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!

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 is amazing and the closest thing at this moment and time to fallout for the Nintendo switch console. The graphics aren't bad at all and the game is highly playable. It just feels so good to take a game like this anywhere with you. Ofcorse there will be mixed reviews and this is a specific category of game so to each their own, but I like it a lot! I feel so space age playing it on the go.

I wanted to play this game when it originally came out on other platforms but I didn’t have a good enough computer, or an Xbox or PlayStation, so when I found out it was coming to Switch I was stoked. Reading reviews I knew what to expect from it as far as graphics and performance as it is a port, and honestly? Didn’t care. Getting to play this game anywhere I want is a sacrifice I will make, I don’t need everything to look hyperrealistic. I like a good story, and this game has a lot of story options and customization.

Pretty great Sci-fi game. Don't expect great graphics thought. They are good but not great. You're buying this game for the Story telling and RPG parts. That is what's great and in a handheld form. If you are expecting the graphics to be Xbox or PS4 quality then you will be disappointed.

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.
