Description
The Outer Worlds is an award-winning single-player first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division. In The Outer Worlds, you awake from hibernation on a colonist ship that was lost in transit to Halcyon, the furthest colony from Earth located at the edge of the galaxy, only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy it. As you explore the furthest reaches of space and encounter various factions, all vying for power, the character you decide to become will determine how this player-driven story unfolds. In the corporate equation for the colony, you are the unplanned variable.

Game is a great alternative to fallout. In fact its pretty much fallout in space. Graphics arent anything to awe about compared to dedicated home consoles. Its more about the convience of being able to play almost AAA games on the go. Great game!

Great game I highly recommend if you like Fallout, Dont be surprised this port is coming with a price to detail and muddy graphics, overall solid gameplay, interesting story, open world do what you want when you want become what you want all compressed with Unreal Engine on the Nintendo Switch. I like to add it is remarkable how they managed to port this on the switch which is a hard feat to do, Good job and I hope we as the consumer will get another update to the detail and do away with the muddy textures. I'm enjoying this game very much.

The game itself: excellent story-driven RPG. Good character customization. It's not as grand in scope as a Fallout or Elder Scrolls game, but it is more polished. What is there works really well. Playing through a second time for a "dumb" character playthrough.
Switch port: Not visually impressive at all. Patches have helped. However, I will probably put in more hours into the Switch version than the PC version due to its portability. Definitely worth it if it is on sale.

Closest thing I can get to playing Fallout on the Switch. Game is definitely worth the play, but resolution wise there are better ways to play it. I'm playing it on the Switch and 20 hours in so far so good. Runs smoothly and shooting things is fun, but smashing things is better. Very much like Fallout melee. Story is fantastic and the settings are actually really beautiful in their own right, even on the Switch. [Dumb] Graphics, nice. Colors, pretty. Game, fun.

I played this entry after the new patches came out which supposedly fixed some frame rate issues and graphics all around. I never got to see the supposed previous problems and had a majestic time from beginning to end. I knew what I was getting myself into with this game and it didnt disappoint. The story is well told and the pacing is great. Combat is fun and there are a lot of weapons and style of weapons to choose from in the game. One of the few rpgs where there are also real choices and consequences to your actions.

This game is amazing and the closest thing at this moment and time to fallout for the Nintendo switch console. The graphics aren't bad at all and the game is highly playable. It just feels so good to take a game like this anywhere with you. Ofcorse there will be mixed reviews and this is a specific category of game so to each their own, but I like it a lot! I feel so space age playing it on the go.
