Borderlands fans will like Outer Worlds. The game is probably a notch below in quality than Borderlands, but it has several attractive features that take it beyond just a simple first-person shooter. For instance, you have to go slow and accumulate the power to move forward, or you'll be stuck in a loop of being constantly killed by enemies who can fight you off easily. I'd recommend this game for players who may be numbed by the mindless carnage of war games and who like to plan and manage the outcome without the nuclear option. I rated this game 4 out 5 stars because it slows down play for reloading after your character inevitably dies. Also, it gets a bit confusing with all the options for weapons upgrades and ammunition stocks where 150 shots can be depleted at a rate of 10 for each shot fired. Read full review

I described 'The Outer Worlds' to my friends like "playing in the world of Firefly." Not that the characters are the same, but the retro future setting, the charm, and the wit of that excellent, short-lived series are all here. Gameplay is as familiar and fun as anything you'll find in a modern role-playing game, from Skyrim to Fallout to Mass Effect. The familiar gameplay loop of combat, exploration, crafting and more is pretty much here, and executed well. What elevates "The Outer Worlds" to something you should play is the outstanding characters and the rich storyline. There's only a couple ways the overall story can end, but how you get there is definitely fun. That being said, now that I've finished the game I'm not compelled to play it over again, at least not anytime soon. Plan to play this once, and enjoy accordingly.Read full review

If you love Fallout 3 and New Vegas you will love this. Everything you loved about Fallout that wasn't in 4, is here. Plus great graphics!

Great game. A little glitchy at times, but enjoy the open world. If you love Mass Effect 3, this game is in the ballpark.
