to clarify, this is the Corporate Hellscape in Space rpg “Outer WORLDS”, not the comfy mystery game (with existential dread elements) “Outer WILDS”.
Man. Such a shame those games came out at the same time with effectively the same name
Outer Wilds is probably older. There was a prototype in 2012 for the guy’s master’s thesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2AIOT24MWk
And I remember playing a beta version 3 years before release or so with a few less planets and much more primitive graphics.
It also certainly doesn’t help me remembering which is which when in Outer WILDS you explore different worlds and in Outer WORLDS the tutorial area is kind of an overgrown wilds in which you explore very few worlds. When I have to talk about either one of them I just say “You know, the one with the crazy gravity physics and planets” or “You know, the one that’s basically just Firefly the video game.”
It’s even more confusing talking about the game because you can fly your ship into the sun in both.
Shows me $29.99 now
It was only available for free on 2023-12-25.
I was tried claiming it on the day it was free, but I’m assuming that since the website kept trying to translate from another language I think the time zones were off from mine and the sale ended early from my perspective.
Thanks!
The price is right. This is the only game I ever refunded on steam. It is way more linear than they made it out to be.
If you have heard bad things about this edition performance wise, it’s in the past. Played it around 1 or 2 months ago and had no issues whatsoever.
Game itself is quite good. Liked Fallout better, but had fun with this one as well. Combat might get a bit dull after a while, but everything else was alright. Main story was solid, but don’t expect anything groundbreaking, same goes for side missions and DLCs. World / atmosphere was really cool, companions and dialog options were a lot of fun. You can take the usual evil/good path and slightly change the world (available missions) around you.
