shows.
What keeps this game from getting a full 5 stars is the graphical quality. This is a 2019 game that looks like a 2012 game. The textures are just not up to par with the current standard. Another small complaint I have is the lack of 3rd person. Many may disagree with that being a problem, but it felt so weird to be in an open world RPG limited to first perosn.

This game is great! The writing is very charming and notably better than most in its genre. I was particularly pleasantly surprised by some of the more tender moments in the game that I wouldn't expect from this genre. The storytelling is great, plot is interesting, and gameplay is super fun. Plays a lot like Fallout games, but smaller scope, much less glitchy, and more polished. Only thing is the graphics could be a bit better; models and textures aren't too top notch on the Xbox One. That said, it definitely didn't get in the way of enjoying the game!

This is very similar to Fallout 3. It is a bit more linear and more story driving. I highly recommend this game.

This game awesome. I'm a fan of Fallout and though this is not an open world, the play style is similar. Furthermore, the game is gorgeous. The world is colorful. I did notice a drop in framerates that occur quite often, but this didn't distract me from the gameplay.
After playing this game, I can't help but wonder when gamers will see another single player, open world game with similar game style.

I picked this up after finishing Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order and I have to say, I’m not disappointed at all with this game. It blends the comedy and quirkiness of Borderlands and Bioshock and it adds in customization and gameplay of fallout”minus the vat system” . It appeals to all sorts of gamers whether you’re into shooters, RPGs, action/adventure there’s something for everyone. Give this game a shot you won’t be disappointed.

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.

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.
