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.

The Outer Worlds 2 is a great sequel to the first The Outer Worlds and improves on it in most ways. The game is set in Arcadia, and you play as an Earth Directorate agent sent there on an important mission that will lead you to explore the Arcadia system and its many factions and the conflicts surrounding them.. The game’s setting and universe are great, showing and criticizing many political ideologies like capitalism, scientism, religion, and egalitarianism in a good, thought-provoking way that makes the player think and wonder about their own beliefs. The main story, on the other hand, left me wanting more. It lacked, in my opinion, depth and options that I would come to expect from an RPG of this size. The companions in this game, like its setting, are varied and unique, each with their own personality, charm, and story that makes you care and want to know more about them. Gameplay in The Outer Worlds 2 is excellent, with great gunplay and combat that include an impressive variety of guns and weapons that you can use to defeat your foes in Arcadia. The general RPG mechanics like levelling up, skills, flaws, and upgrades to you and your companions are terrific, making you want to get the next upgrade or new weapon. The visuals and graphics are breathtaking, with vast and varied, beautifully crafted worlds and planets that you will come across on your travels in Arcadia. The music and sound design are fantastic, and also include three radio stations you can listen to, with a lot of different styles of music that fit the setting of the game and its factions. Something I didn’t like about the game, as I wrote before, is that it sometimes limits your choices. In an RPG of this scale, I would expect that you could approach situations in a variety of ways, but a lot of the time you are left feeling that you can’t choose how you want to handle a quest or a conflict in the game, being pushed into a certain limited way that the developers chose for you, which makes you feel like you are doing something you didn’t really want to do in that situation. In addition, I experienced a lot of crashes during loading screens. While the game runs great and looks great most of the time, entering a loading screen would sometimes cause a crash that forced me to reload the game. One more gripe I would note is the difficulty of the game and the AI of its enemies. The game felt easy most of the time (even though I played on hard difficulty), with the enemies’ AI sometimes being poor and lacking. In conclusion, The Outer Worlds 2 is an excellent RPG and a worthy sequel, even though it has some shortcomings. I would recommend it to anyone who is seeking a great RPG with a strong setting and universe that will give you many hours of enjoyment and thought-provoking ideas. ===8.5/10===
pretty good
Way better than the first game is every way.
5/10
TLDR; Its mostly more of "Outer Worlds" but everything is slightly better. Pros: * The core experience is good - there are interesting factions and interesting characters to meet. You will get to make many choices that will effect interesting outcomes. There are also multiple viable and fun ways to approach things. * Quests are mostly interesting and I found myself wanting to know whats gonna happen next. * Dialogs are funny and interesting. * I found shooting quite satisfying, its nothing that will blow you away but its solid and good. * Level design and general atmosphere is quite good Cons: * The visuals can feel kind of bland sometimes, I would'nt say its bad - there is variety and such but sometimes it does feel a bit "cookie cutter". * Enemy AI - Again, its not terrible but its not good either. They mostly sit where they are and at most duck for cover. I wish they would try and circle around you and sneak up from behind, use the map to their advantage somehow but nawh none of that. * I wish there was a better roster of weapons, I did'nt find any of them all that interesting. * No real puzzles - its just go to this place to activate that thing to then be able to activate the next thing. I wish there was something bit more substantial. While there are surely things that could be better I'm still super happy with this game and would recommend it to anyone who likes a good RPG. This is one of the better ones out there today, well worth both your time and money
武器很多 但大部分用不到 劇情很雜 有明顯趕工 還行吧 喜歡滿地圖檢垃圾的趁特價可以玩 黑曜石工作室水準還是在線
Got a few laughs, shot some awesome guns. Its fun for sure.
Feels like they added more New Vegas into the formula. That's the stuff
Great Game!
