Many hoped for a spiritual successor to Fallout New Vegas. The Outer Worlds was advertised as a project by the developers of Fallout: New Vegas, while in reality, only around 20% of the NV team worked on it and it’s painfully obvious. (Source: https://youtu.be/n2CXtrPkT2M)

Unfortunately, The Outer Worlds is too small for any good replay value and the plot isn’t particularly creative. They literally had one joke – evil corporations cut costs in a retarded way and everyone died, repeated over and over again. Capitalism bad, I guess.

Gameplay itself is not bad, but the lack of enemy variety, unique gear, and zero options for build crafting makes the overall experience mediocre.

As for the Spacer’s Choice edition – I got it from HB Choice (July 2023) way cheaper than the original version. Didn’t encounter any bugs or performance issues on the Steam Deck.
