This game was good. Simple and good. I can't describe it in words. There was so much freedom like it. everybody in this game is killable even a lesbian I came across. damn! not a lot of games let you off with some freedom. Storywise it was good ig. until the end. It got a bit boring when I was near the end. Some side stories were on par with the main story, like Damn. Gameplay was typical. Nothing special. It didn't need to tho. it was ok as it was. But could have done a bit better with stuttering tho. whenever I entered an area it stuttered for the first 3 sec. Overall I enjoyed the game. I will finish the DLC when I am bored with other games.

As someone who never was into this type of games I actually enjoyed it quite much, specially the freedom it gave me to play it MY way: Kill everything and everybody on sight.

Yup. That's my playstyle.

And I could actually progress through the story like that (compromising a little here and there) with some cute details about me being an absolute fucking schizo deranged and unhinged character.

Not my style of game. Make a million decisions up front with no context about your character, go out and chat with people to gather quests, do the quests, gain generic loot which is identical to what you have, fight enemies in what is for the genre pretty excellent shooter combat, but compared to any actual shooter is ultra boring.

It is all fine. I see why people like it. To me, these types of games lack any sort of puzzling / strategy AND lack any sort of skill based gameplay. If I am going to play an RPG, I would much rather play something like Diablo with much much more interesting skill trees and loot. If I am going to play a shooter, I would much rather play an actual shooter with non-stop combat and interesting weapons or interesting tactics or interesting enemies.

People were too excited to shit on Bethesda for Fallout: 76 to notice the minor flawsof this game. It's good, but not amazing.

Not much replay value, to be honest? Just have companions or be a loner, be dumb as a rock or sharp as a tack.

Nice asexual rep tho, Parvati is a cinnamon roll

I rather like this game honestly. I don't think it's anything crazy and it sort of just runs through the standard Fallout/Bethesda formula for a game in this genre. But it does enough to stand on its own.
Your party is pretty good and memorable. Parvati is really the only one I was invested in, but the priest guy I know has a really interesting and complex sidequest that fleshes his character out. And a lot of your choices do matter, and you can even do things that aren't in game choices that will affect the quest. And you CAN kill everyone if you want to, that's always fun. I found the combat satisfying overall and there was good variety to the weapons, abilities, and enemy types. Good amount of content. The Switch port has been patched substantially so it is better.

That said, as a story it's very whatever. You don't feel invested in what's going on. It has lots of tedious missions. I am also just tired of games that have "weight" systems that limit what you can carry. There has been basically no instance where that mechanic is fun or interesting. All it does is to limit freedom, customization and flow having to stop every 5 minutes to dump all your crap away, then being forced to upgrade your inventory space to avoid the problem. A lot of the maps feel kinda empty.

There are more issues, but overall I think it works despite them. It's still fun and there's enjoyment to get out of it especially if you like Fallout type games.

I love the outerworlds! the storyline, the world, the combat and everything else. it's just fun to play every time. and one big positive thing is that you can play it several times because of the different storylines you can really decide how you want to play the game and you have a completely different experience almost every time you play it. You have a completely different story each time depending on which side you're on, you have different weapons each time compared to the previous time, you're always in different locations because some quests lead to different locations than others. Overall, the outerworlds is a really well made game that you can play through several times without getting bored. Another thing is that you have almost no barriers. You are completely free. you can kill every single person in this game even people who are important for the main story which is very unusual for games. Its just a really good feeling when you know that you can do everything you want to do.
