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.
High Fidelity Graphics
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
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.
DLSS, FSR, and XeSS Support
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.

It's easily better than the first game, so if you liked the first one, you'll like this one. I don't think it's bad, I just don't think it's my style of game. I realized as I was playing this I like more serious, harder hitting, darker stuff. So I think you might have fun playing it. But... it just wasn't for me.
на что я потратил 13 часов своей жизни?
There were just too many ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and too low interest generated to keep me engaged. So I've given up on it. Go play Crimson Desert, Elden Ring, or Baldur's Gate 3 instead - all are much, much better games.
Unfortunately boring. The art team outpaced the game designers and the optimization team on this one by far.
If you are going to get this game cause you like the 1st one don't
Pretty underwhelming. Only beat the game because I went over refund window and with having beaten it, I really don't have much to say. The trend of studios trimming down RPG elements to less than their skeleton is my main gripe, almost plays more like a bioshock game imo.
Worse than the original game. Frequent crashes on startup and I am running a 9800X3D processor, 5070TI graphics and 64GB RAM. There is no reason for crashes other than bad programming. My multitude of other games don't crash like this. The worst part is the inability to complete missions due to in game bugs. On the first planet I was unable to collect the jump boots from Jackson Plum, even though I was standing over the body, and had completed all the steps, it would not let me collect. Third planet I went to I could not complete the main mission due to a bugged door on last level that was inaccessable. I even watched walkthrough videos, going step by step to make sure I did not miss anything and still nothing changed. I repeated things over and over hoping to find something that was wrong but no go. Even read through forums for things to check and ideas to resolve bugs, turned waypoints on and off, left planets and returned, etc. Nothing helped. Steam saw I played for over 20hrs and refused to issue refund for this POS buggy game. Basically Obsidian stole my $60
Bon jeu, n'en déplaise aux rageux et aux fâcheux. (ils veulent juste un FNV 2 ces kelbs)
well i finished this game and should have listened to previous reviews... i rate this as a poor no/ humor and dulled down version of outer worlds it played fine over all but id hope they had MASTERED that as its the same basic game as outer worlds with no humor and no replay to be considered
The first game's story and theme was pretty fun and silly with cool gameplay and environments, so I was excited to see where this game went. While I like the gameplay, weapon variety, worlds, skill tree, random advantage/disadvantage things, the game is just pretty boring. It doesn't take more than a few hours to get too overpowered for the game even on hard. They really hype up the last section of the game to be a challenge, but I think I spent thirty minutes total on the last level, with one boss that took maybe 90 seconds to kill.... Beyond the gameplay, the writers are so obviously anti Christian, anti American/Western civilization, anti men....so much so that the characters, organizations, things people say just don't make any sense. The writing went far beyond beyond a charming satire of capitalism and greed that it just sound pretentious; I would not want to be around ANY of the characters (or the writers) in real life. My favorite side kick character was the robot because she was the only likeable one. Also, why do the side characters need to be talking every second of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game? When will this trend die?
