While it’s not quite the same as V.A.T.S., they both exist for essentially the same purpose. This allows the player to slow down time and make more accurate decisions, allowing the targeting of weak spots. Due to waking up from cryosleep, the player has a sort of space sickness that makes time process differently. Where Fallout has V.A.T.S., The Outer Worlds has TTD, or Tactical Time Dilation. This includes melee weapons, guns, and even special science weapons with unique effects.Įnemies are all over the place too, be it the native wildlife of each planet or the various factions with their own beliefs. They’ll also have plenty of unique weapons to utilize against the various enemies they’ll come across. Since the game takes place in space, unlike Fallout, the player will travel to various planets with large open-world playgrounds to explore. The game is very dialogue heavy, wielding tons of fully voiced NPCs to talk to and make choices with. The gameplay is going to feel incredibly similar, taking place in a first-person perspective with tons of objects to interact with. It doesn’t stray too far from Fallout: New Vegas, another title developed by Obsidian.
#THE OUTER WORLDS OPEN WORLD SERIES#
How the player decides to play things out is up to them, and there are plenty of moments where choice is key.įans of the Fallout series post Fallout 3 will be familiar with this formula. They’ll go up against mega corporations in an alternate future where said corporations control the lives of everyone. This launches players into an interplanetary adventure in the Halcyon solar system, where their choices determine the overall outcome of the plot. The remaining colonists are still stuck in hibernation, but Welles helps the player created character on their path to helping them. Phineas Welles, a Doc Brown-like scientist, wakes up a single colonist from cryosleep on the vessel known as HOPE. The story of The Outer Worlds is surprisingly to the point and simple. It’s up to the player on how they wish to act upon them. The game gives players plenty of options, and that’s perfectly okay.
While The Outer Worlds is definitely guilty of having the same overwhelming elements of WRPGs before it, that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy my time with the game. Combining many elements from Mass Effect and Fallout, does The Outer Worlds have what it takes to stand out? We certainly think so.įirst off, I have to mention that I often don’t get along with this genre of games. That trend continues with their newest action RPG IP, The Outer Worlds. This is the case for all the games from Obsidian Entertainment, whether it be Alpha Protocol or even South Park: The Stick of Truth. Plenty of games give players choices to do what they want in any given situation. Choice is a powerful thing in video games.
