Get ready to roll deep across the Solar System as you recruit a ragtag team of people that don't have anything better to do, who won't just provide you with the juicy side-missions that you kind of have to do if you want to see, like, one-third of the game's content, but also buff your stats, provide useful abilities and advice, and hit people in the face with hammers - that is, if they could stay alive in combat for more than a couple of seconds - in a crew of likable space-faring misfits that call to mind games like Mass Effect and Knights of the Old Republic, if every party member was a poor guy with a weird personal vendetta. Parvati: What? No, conception as in- Has nobody ever taught you about this? Stranger: The minute she thought of having a kid, they put it down on her permanent record? Ah, nothing eases the guilt of a difficult decision than literally not knowing any better. And if all those narrative choices get you down, just try the "1 Intelligence" playthrough. I mean, at least those guys turned you into a jacked Shrek or whatever.Ĭraft the perfect space captain to really just mess up the colony, as Outer Worlds dishes up Fallout's leveling system with a few minor tweaks that will have you choosing your own route through the game's many quest-lines, from stealthy manipulation to just murdering everyone in your way, or the Fallout classic: raising your "Persuade" skill to 100 and just telling everybody to give you the quest items which, in this game, lets you just steal things right in front of people and then tell them to f*ck off. Traverse the furthest reaches of Halcyon, one of humanity's flagship colonies in outer space, where everything is owned by mega-corporations that are happy to profit from human misery - Relatable! - as you're resurrected from an abandoned colony ship and tasked to revive the rest of the inhabitants by using your uncanny protagonist powers that allow you to shape the course of events by just being slightly charismatic against the oppressive corporate board that make Vault-Tec look like a vegan food co-op. And considering that real Fallout has gone from a parody of extreme capitalism to just being extremely interested in your capital, just being a good Fallout game with no strings is kind of all we needed. Hyper-jump into The Outer Worlds, a brand-new IP that isn't shy about the fact that they literally just made another Fallout game, from the obsessive trash collection to the awkward face-to-face storytelling and even the underwhelming combat, as well as a narrative experience that doesn't really break the mold so much as shoot it into space, to dish up approximately 20-30 hours of exactly what you were expecting from it.
In a world where your favorite franchises have turned from memorable adventures into insanely transparent money-grabs, go back to a simpler time, when you could play a game about hoarding trash without having to pay a $100-a-year subscription fee.
