gloomseeker Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I've already preordered but it's good to see that it's living up to expectations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarack21 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 It's getting a bunch of really glowing reviews and some "Good, but here are the flaws" reviews. So far I've only seen one that was apathetic and *none* that are actively "this game sucks". Sounds like a quite strong set of reviews to me.

Infinitron Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) So apparently the game's sixth and final companion is a robot named SAM. Edited October 22, 2019 by Infinitron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_ragnarokkr Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/the-outer-worlds/critic-reviews So far, TOW has an 86% metascore, which is outstanding considering it's an old-school RPG with a limited budget and it's not a sequel of an existing IP. For reference, Fallout: New Vegas had a metascore of 84%. TOW is turning out better than I had hoped. My body is ready. The hype is real.

C2B Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) OpenCritic has an amalgation of all reviews (70+) Score is still 86. It also lists amount of critics that recommended it to incorperate sites without scores. (95% of all reviewers recommended it) https://opencritic.com/game/7413/the-outer-worlds Edited October 22, 2019 by C2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's BEFORE release, wait till all the steam fanbois can swarm the public reviews on the 25th and drive it down just because they are mindless steam drones... It will happen.

Mikeymoonshine Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I haven't heard many criticisms of the game that weren't things that were intentional and not to the critics taste or stuff that is a result of the small budget like the areas being a bit small. Some critics had some issues with combat but then some loved it. I heard one critic say the reputation system could have been more meaningful. All in all a pretty amazing result for this game.

It's clear to anyone who played FNV when it first came out that it was released way too early. I guess Bethesda didn't want FNV to look too good in comparison to their Oblivion with Guns.

Ideally, there would be no kill XP, but it is what it is. I guess... I dunno… let the designers die on every hill. It's their job to make the game. It's my job to play and hopefully enjoy it. If you understand that, then you'll understand this: congrats, mate. "Not for the sake of much time..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
