What Critics Are Saying About The Outer Worlds

Edwin Evans-Thirlwell
A conventional, easygoing scifi RPG with slightly wasted satirical elements that fades very quickly from the mind.

With The Outer Worlds, Obsidian has found its own path in the space between Bethesda and BioWare's RPGs, and it's a great one.

There's a category of games I think of as Saturday morning cartoon games. They lack depth, but they are fluffy and easy to enjoy. As I look back on some screenshots as Pippin laser blasts a poor marauder into a pile of dust, I realise that's what The Outer Worlds is to me. If you meet it on those terms, I think you'll enjoy it.
