The Outer Worlds

I really liked this game, with a couple caveats. First of all, the characters are so fun. Parvati is just the best, I love her. There's tons of exploration and secret-finding and funny journal-reading. The sense of place and world-building is just unmatched. But that also is a flaw because the corporate dystopia the game portrays so well sometimes clashes with the role-playing and the narrative - like why wouldn't you want to dramatically improve this world where companies intentionally turn people into monsters by <plot spoiler> and <spoiler for completely different plotline>. I recommend this game, but I had to push myself to finish it at the end. For whatever reason, the story seems to drag on in parts. But still! Play it to hang out with your buddies on your sweetass ship. Put it down when that gets old.

Did not finish and not planning to do so. There are better games to play in my free time. Really mediocre game with heavy "Sweet Baby Inc"-vibes. There are so many annoying things, I can't list them all, but here are some of them: - no option to change the keybinding - 99% of the characters are ugly as hell and the dialogue and story are mostly absolutely lame - nearly all "women" in this game look and talk like rebellious teenage boys who have no respect for their parents - no romance option - the "improving your gear"-mechanic (weapons and armor) isn't worth the ressources, since the costs are not bound to the gear-level, but to the amount of improvements you did yourself - missions feel like chores These are just a few and I don't want to write a whole book. In short: I don't recommend. Play better games.

«Fallout: New Vegas в космосе? И да, и нет. Скорее, крепкая RPG на один вечер.»

This is a really good little RPG from the folk who brought us Fallout: New Vegas. I spent a lot of time on my so far one play through, taking it slow and enjoying it as I did with FNV. I treated it as essentially a significantly more stable and more polished version of the game and I think it works well seeing it as such. It definetly has it's own strengths, not being bogged down by any of Bethesda's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ or being limited by the Fallout 3 engine, and your companions storylines are much more fleshed out and enjoyable to explore and experience. I will say the game feels a lot more linear in the progression of the story. There's not many opportunities to go on wildly different paths and become a wildly different character compared to your last playthrough, unlike a certain game I keep comparing this one too. However that's only really a problem in terms of replay value, which isn't that bad. As you can see I got a good 21 hours out of this thing, but I do wish I had the choice to get more out of it aside from returning to the game a few years later when it isn't fresh in my mind. Lastly I will say the gunplay is really really darn fun. It blends well with it's almost actiony/turn-basedy nature that came from the Fallout games and can break up the walking and talking decently well. If you enjoy immersive RPG's like Fallout: New Vegas, then I'd say this is likely to be a hit with you. Otherwise it's still a good game I'd recommend.
