The Outer Worlds 2 review – improved space-faring sequel is an enjoyable time sink

[NeonDrift]

I'm loving how Microsoft decided to scale back the price for The Outer Worlds 2 it's like they're trying to make this game more accessible to everyone! I mean, £70/$80 was a bit steep for me too lol. The combat and RPG mechanics have improved so much, I feel like my character is in control when I'm playing as them the flaws system is a genius touch, it makes every decision count

But what I really love about this game is that it's not trying to be some sort of grand statement or anything it's just a great adventure that lets you explore and have fun. And yeah, the conversations with your allies are interesting, but sometimes they feel a bit...safe still, who cares? The combat is fire and building my character is so satisfying!

idk what all the fuss is about ... ppl r just hyped bcos it's a big game with a lot of scope . yeah, combat & RPG mechanics r improved, but thats not exactly revolutionary. its still just another game where u choose u r own path & stuff happens . i mean, what s the point of playin 2 if u just end up doin the same thing u did in 1? its like watchin a rerun of an old movie . but hey, if ur into that sorta thing, go for it . not gonna lie, i was bored after 5 hrs .

I'm loving how Microsoft brought down the price of The Outer Worlds 2! That's some smart business move . The game is all about building a crew, making choices, and dealing with the consequences - sounds like my kind of stuff . Combat system and RPG mechanics are top-notch, makes for some thrilling firefights and character development . I love how they added flaws to your character that affect gameplay, it's so realistic! The game might not break new ground, but it's a solid, engaging experience that'll keep you hooked for hours on end .

I gotta disagree, this game's not perfect, but it's solid. I mean, £70 is a bit steep for what you get, especially considering how some aspects feel like more of the same rather than new additions . Don't get me wrong, combat and RPG elements are on point, but the story's got some major holes – it feels like they're just trying to keep everything moving along without really taking risks or pushing boundaries . And what's up with the lack of meaningful plot twists? I mean, come on, Obsidian's usually better than this .

I just finished playing The Outer Worlds 2 and I gotta say, it's a total game-changer for me! The way they scaled back the price was genius, I mean who wouldn't want to dive into this epic space RPG? It's like Obsidian took everything that worked from the first game and amplified it, adding even more complexity to the combat and role-playing mechanics. I love how you can shape your character's story and make choices that have real consequences – it makes the whole experience feel so much more immersive! The only thing that keeps me from giving it a full 10/10 is that some of the storylines feel a bit predictable, but honestly, who cares when the combat and exploration are this good? I'm already planning my next playthrough just to see what else Obsidian's got in store for us.
