Certain thresholds of each skill unlocks a bonus. When you level up, you can distribute points in your various skills, ranging from long guns to lying, stealth, leadership, and more. You gain experience points for performing nearly every action in the game. The Outer Worlds features multiple endings. Your choices can influence your quests, reputation, and even the fates of other characters and groups. This is often true even with characters not central to any story-line, such as a random bartender. Conversations are usually large branching dialogue trees where you choose how your character responds. You are thrust into the first world of the game shortly after character creation and begin making your decisions. There is a ton of dialogue options, even with minor characters. It’s entertaining, deep and it made me incredibly excited to dive into the game with my personal character. The entire time you are doing this, the scientist makes little comments about your choices. You then put some points into an expansive tree of skills and even choose your past profession that grants a little boon. You choose how strong, fast, perceptive, and how temperamental your character is. I was initially incredibly impressed by the number of options. You customize the appearance of your character and their attributes. The same scientist needs your help to save the other colonists. Your character begins the game as a forgotten colonist pulled out of deep freeze by an eccentric scientist. So bear with me on this crazy ride while I go against the grain. Yet, Outer Worlds has several flaws I can’t ignore. I get far more joy when talking about how much I love a game than I do writing about how much I dislike it. My review is coming late so I’m already aware of how much some folks are enjoying the game. Equipment and even companions can be customized to a degree. Your character gains levels as you play, allowing you to further increase their skills and choose perks. The character creation process is extensive.

What tasks you choose to perform and how you complete them will influence many of the characters and factions in the game. You traverse the Halcyon system interacting with all kinds of weird and entertaining characters. What kind of company they keep, who to aid and who to give the middle finger. You choose their skills, dialogue choices and play style. Your character has just enough background to get them started leaving with the player to dictate the rest. The Outer Worlds is a first-person shooting RPG with a huge focus on player choice. Joseph Pugh conducted this review on a standard Xbox One Console.

It is available on The Epic Games Store, Xbox One and Windows including game pass and on PlayStation 4. They left the damn files in the car.The Outer Worlds is a first-person shooting RPG developed by Obsidian Entertainment. Pedro Luz whispered to Churrito:Remember to get their car keys. Nobody else was around.Ĭhurrito laughed.Good work, he said to Pedro Luz.Excellent. The burglars-and it had to be them, greasy-looking rednecks-were sitting on a bench. This exercise was repeated every few seconds, all the way to the Baboon Tree. Every time one appeared on the mesh over his head, Pedro Luz would jump up and smash at it savagely with his knuckles. It was fortunate, then, that the monkeys were safely on the other side of the chicken wire. An act of irrational violence was needed to calm the mood. Pedro Luz didn't think it was the least bit funny he was sinking into one of his spells-every heartbeat sent cymbals crashing against his brainpan. Churrito lit up a Marlboro and handed it to a rhesus, who took a sniff and hurled it back at him.

Next came the insistent clamor of the creatures themselves, clinging to the chicken wire and extending miniature brown hands in hopes of food. The first thing they noticed about Monkey Mountain was the stink, which Churrito likened to that of a mass grave. He didn't sound as confident as he would've liked. I told you, said Bud Schwartz,we're through with that. It was plainly stuffed with something, possibly fifty thousand in cash. Danny Pogue gaped painfully.Ĭhurrito held up the briefcase. A burglar with a gun Pedro Luz was consumed with fury.īud Schwartz said,Don't move. Before he could get to it, something dug into his right ear. In the same motion his right hand casually fished into the waistband of his trousers for the Colt. Pedro Luz checked over both shoulders to make sure there were no tourists around. We give 'em to the old man and nobody else. Danny Pogue joined him on the concrete bench.So how much is he gonna bring?
