The Outer Worlds 2

As a longtime Fallout: New Vegas fan, I found both The Outer Worlds games phenomenal, and The Outer Worlds 2 continues to deliver much of what I loved about the first. The witty writing, memorable characters, and catchy soundtrack create a comical atmosphere that fits the universe perfectly, though I do wish the soundtrack had a little more variety. One of my favorite changes is the greater emphasis on actually specializing your character. Rather than eventually becoming a jack of all trades who can excel at practically everything, your choices matter. Your build has real strengths and weaknesses, which makes character creation and subsequent playthroughs much more interesting and encourages you to approach situations differently. My biggest disappointment has nothing to do with the game itself. The Premium Edition was sold with a DLC Pass promising two future story expansions, yet nine months after release, we’ve heard virtually nothing about them. No roadmap, no expansion titles, no teasers, and no meaningful release window. That’s frustrating when people paid upfront for this content. I thoroughly enjoyed The Outer Worlds 2 and absolutely recommend it to fans of story-driven RPGs, especially those who enjoyed Fallout: New Vegas. But nine months of crickets regarding prepaid DLC is difficult to overlook. The game is excellent. The communication with the people who bought the Premium Edition has not been.

失望

NOPE

"Just what to do , start the cycle... here's the cue- its fibonacci, a sequence largely summing two preceding numbers..." - absolute fire

Obsidian is no longer the Obsidian we known and love. Outer world 1 or 2 feels LGBTQ+ heavily based on the companion and the removal of romance options and varies npc as i play the the game more i feel like they are trying to mimic Fallout NV half of the time the dialog are just too long and boring the main quest feel like a labor with repeated fights with robots no iconic monster or character whatsoever lacks FUN gimmick you go around doing ass rift puzzle or parkour it just feel unfun and boring if you place them so many times and similar in the map AND the map is very hard to go around as there are huge hills and often river that kills you that force you to go the long long long long way The mod system for guns are not well made and annoying to deal with when you have to get them via shops or just dont know how to get the one you need feel unexplained as well the goods thing are 1. great adaptation of fallout nv stat system Build are generally easy to be made just choose your perk and stat on the playstyle you want to focus then you will be good to go 2.the gun play are good and fun with bullet time

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.

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.

I wanted this to be good, for it to carry the fire the first one had. It just doesn't. It's not just the forced DEI lameness, the completely mid story, or them just reskinning all the creatures from the first game, the gameplay just doesn't feel fun. I've played 80 hours and I have zero interest in this game. It just isn't worth buying. The studio could have done so much, but they just phoned in a crap sequel.
