It looks good, but the story and world are not compelling. The characters are not interesting and the companions are annoying. Game-play is pretty good, but that isn't why I play an Obsidian game.

About This Game

The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition is the ultimate way to play the award-winning RPG from Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division.
Players who already have The Outer Worlds and its associated DLC, Murder on Eridanos and Peril on Gorgon, on Steam can upgrade to The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition for a reduced purchase price.* To enable the upgrade purchasing option, players must be signed into the same Steam Account they used to purchase the base game and its associated DLC and select the “Complete the Bundle” purchasing option.
You’ve tried the rest, now come back for the best! The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition includes the base game and all add-on content as the definitive way to play the beloved RPG from Obsidian Entertainment. This remastered masterpiece is optimized to be the absolute best version of The Outer Worlds… even if you choose to play this critically acclaimed RPG as the absolute worst version of your character.
Lost in transit while on a colonist ship bound for the edge of the galaxy, you awake decades later only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy the colony. Explore the various planets and locations of Halcyon, including the mysterious Gorgon Asteroid and delightful distilleries of Eridanos. As you encounter various factions, all vying for power, the character you decide to become will determine how this player-driven story unfolds.
In the corporate equation for the colony, you are the unplanned variable.
Key Features:
• It’s The Outer Worlds you love, but even better: 2019’s hit RPG has been remastered with better graphics, improved performance, additional animations, higher-res environments, and more.
• Increased level cap: A higher level cap means even more ways to build your character from the seven branches of the skill tree.
• The player-driven story RPG: In keeping with the Obsidian tradition, how you approach The Outer Worlds is up to you. Your choices affect not only the way the story develops, they also affect your character build, companion stories, and end game scenarios.
• Lead your companions: During your journey through the furthest colony, you will meet a host of characters who will want to join your crew. Armed with unique abilities, these companions all have their own missions, motivations, and ideals. It's up to you to help them achieve their goals, or exploit them to your own ends.
• Explore the corporate colony: Halcyon is a colony at the edge of the galaxy owned and operated by a corporate board. They control everything... except for the alien monsters left behind when the terraforming of the colony’s two planets didn’t exactly go according to plan. Find your ship, build your crew, and explore the settlements, space stations, and other intriguing locations throughout Halcyon.
*Based on Private Division’s suggested retail price for The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition on PC. Limit of one upgrade per account.

User Reviews
"It's not the wurst" ©, but "it's not the best choice" © either. It's not a bad game, but it's a game released in 2019 which plays and feels like a downsized and watered-down clone of Fallout 3 (2008) and has less working game systems than Oblivion (2006). It's like someone at Obsidian wanted to make another New Vegas, but dropped half of the features and never really tried to improve on the rest - despite using a modern engine and having considerably more development time than Bethesda alotted them back in the day. I guess, that's an answer to all the people who keep demanding that Bethesda ditches their old engine: using Unreal doesn't automatically make your game feel any better, or even different for that matter... For those who cares (I really don't): Outer Worlds may have less interior/exterior loading screens (obsolete since around 2015) than Starfield, but it still has them. It literally feels like an old Bethesda RPG, just relatively new and made by Obsidian... Also, it d...
I love the characters, they're all pretty funny. Great dialogue options. My bf and I are each playing our own playthrough and it's so fun to see the different story lines that are possible. I've played it before, years ago. Super excited to try out the new DLC but even playing through the main story again is a whole new experience.
I am so done with obsidian, they love to preach there ideology, Matt Hansen's involvement really shows all over this game.
It's ok.
I really love this game, but it started crashing in the ship, I cannot even get off the ship now, I have played 42 hours, I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. I have tried several things but nothing seems to work. It started after Felix side quest, not sure if that is related. If anyone has an idea let me know in the comments. I got it to work for a bit after Felix quest, but on the ship it is really bad.
The most mid game I've ever played. It's not good, it's not bad, it's just mediocre. I am neither bored nor am I having fun while playing it. I wish I spent my money on something else.
Fun Game
I LOVE single player RPGs, so this game is right up my alley! Obsidian is responsible for another one of my favorites, Fallout: New Vegas. The story is very fitting for this day and age, and I appreciate the game mechanics. All in all, ten out of ten! Very excited for The Outer Worlds 2!
