About
The Outer Worlds 2 is the eagerly-awaited sequel to the award-winning first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment (just look at the exciting number of dashes in this sentence!). Time to clear your calendar – get ready for an action-packed adventure with a new crew, new weapons, and new enemies in a new colony! So much newness!
As a daring and most likely good-looking Earth Directorate agent, you must uncover the source of devastating rifts threatening to destroy all of humanity. Your investigation leads to Arcadia, home of skip drive technology, where the fate of the colony, and ultimately the entire galaxy, rests on your decisions—your strengths, your flaws, your crew, and the factions you choose to trust.
The Arcadia colony is engulfed in a factional war, as the Protectorate’s so-called benevolent rule is challenged by the rebellion of their religious order and a corporate invasion. As destructive rifts spread across the colony, each faction fights to control or close them for their own ends. Navigate diverse zones, uncover hidden lore, and shape the fate of a system on the brink!
Build your character with the abilities and choices that reflect your playstyle. The colony reacts to your every move, crafting a narrative that’s yours to own—whether you’re a disciple of diplomacy, an astute strategist, a crusader for chaos, or something different altogether. And yes, you can dumb!
Recruit companions with unique traits, backgrounds and goals. Whether you choose to help them achieve their ambitions or steer them toward your own objectives, your influence shapes their growth (or death), making them an integral part of the immersive story you create together.

Ray tracing adds depth and realism across Arcadia. From glowing rift anomalies to the reflections of neon signs on rain-soaked streets, advanced lighting, shadows, and reflections create a more dynamic and immersive experience.

HDR
Step into Arcadia with high dynamic range support. HDR enhances contrast and color depth across compatible displays, making every neon light, alien sky, and weapon blast more vivid and lifelike.

Unacceptably buggy. Got 10 hours in and it is unplayable. Crashes to desktop every time within moments of loading the save file. Every time, without fail. Doesn't matter if I turn DLSS/FSR on or off, doesn't matter what settings I turn on or off or set to low or high. Don't wish this frustration on anyone. Frankly I feel dumb for thinking that a year would be enough time for a large company to iron out literally game-breaking bugs. Clearly this is the new normal and I'm the one who's out of touch. Save yourself the money and the headache.
I had hoped that after 9 months all the major bugs in the game would have been fixed. I did everything I could to ensure the game was as stable as possible, but still crashes every 5-30 minutes. With what little I played struggling to engage me, This game isn't even worth it when on sale for half off. It is just an exercise in tedium and frustration.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 26: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

NOPE
This game is an absolute masterpiece. Absolutely incredible graphics, storytelling, combat.... Truly one of the greatest games ever made. The attention to detail is unparalleled, and it shows in literally every aspect of this game. It only leaves two things to be desired... 1.) For the love of all that is holy.... Can we just for once, please, ever, make a game when companions don't immediately hop into your line of fire in combat? If just one game would do it, I could die a happy man. 2.) There needs to be some sort of out-of-combat regeneration that doesn't involve eating 32 tonnes of food. Maybe a 1hp/5 sec out of combat regen? It's not making the gameplay more difficult, having to eat food. It's just tedious and takes away from the game. Other than that, sheer perfection. I wasn't sure if the sequel would live up to the original. But it's somehow even better.
Outer Worlds 2 has many of the same elements that made 1 so much fun. Obsidian's storytelling and dialog is as always on point. We get even more worlds to explore, but the environments are somewhat repetitive. Two planets are both barren landscapes that are filled with a lot of empty space and not much besides dead bodies to loot. Weapons and mods are not particularly remarkable, with limited upgrade possibilities. The skills and perks retain the same concepts from OW1 but after a second playthrough, it's clear that the player is forced into putting points in Lockpick and Hacking. So much of the game is locked behind these 2 skills. It's less of a choice and more of a necessity if you want to experience everything the game has to give. Perks are also locked behind Skills, once again cornering you into perks. Other details I missed was the lack of unique outfits 1 had, though cosmetics were never Outer Worlds strong suit. I would have liked more city landscapes and less industrial, barren locations. Sadly at the end of the day I don't know that this game has broader appeal beyond fans of OW1.
I love the animations, guns feel awesome and Audio is excellent. Negative 1. The game is currently not loading up for me, it gets stuck on preparing shaders/textures. Something is wrong with the optimization of this game. 2. The game feels dead, and I think its because of the Npcs, I wish they added Ai llms to have natural conversations with npcs. That would save this game.
"Just what to do , start the cycle... here's the cue- its fibonacci, a sequence largely summing two preceding numbers..." - absolute fire
Not much to say about the game not much depth in the game in the parts i got to. Which is fine I enjoy games like that. the gameplay is fun to me so far but I haven't made it far as in still on first planet. Now with that being said I cannot recommend this game in good faith I have ran into multiple bugs that either make game less fun are completely unplayable. The current bug I am experiencing has broken game to where it crashes everytime i try to play and this is from the main menu. The March update seems to be the source so since March I have no access to the game at all on my PC this after redownloading 10 times and deleting all mods and to the point i deleted any data that my be causing it. So for months I have not enjoyed a game I paid for. In conclusion DO NOT BUY
sailed the 7 seas with this one for about 50 hours til i decided that I liked it so much I wanted to buy it! since you know we dont "own" games anymore and cant rent games on PC that is the only way. If i like a game and it runs on my computer I WILL BUY IT! Just like I did with this game. I have no problem starting over because the game is that cool!! BUY IT ON SALE!!! SOOOOOOOOOO worth the $35!!! Much more darker and seriouser than OW1. I like this one much better than OW1!! 7.7/10 I am using TSR 90% 1440p and med settings with Frame Gen turned on and im getting "80" fps!!! XeSS Ultra Quality 80fps - very high settings
the attention to detail is amazing and i honestly loved the COMEDY and dialog on the first planet Eden but after that it just became boring slow woke slop that just kept dragging on wasting your time and on top of that playing on controller feels HORRIBLE
