The Outer Worlds 2 Review

The Outer Worlds 2's satirical hyper-capitalist hellscape puts player choice front and center - and it's mostly awesome as a result.

Gameplay and Features

The game's collection of medium-sized immersive sim-like sandboxes are brimming with detail and avenues for creative exploration.

Criticisms and Limitations

However, there are some minor missteps, namely in moments where the pacing slows down to a trudge, making for uneven momentum in how the adventure plays out.

Like Obsidian’s finest games, its latest offering teems with brilliant, witty dialog, strong anti-capitalist themes, and a plot where your decision-making can lead you down truly unpredictable paths.

Author's summary: The Outer Worlds 2 offers a unique blend of player choice and satire.
