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.

Explore Arcadia with stunning visual detail. The Outer Worlds 2 supports true 4K resolution on compatible devices and unlocked framerates on PC, delivering smooth performance across sprawling alien landscapes, neon-lit cities, and fractured space environments.

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.

Play with optimized performance across the board. The Outer Worlds 2 supports NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS upscaling, ensuring sharp visuals and higher frame rates no matter your GPU.
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.
Ultra-wide Support
See more of Arcadia with ultra-wide 21:9 display support. From massive corporate facilities to the vastness of space, a wider field of view delivers a more cinematic perspective on the colony’s fractured future.

you fight fascism and then realize - if you wanted to end the cycle and prevent the creation of more fascists, you probably should have done more to deter the spread of capitalism while you had the chance that's my bad, I got distracted by the whole [spoiler]head in a jar[/spoiler] thing and [spoiler]gave her a robot body instead of murdering her[/spoiler] game's good. play it.
Ein unerwartet gutes Spiel. Im Sale geholt und bin sehr zufrieden. Das Setting muss einem halt gefallen aber generell wem der erste Teil gefiel der wird sich hier relativ schnell zurechtfinden.
Flaw system is 10/10
I really wished to like [b]Outer Worlds 2[/b] as much as liked the original. As sequel has a good story which does not follow up directly from the original and still has meaningful companion questlines to open the world and environment around you. Weapon arsenal can get huge from “legendary specials”, thou kept early game body armor till the end as the passive was too great to ignore. This can of course be different from your playthrough but mine was “trying to play” as stealth damage dealer. Which gets me to stealth and flaw system. I highly recommend looking into the stealth system before you start the game, as the game playthrough felt almost always against your build, especially with the boss fights. For a new player, take your time on reading the ”Flaw system” prompts. As these can change your character drastically from the original. As I accidentally accepted single flaw and after +5 hours later realize “Ohh.. So that’s what it (actually) meant, well my original build is now screwed.”. Especially with flaw of [spoiler]Easily Distracted.[/spoiler] Also only single re-spec is available during prologue quest. I will argue the developers should have added a legendary quest to mid or near end of game, which gives re-spec option but removes few skill points / talents from the selection pool or adds a new flaw. As a reminder to players this action isn’t a solution without its own flaws. This would have changed my review possibly in a more positive direction. What about the soundtrack? Well, there is [spoiler]three faction[/spoiler] channels, which each have their own agendas varying from commercial jingles, propaganda / history broadcasts and “special radio programs”. Once you hear each channel twice in a loop, you’ll most likely turn it off permanently. Finished the game with Hard difficulty as was familiar with the basic gameplay. Was quite though on few parts due messed up build and other enemy interactions. [h2]Final score: 8/10[/h2]
excellent game
nice
Everything a sequel to one of the best games should be, and more. Intuitive layout, amazing graphics
game is good. its great even. I just don't like the fact that I have to wait 5 - 10 for shaders to compile. it's actually turned me off the game several times now when I had every intent to play it.
A very imaginative world with great characters. Fun, exciting and challenging with a sound track that drives you crazy!
It's Fallout at home.
