After being exclusive on PC to the Epic Games Store for more than a year, Obsidian Entertainment’s The Outer Worlds is now available on Steam and GOG. It’s discounted by 50 percent on both platforms to celebrate the launch. You can check out our official review here for our impressions.
The Outer Worlds is set in the distant future where megacorporations have colonized and laid claim to entire planets. You play as the Stranger, a crew member of the colony ship Hope, and investigate the Halycon system. It’s not long before the Stranger is mixed up in the affairs of The Board, a group of megacorporations.
This paves the way to helping out the various denizens of Halcyon, though the impact of one’s choices may not always be clear. As a first-person shooter/RPG, players can customize their character’s attributes and perks, using different approaches to solving problems. Overall, if you ever craved a spiritual success to Fallout: New Vegas, then it might be worth checking out.
The Outer Worlds also available on Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch (with a new patch improving the visuals).
