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.

不错,比第一部剧情丰富了两倍,很精彩。
Playing an earth Directorate agent is just like being in Section 31 of Star Trek. Except different. And not Star Trek.
不好玩,而且它让你觉得不好玩的方式也未尝怪异。乍一看似乎精工细作,但是只要认真玩,就会感受到莫名其妙的粗糙感。比如你们老滚5的随从都知道,时不时看玩家一眼,或者一直看着玩家,让玩家感受到自己的存在。但是这游戏的随从,你只要不跟他搭话,他就像个兵马俑一样5度角微微仰视凝望远方。这样的质量放在10年前都嫌差。然后就是美术风格和整体设定不和谐,所以明明素材很细致但整体观感画质就很差。
Outer Worlds 2 est un excellent titre, ne pas se fier au nombre d'heures joués j'en avais plus de 46h+ sur une autre plateforme avant de prendre le titre sur Steam et continuer ma sauvegarde. J'ai du mal a comprendre ceux qui le critique, le studio fait un bon suivi du jeu, il est très plaisant à joué, l'ambiance est top, les factions sont interessantes et j'aime bien les compagnons qui forment l'équipage. En résumé, ayant adoré le premier il y'a tout ce dont j'attendais pour un 2eme opus ! Bon jeu à tous :)
Outer Worlds 2, like Outer Worlds before it, is a very fun game. After a great tutorial mission, you are thrown into a conflict between three main factions over the fate of a solar system, chasing a mysterious villain, with a looming cataclysmic event you have to stop. Your role in the story feels bigger than the first Outer Worlds which leads to some difficult and interesting choices along the way. As with all Obsidian games I've played, the writing is top-notch. The fact that these writers can balance dramatic, emotional moments with some of the funniest dialogue in any game is amazing. There are times where a dialogue option was so funny, I wanted to pick it just to see how it would play out, even though it was completely contradictory to how I was roleplaying the main character. Also as per usual, the companion characters are all excellent and have incredible arcs. Each character provides an interesting perspective on the overarching conflict, and the fact that these characters end up in such different places from when you first meet them is truly impressive. You feel like you've gone on a journey with this spaceship full of ragtag misfits. The gameplay is excellent. Combat and movement are great. Like Avowed, just getting around the world is engaging, maybe the best in any open-world RPG I've played in recent memory. Rarely are you just walking through a building, there are inevitably two or three ways to traverse through a space depending on your skills and how well you pay attention to clues in your surroundings. There are a lot of different kinds of enemies and every weapon feels punchy and fun to use. You have enough options in fights between guns, melee weapons, grenades, companion abilities, stealth, and special gadgets, that combat is always engaging and you can approach it however feels best to you. The different RPG systems all are deep and overlap nicely too. For example, your speech skill helps when talking to people but it also provides benefits in combat. The same is true for melee, guns, science, and so on. Level ups are impactful and you'll always wish you had more skill points because each skill provides tangible benefits and interesting perks. One of the standout features is the flaws system which will give you a benefit, but with a cost. These flaws are also based on how you play the game so they feel unique to your playstyle. For example, in any game with guns, I always reload my guns before the magazine is empty. I was doing this a lot and the game offered me a flaw that would lower my gun damage for a short time if I ever let my magazine completely empty without reloading. In exchange, my magazine sizes for all guns was increased permanently. Some of the flaws are almost game-breaking and will completely change how you play. You have to choose to accept each flaw though so it is never going to ruin a build you're working on. Aesthetically, the world is interesting to explore, looks great, and you're accompanied by some excellent music. The in-universe songs that play over the radio stations are genuinely catchy and funny too. Definitely give them a listen while you're trekking across these alien planets. If you like big, expansive RPGs in the vein of Skyrim or the 3D Fallout games, I feel confident you'll like Outer Worlds 2 (or Outer Worlds for that matter). Outer Worlds 2 is not the same as those games but it definitely scratches the same itch and for me, it's better in a lot of ways. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Still waiting for my DLC...
This game is great! I love it! I dont get why it received such heat during release :-/..... Graphic are nice, the humor is Fallout 1+2 wacky. Yeah, I am enjoying it quite a lot :-).

Прикольная игра, в стиле первой части. Мне зашла.
Esta guai es una mejoría considerable respecto al primero tanto narrativa como jugablemente aunque tiene un sistema de nivel que te va limitando un poco las misiones principales que vas haciendo obligándote ha hacer secundarias en general esta bastante bien una pena que no destacase por las políticas absurdas de XBOX
