10/10 Absolute blast from start to finish, wouldn't change a thing

New weapons. New enemies and bosses. More of the same carnage. About 40 minutes per mission for me on Exterminatus difficulty, collecting secrets.

I'd've preferred if they'd just release the original Sonny. I enjoyed this well enough but mostly on account of the nostalgia. You may well not finish the game however as the last region is horribly overtuned and requires an absurd amount of grinding to avoid being one shot by many of the attacks even with max defence gear.

Not terrible, just blah. Very underwhelming build variety and upgrades. Even when you've got a powerful build going it just isn't satisfying to see it work. I like the idea of mining resources while fighting to break up the monotony that the likes of Vampire Survivors can suffer from, but too frequently they run against each other and not in a way that you can justify as simply needing to manage your time/resources better.
If the build variety is greatly increased, not just element type changes and number go up upgrades and tweak mining to not be quite so disruptive, I think they'll have a good game.

Add an autosave please, 4 hours lost to a crash, killed my desire to play

Fun game with a cool gruesome style. It's a little limited in areas but not hugely so. There's 9 classes each playing uniquely and having distinct strengths and weaknesses but each have a "correct" way to play so once you've played a class you've experienced all that class has to offer. There's a fairly limited, but still creative array of mobs to fight in each region as well but it isn't really noticeable as each interacts with each class differently, Pathfinder getting bullied by multi-hit enemies or Barbarian suffering at the hands of single, heavy-hitters. The bosses kind of suffer from the way mobs are done with many mobs posing as much challenge as the bosses. The biggest thing for medium term longevity for me is the quests and characters. There are tons of encounters and quests that can't all be encountered and completed in one or even have a dozen runs. These characters have interesting quirks and personalities and the solutions to their problems are often as suitable insane as they and the world are.

Incredible fun, didn't even think I liked metal till I played this but they sold me on it.

I thought this would be right up my alley after enjoying Telltales The Walking Dead and The Last of Us but sadly this wasn't it. I expected a touching story of a dying mother attempting to skill up her child to survive without her. What I got was checklists and grinding.

Fun, cheap wee game to pass time and give yourself a challenge. Good variety of enemies that actually feel distinct and require different strategies to kill. Only thing I'd like them to add is another map or two to present new challenges and mix up the scenery a bit.

First of all a warning I needed a mod (The tweaked Outer Worlds on Nexus) to fix performance. Frame rate was sub 20 on ultra, improved to 60 after the mod fix. Motion blur rendered you almost blind on any form of movement, not just turning and the game stuttered on every kill, both of which the mod perfectly resolved. You may also want to consider a reshade mod, the game is very overpoweringly vibrant. It wasn't much of an issue, it just looked a bit rubbish particularly in settlements on planet.
Base game was a bit meh. The story was extremely simple with no interesting or majorly disruptive twists or turns. They were also a bit too overt with their social/societal messaging they wanted to push. Not that I think having a message like that in your games is bad, just that they shared theirs poorly. The 'big corpo bad' narrative dumbed down the story and most dialogue interactions so there weren't really any hard choices to be made. The other message was a noble one of empowering women in positions of authority but the execution left much to be desired as it turned into 'all men are incompetent, all women are competent' with not a single exception to this. This one doesn't really effect the game all that much and can be overlooked easily enough, just a pity they couldn't do better.
Gunplay was simple but fun enough, I used heavy weapons predominantly. Modding weapons and armour was pretty bare-bones but did the trick and I liked that the modifications altered the look of the weapon.
The Eridanos DLC was also lacking. It had the same corpo bad sauce drizzled everywhere and the main objective of the DLC, investigate a murder, was done almost entirely for you via a handheld analyser, there was no opportunity to put your thinking cap on and solve it yourself.
The Gorgon DLC was far better. It provided an interesting story of a failed experiment with disastrous consequences. This story is well discussed through environmental storytelling, dialogue and computer logs which surprised me as the logs were mostly a waste of time in the base game. If it wasn't clear in the setting of the base game it will become abundantly clear that this game and this DLC specifically is something of a love letter to Firefly/Serenity but in a way that is creative enough in its own right to not be a rip off of the source.
Not recommended because while gorgon was great dlc the rest does not warrant spending money on.
