The Outer Worlds review
by Graham Kaletsky

My biggest complaint is that it's too short, which is almost an endorsement

I’m sure men love this game because they love meaningless tasks regardless of how fun they are but I will never pick this back up. Regretful purchase despite large sale and dropped at 16 hrs

Bought on ps4 and then it hit gamepass soon after, rip.

Anyways, I really enjoyed the time I had with this game. Not quite as long or as deep as I would've liked, but what's here is very good. Worth noting that on base ps4 there were notable performance issues, though.

Looking forward to going back for the DLC. 
Very good RPG. Rough around the edges on some parts but it’s humor and charm make it an enjoyable experience with a nice sci-fi coat of paint. 
the action is béad really bad that could be supportable if the writting was at least enjoyable intriging or something

It's a great looking game with well thought out planets and cities to visit. The side missions and crew interactions are neat. The dialogue hilarious and cute. Plenty of discoverable lore to flesh out the world too. The combat is fun with lots of weapons to whet your whistle and match your preferred playstyle. The story line hooks you in right from the start! But unfortunately it then lets the line sink back into the water and you slowly drag yourself into the lacklustre end phase of the game. 

I really wanted this one to stick the landing as it does SO much so well. It was like they ran out of time or ideas? It felt so much bigger than it ended up being. The weird culmination at the end where you assault on the base, interspersed with groups of people you've met arriving and helping (which you didn't ask for? did they miss a section?) then to finish with a boring bullet sponge of an enemy which was frustrating to fight if you happened to bring the wrong load out in with you. 

My disappointment isn't enough for me to rate the game lower than 'Recommended' though. It's still got a lot going for it. But it keeps it from being an exceptional game for me.

A bit limited in some areas but overall a good experience.
9/10

A strong RPG seriously hemmed in by sparse, barren environments. Rather than spreading thin resources over several forgettable planets, the game would have been better served by a single lushly detailed setting.
