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.

Ayant joué de maniere très sainement au premier jeu je tiens a l'écrire; il s'agit d'un super action aventure mais un très mauvais action rpg, les dialogues sont aussi plats que fallout 4 a part quand on fais un role play de fils de chien c'est drole mais quasi au point mort sur certaines quetes que ça soit dans les dialogues ou le gameplay; des sacs a pv, on te repere a la miliseconde a travers certaines parties du jeu... mais franchement ça pourrais aller si c'était possible de modder le jeu plus que ça mais visiblement la communauté du jeu a plus d'espoir que moi pour la suite du jeu (si ça arrive)
I don't recommend this game if you want a deep immersive experience. This will initially feel like one but quickly fades as you learn the mechanics. It's not terribly shallow and it isn't bad. It's just good. And some folks are ok with just good. The amount of stutters and freezes in the game also left a bad taste in my mouth when I just wanted to play. In general it's a simple adventure game where you explore points on the map which overall tend to guide you in certain directions. One of the largest issues that I experienced is the save game corruption in which is a game breaking bug. Just remember to take multiple saves often to make sure you're able to get back close to a spot you were at. It's basically more of the first Outer Worlds game packaged in with some minor improvements. Everything just feels good but not what I expect out of a studio that made Fallout New Vegas. I would only recommend this to folks who like these types of games similar to Fallout 4, New Vegas, and similar.
Offers a wide variety of weapons and combat styles.
It's a fun game. I've enjoyed the story and the gameplay, even if some of the humorous elements of the first one are missing. That doesn't make it bad, just different. I've appreciated it all the same.
Uninteresting world, boring gameplay, boring companions. I'm gonna try real hard to finish this, but Avowed (while also flawed) is the better game of the two.
쉐이더 하다가 튕기고, 쉐이더 다 끝나도 실행만 하면 튕기는 게임. 그냥 하지 마셈.
It’s ambitious. There’s a lot more to do than The Outer Worlds and yet, I find myself thinking this is substantially weaker than the first entry. The gameplay is improved and I liked the perks quite a bit and there’s a good number of side content that I actually quite enjoyed. But that being said, I just could not care about the plot or these characters. I compare this game to Horizon: Zero Dawn because feel it’s quite similar to The Outer Worlds 2 in terms of how I feel about it. Why do I give a ♥♥♥♥ about anything that’s going on in this game? I do not care about these characters at ALL. I loved The Outer Worlds but I do not love The Outer Worlds 2. It’s not getting an overall negative score because of the positives I listed above. But this is the most disappointing gaming experience of 2026 for me thus far. By the time I got to the last explorable planet, I speedran the game. I just wanted it to be over. I could’ve easily had 40+ hours in this game. 6/10 STARS
Hm, nicht so geil wie der erste Teil, obwohl etwas länger glaube ich.. Trotzdem nicht schlecht, doch man merkt schon das auch bei dem Studio schon der Woke und Political Correctness Unsinn anfängt..
Still bugged - I just started getting the fatal crash whenever I enter a specific area of a specific map, so now I can never complete a companion quest and I am worried more areas are going to start making me crash when I go there. I waited for this game to be out like a year and the fact they still have game breaking bugs in a single player game is wild.
I enjoyed the first Outer Worlds. I wouldn't put it among my favourite RPG franchises but I had fun playing it. I finally bought the sequel and just finished my first playthrough. Firstly I played on the easiest difficulty as I'd rather enjoy the story than stress over combat. Typically in RPGs I'm always a stealth sniper although it took me a while to get a sniper rifle. I also missed a load of cool guns (they're used for hidden achievements) so explore each map thoroughly. I barely used the Time Dilation (slow motion) gadget instead switching between the Acidic Dematerializer (melts corpses so other enemies don't see them) and the N-Ray Scanner (see enemies/traps/wires through walls) as they fitted with my stealth play. Terminals can also reveal messages that appear later as speech choices which is cool. There's multiple factions to work with/murder depending on who you like the most (or dislike the least). Things I didn't like. There's no outfits/helmets that grant you skill bonuses like in the first game. No customisation for companions. You can upgrade their skills as you level up and do their companion quests but you can't change their outfits or weapons. It's very basic. No romance either (like the first game) which sucks because murderous cultist Aza would have been top of my list!
