The Outer Worlds - Xbox One [Digital]

I bought The Outer Worlds because of what I have heard about Fallout New Vegas. Obsidian are the designers of FONV and so far the game hasn’t let me down. Love the companions and the fact that you can take two of them with you not to mention their smarty pants remarks. So far great story and you sometimes don’t know if you have made the correct choice. I believe that Obsidian has a great contender for Game of the year. Great job to the Obsidian team.

This is a fantastic game. The common comparison is to Fallout but I think that's really just people drawing the line between it and Obsidian's last major title. This game is far more similar to the classic space RPG Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Conversations feel natural and well-structured, characters are compelling, varied, and have their own depth and personality that make them feel like real people. The story (at least to the point I've played) is fun and engaging with clever writing, head-scratching conundrums, and far more giggles than you'd expect. Gunplay is well-crafted, feels balanced and provides several types of weapon or damage to optimize your attack to each encounter. Graphics (on Xbox One X), while sometimes muddy on less-important or distant objects, are great overall and enhance the immersion of this first-person locked game. FPS is steady and smooth with few hiccups. All in all the only issues I've had center around a clunky, sometimes hard to understand menu system and controls limited by the platform. Three functions on X that can't be rebound is too many, I don't want to get my gun out every time I talk to somebody, change regions, or open doors. In conclusion : if a romp in space with new friends along the way and plenty of people to shoot, make peace with, or swindle along the way sounds like your kind of game - give this one a shot!

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.

This is the game we should have had instead of fallout 76. Really fun reminds me of Fall Out: New Vegas. Worth 20 dollars and some fun hours of your time.

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.

The Outer Worlds was a game I didn't know that I wanted...no...that I NEEDED. Its a first person shooter with heavy RPG elements, you liked Fallout: New Vegas? Same people made this. This game pretty much shows that Obsidian deserves you take notice of them as a player in the video game industry. The writing is what sets this game apart, I missed the banter between my squad mates that Mass Effect gave me. I missed doing side quests to help my squad mates in things to better their lives. Don't worry Parvati, I'll get you that date with the woman you're crushing on. I've recommended this game to many people, friends, family, a random passerby on the street, and now I recommend it to you who is reading this. Get the Outer Worlds, if you enjoy smart writing, fun gameplay and meaningful choices, you won't regret it.

Awesome game for the price. Graphics are very good. The plot is very well thought out. it will keep you busy for hours and hours.

This is a good game from the makers of Fallout New Vegas. Very similar to those types of games, even down to the ganeplay. I would easily recommend it to anyone who likes those games.
