More than just Fallout in space, this action-RPG is a delightful sci-fi romp with razor-sharp writing, lashings of humour and enough content to entertain you for months.
The Outer Worlds is the Bethesda RPG you always wanted, but it's not made by Bethesda. This is one of the finest RPG experiences that let you take complete control of your storyline, and it's one hell of a ride.

A very wonderful and fun game. It has its own way to play, and the quality is legendary. The dialogues and choices in the story are very great. A game similar to Fallout, but it is very great.

I think anybody that enjoyed playing the Fallout games, as well as anyone that has enjoyed the Mass Effect titles, would unequivocally enjoy their time playing The Outer Worlds. I had so much fun exploring every nook and cranny, scouring out-of-the-way locations for loot, taking everything that wasn’t nailed down, and immersing myself in the otherworldy locations around Halcyon.
While a bit safe in design, The Outer World offers a well imagined new world with great writing, crazy characters & politics, 30 well-packed hours with tons of replayability and a sublime background texture of Easter eggs, tributes and well crafted jokes.
An out-of-this-world adventure
that, for better and worse, feels
far from alien, even if you’ve
been frozen for a few years.
The familiar done well and then
some. [Issue#169, p.85]
Fallout similarities are distracting, but get into The Outer Worlds’ narrative meat and a more distinctive adventure emerges.
It’s safe, but very welcoming. I can even see it developing into sequels if Microsoft chooses to support it and the fans embrace it, which I have no doubt will happen – some games are just made to cosplay. For those that were disappointed with Fallout 76 going online multiplayer, this is the single-player RPG you’ve been looking for. If you’re hankering for somewhere you can while away the hours talking shit, chuckling and prodding at the locals, you won’t be disappointed.
OMG!!! Bioshock+Fallout in open world! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

A game I am reviewing in retrospect, but the further I get away from, the more Im disappointed in. There is so much in this game to truly love. The setting and the characters, particularly, are a lot of fun. The world building is fantastic, and everything about the writing is what youve come to expect from a studio with the reputation of Obsidian.
However, its...very shallow. Lack of real side missions, no end game play (once you finish the final mission its over), lack of customization in armor, weapons, and enemy variety really hurt it. (also, regardless of your build, the final Boss, such that it is, can only be beaten with short range attacks, so good luck if your a sniper build). This is a world that I wish I couldve poured hundreds of hours into, like many have with Fallout New Vegas, but after a dozen hours and one story play thorugh I felt like Id done everything the game had to offer.

A safe, mechanically sound, and good looking game, but is is missing the fun and story you would expect and need to keep it engaging. Not bad for a playthrough, but could have been so much better.

I really hate this game. I hate games with excessive multi-choice dialogue options. It's so boring, and the combat is pretty boring, too.

The game is painfully unfun. If you think Fallout is a fetch quest heavy game, get ready for this. Loading screens that make ps3 skyrim looking snappy. Allies are either boring, cringe or even more stupid Rick Sanchez.

Lost in transit while on a colonist ship bound for the furthest edge of the galaxy, you awake decades later only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy the Halcyon colony.
