With that done, your Outer Worlds adventure well and truly begins in all its glorious sci-fi fashion as the ability to traverse the solar system opens itself up to you. You awaken to a lengthy introduction that drags somewhat before landing on the lower planet of Terra 2, crushing your contact beneath you, leaving you to potentially assume their identity before embarking on a journey to repair their ship. The best part? Gunplay is responsive and enemies go down in a satisfying spectacle of gore, with melee weapons actually being viable despite your foes having an arsenal of ranged guns. Whether you want to use the high ground to your advantage like one Obi-Wan Kenobi with a hunting rifle in hand, ready to pick off marauders like flies, or run in like a mad-man with a hammer swinging as people’s limbs fly off, there’s tons of available playstyles. Dismemberment galore, slow-time bullet hell, an easy to use weapon wheel and tons of customisation to be had all make for a great enhancement to the RPG aspects that ultimately sell The Outer Worlds and its cohorts. In terms of how the combat handles, it’s slick and simple. Also, please consider supporting us on Patreon so that we can continue to do what we love doing. You can build up a character that can bluff and lie their way through any situation or deal with problems by means of blunt force trauma.Įnjoying our The Outer Worlds Switch review so far? Don’t forget to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for more Nintendo Switch content. As you level, you put points into various categories, such as melee, leadership and dialogue, which all impact the way in which you interact with the world, whilst also unlocking perks that can increase inventory space or give you more health. With gruelling karma decisions comes an in-depth level system that opens the doors to customisation galore – you can be a numbskull meathead, an intelligent but sarky know-it-all or an agile thief: the choice is yours. Or, if that’s not your thing, you can be good and make it onto Santa’s nice list, but where’s the fun in that? Swapping out evil for generic sarcasm? Not so much, as you can gloriously fashion yourself as true scum, killing without remorse, wiping out settlements, making enemies of all who cross your path all whilst plowing through the colonies gunning down anyone who looks at you wrong. If you were disappointed with the RPG aspects of Fallout 4 and are itching for more of what New Vegas offered, then The Outer Worlds is the legendary automatic back-scratcher 3000 to Bethesda’s chewed up stick from the forest.
