I agree with everything

Props to Greed23 for review:

Ok, I'm sorry, this is not what I wanted to be writing.

I wanted to like this game, I really did, but it's an *average* game at *best.*

-AI is subpar, enemies are boiled down to two types: Charge at you in the open or stand out in the open and shoot at you.
-AI is subpar, companions die often on supernova because they charge at the enemy or stand out in the open with 10% HP.
-Combat is okay, movement is fluid and rather fun to slow time mid-air and pop enemies in the head- unfortunately, this is severely handicapped by the extremely lacking variety of weapons and armor.
-Dialogue can be downright great sometimes; However at other points overused cliches and one-dimensional characters left me rolling my eyes and, unfortunately, I found myself mashing spacebar because sometimes NPCs just go on far too long with their single character traits.
-Quests are fairly bog standard fetch quests with dialogue checks.
-The perks/skills system is pretty vapid and shallow, meaning you're less of roleplaying and more of deciding which single stat you want to boost on your character- And I mean that even for perks; One perk lets you increase walk speed, one lets you increase sprint speed, one increeases base HP, one increases carry weight, Etc.
-The whole game just feels hollow, like the game became corporate branding the game tried to mock, and its really offputting. Might be more your speed if you like MMOs and are fine with grinding and pulling aggro from single targets until you lead them away from their pack, who all return to the same spots after they lose you. (Again, AI is bad.)

-Finally, my biggest issue is that the game feels incredibly disjointed. For a game that takes place on frontier worlds where there should be vast expanses of wilderness to explore, everything feels incredibly condensed. Obsidian should've considered giving the player a vehicle to control and drastically expand distances between points of interest to give the worlds an actual feeling of connectivity and adventure- As it stands it feels like you're visiting run-down southern towns with only half the buildings functioning but all still standing, and it really takes away from what should be an adventure on a wild frontier.

It seems as though Obsidian's game design philosophy has only changed to make the game a more cinematic experience. Unfortunately, this means that (perhaps coincidentally, considering Outer Worlds' aesthetics) it feels more like a watered down Bioshock title with a little more humor and dialogue, but none of the tightly constructed narrative.

Now, the elephant in the room: This is not the Bethesda killer I was hoping it would be. I was already sketched out when they took the Epic exclusive, but I decided not to spoiler anything and play it when it came out on steam. I can say I am wholly disappointed. This game is no Fallout: New Vagas or Skyrim; Hell, this barely scrapes somewhere between Fallout 76 and Fallout 4, but with less bugs. (Credit where credits due: I had some audio glitches every now and then, but the game was relatively bug free).

Amazing game, started playing since the 1.8 update. Since then i have 200 hours and the game is just huge, you have differents types of builds and gearsets you can play your own playstyle and grind as much as you want, you have different types of missions and modes both pve and pvp, For PvP you have skirmishies , last stand and a mix of pvp with pve survival and darkzone. For PvE you have missions with different difficulties, incursions, underground, resistance, side missions encounters , and the darkzone with landmarks and survival. With 1.8 they added the global events which makes the game even more interesting and makes the grind for gearsets even more easier. So this game is fun both with friends or alone. The enviroment open world in NY is glorious and beautiful. Have Fun!!!

"Too repetetive and suprisingly too crowdy on those wastelands. Everything looks same.
Not a bad game just not a great one either."
