During that time the system has turned into a dystopia where all the colonies are completely owned and controlled by various corporations. This is too long a time for anyone to stay in suspended animation so the Board, who control the corporations on the colonies, left the ship at the edge of the system and claimed that it was lost. Unfortunately the Hope’s skip drive (the game’s version of a hyperspace drive) failed or malfunctioned and a trip that should have taken ten years instead took seventy. You are The Stranger, a colonist aboard the ship Hope, one of two colony ships sent to the system to terraform and colonise it. The game takes place in a retro-futuristic setting, like the Fallout games, but this time you are exploring Earth’s colonies in the Halcyon system. Take-Two Interactive, who owned the publishing label Private Division, had secured the publishing rights before the acquisition by Microsoft was finalised however, and it has sold more than 2.5 million copies as of February 2020. Development started in 2016 and used the Unreal Engine, but during this time Obsidian was in the process of being bought by Microsoft Studios.
The game sits in an interesting place from a development standpoint. When checking Steamcharts, the game’s popularity is about average currently, compared to most of the Fallout games except Fallout 4, with an average player count of 1367.
#THE OUTER WORLDS METACRITIC FULL#
Released on 25 October 2019 for Windows PC, PS4 and XBOX One to overall positive reviews, it drew some complaints at the time for only being available on the Epic Games Store for a full year before being available on Steam. That last one is also appropriate since like Fallout: New Vegas, it was developed by Obsidian Entertainment, but published by Private Division. The Outer Worlds is a first-person action-RPG very much in the style of the Bethesda Fallout games like Fallout 3, 4 and New Vegas. Fair warning there will be quite a few comparisons to the Fallout games, especially the ones created by Obsidian Entertainment and, to a lesser extent, Black Isle Studios. What it gets right (and wrong) along with any bugs that exist. It will be a critical review of what the game is like to play in the year 2022.
