Overview

Description

The Outer Worlds is an award-winning single-player first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division. In The Outer Worlds, you awake from hibernation on a colonist ship that was lost in transit to Halcyon, the furthest colony from Earth located at the edge of the galaxy, only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy it. As you explore the furthest reaches of space and encounter various factions, all vying for power, the character you decide to become will determine how this player-driven story unfolds. In the corporate equation for the colony, you are the unplanned variable.

Game is a great alternative to fallout. In fact its pretty much fallout in space. Graphics arent anything to awe about compared to dedicated home consoles. Its more about the convience of being able to play almost AAA games on the go. Great game!

A great title for the Switch. It's basically Fallout in space and there are lots of different paths and possibilities for the story. Lots of value here.

If you're looking for something similar to Fallout that's playable in a portable form, The Outer Worlds is for you. Although it definitely looks better on other systems, I enjoyed picking this up for Switch so I could play it on my TV or on the go. Like Fallout, quests can be completed in different ways that impact which factions you can work with and ultimately side with. Definitely worth checking out, even if it's not as good as the series it resembles.

This is a great game for those looking for a Fallout-esque type experience! While the graphics are. A bit downgraded from more powerful consoles, it performs great and is quite engaging. The fact that a game of this size could fit on the Switch is truly an achievement! Recommended!

I got this after the patch and it runs pretty well. Still has some framerate issues occasionally (I finished the game and it happened <5 times) and the graphics aren't top tier but this is the Switch, not a tricked out PC. If those things bother you, stick with the PC version. However, if you're not picky about those things, more concerned about portability, and are looking to scratch that Fallout itch then I highly recommend the Switch version. The game is a bit shorter than I expected though. I took about 45 hours according to my Switch and I did almost everything. I got it 50% so it was worth it at that price.

This game was a ton of fun and has a lot of funny moments. If you like the Fallout games, you will enjoy this one just as much. I did take off one star because it was oddly short and also had planets shown, but you couldn't visit any of them, which didn't make any sense.
