    For the RPG, story telling elements alone I’d recommend it… for being set in space it gets bonus points… for being just a well fleshed out world that is quite striking to look at and to inhabit it gets a hearty recommendation. If you like RPG’s then this is definitely worth checking out!

    The Outer Worlds: Peril On Gorgon is story DLC done right. It builds and expands on the existing world while providing a fun, meaty new narrative for fans to dig into. It doesn't address all of the issues players had with The Outer Worlds at launch, but that doesn't stop Peril On Gorgon from being a worthy addition to Obsidian's spacefaring RPG.

    The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon adds an engaging new story to The Outer Worlds. The new content, save for the new location to explore, doesn’t change up the formula too much but that’s absolutely fine. With a game like The Outer Worlds more of the same is a good thing. The new story content seamlessly weaves into the main story and feels like a natural extension of what was already there. The time to complete The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon is enough where it feels like a worthwhile extension but doesn’t overstay its welcome and is the perfect reason to get back into The Outer Worlds.

    Peril on Gorgon is simply more Outer Worlds. It feels like a natural addition and fits right in with the rest of the game, while offering a slightly different tone in terms of story. The main quest is lengthy and replayable, but there’s not much in terms of side quests or gear.

    The first DLC therefore appears capable of offering fans of The Outer Worlds what they needed: a pleasant excuse to return to visit the system of Alcione.

    Peril on Gorgon is an entertainingly substantial chunk of The Outer Worlds content, with a handful of side-quests that will keep you poking around the planet until you’ve seen every inch. It may not push the envelope, but it’s good, clean, corporation-crushing fun. And it’s made me eager to see just what the The Outer Worlds’ next expansion will bring.

    Players who are looking for more The Outer Worlds will likely be happy with Peril on Gorgon, but people who were hoping for something as dramatic and deadly as Fallout: New Vegas' DLC offerings like Dead Money or Lonesome Road may be left wanting. It's a great addition to a quality title, but it's not different enough to justify the separation from the main game's story, and overall Peril on Gorgon feels more like a side quest which could have been easily included in the original version of The Outer Worlds rather than costing players an extra $14.99 USD.

Es wird nicht direktDas ist ein echt starkes DLC, die Atmosphäre ist sehr nice, es erzählt eine gute Story und hat einen gerade Faden. Es wird nicht direkt weniger Wert auf Dialoge gelegt sondern mehr auf entscheidende Dialoge, die sind dann einfach länger als im Hauptspiel dafür gibt es nicht so ultra viele und man hat dadurch längere Gameplay Passagen, was mir sehr gut gefällt.… Expand

    Добротное DLC, не уровень дополнений к третьему Ведьмаку, но и лучше того, что выходило к фоллауту, в том числе и к Нью-Вегасу, какой хорошейДобротное DLC, не уровень дополнений к третьему Ведьмаку, но и лучше того, что выходило к фоллауту, в том числе и к Нью-Вегасу, какой хорошей не казалась бы Одинокая Дорога. То, что монстры отличаются только способностями, конечно, огорчает, да и реюз всех врагов в принципе, но я все же играю не ради врагов в рпг, а все кроме них меня устроло. Дополнение на уровне Монарха из основной игры, но с более интересной географией. Если бы не постоянный респавн врагов, то можно было бы спокойно ходить пешком в поисках чего-то нового. Прошел за менее, чем 10 часов, квестов не хватило все-таки, да и те, что были в основном были завязяны на формуле "найди-принеси", но основные задания своей историей затянули слегка даже, новые локации для основной карты, что заставляет не сидеть на месте — крайне хорошее решение, ибо как только начала надоедать эта кислотная обстановка — сразу выгоняют в другие локации, где открываются ранее недоступные места. В целом, мне понравилось, но не более, чем остальная игра. Рутинность перестрелок в dlc c особо крепкими врагами начинает сказываться на ощущениях, как никогда ранее. Да и лута полезного слишком много, некуда тратить все равно так, что ощущалось выгодным, а не переплатой.… Expand

Game itself wasnt by far rich enough to be fine with just story. No extra addition to current stuff which was pretty lacking by itself.

    In short: Worth playing, not worth big praise though.    … Expand
