How it feels
Feels like exploring a strange, corporate-dominated space frontier where your decisions shape a funny yet morally nuanced adventure.

What players say
Players are split on The Outer Worlds. Some love the writing, humor, and companions, while many find the combat, exploration, and story mediocre and boring. The game is widely considered too short, and the original version was delisted.
