Decent game for £4. The story is *ok*, the endgame is a bit meh. I enjoyed my first playthrough.

OK for 4 quid, don't know about the story as I rarely pay attention to such things, but it really does not get any better.

I loved this game. Gutted it flopped tbh

A number of games with a similar name keep tripping me up.

There's Outriders, Outer Wilds, The Outer Worlds (* the one that originally attracted my attention).

I'll just follow all three on Steam and wait for a very substantial reduction in price.

i Got out riders for £6 on epic 8f that helps.
Starting to like epic store more and more over steam.

Upsides:
Easier to find games
Cheaper for most part
Instant critic scores
Cleaner dlc add on buttons

Downsides
It certainly lacks community / friends support but I don't use those anymore.
Epic taking bit longer to load,
Setting section is bit meh from user experience

My brain still thinks they are the same game and people just don't know what it's called

That was my thinking at times, too.

Forgot all about this game as when the beta came out it didnt perform too well for me, is it pretty much fixed now?
wondering if its worth grabbing with the Epic store coupon for £6.49

is there fun activities/challenges to do at end game or is it just grinding for better gear to clear the same missions faster?

edit : ended up buying it, seems OK so far although im only lvl 10 but worth what i paid atleast

Expansion launched today. It looks promising as it seems almost a full rework of endgame along with a new campaign.

Cully · 28 Jun 2022 at 19:03

Yep its all about endgame and apparently its a really good endgame but also as one would expect repetitive, its what the game needed but asking €40 or there abouts on top of the initial cost a year ago is a bit much but i can see countless hours of farming to be had if you can put up with the repetition.

played the demo when it was 1st released back when

wasn't really impressed

You could grab the upgrade for around £20-23

I've played about 1hr of it, once the servers were working, and it's good ...

Cantankerous · 29 Jun 2022 at 09:19

I'm not sure I'm interested in grinding out the endgame again but I'm now avoiding spoilers on it. I've seen enough to know I'll enjoy it, did sink a lot of hours into it at launch. Going to wait for the first patch I think and then grab it as I'll easily get my money out of the campaign and endgame before dropping it again.
