  • Finally playing The Outer Worlds. Oooof. Good game.

  • Really?

    It's a lot of reading and not much gamey game beyond "find this NPC's backstory and collect loads of worthless loot that you can't sell"

    Each to their own.

  • The setting puts me in mind of Borderlands, which is an unfortunate comparison.

    I think it's trying to be serious-ish but also a bit jokey, which is hard to pull off if you're half-expecting Borderlands. The po-faced "bad corporations and meaningful choices but they're all bad" attitude sits uneasily with the comedy too.

    It keeps throwing loot at me but doesn't work as well as a loot shooter (comparing stats is harder and there are so many of them).

    I mean, I'll still finish it.
