Obsidian Entertainment has launched the early access of the first-person sci-fi role-playing game, OuterWorlds2. The game’s global release is planned for 2023-10-29.
Game Features and Reception
Players assume the roles of agents for the Earth Directorate arriving in the faction-ridden colony of Arcadia. Noteworthy features include non-linear quests, flexible skill development, companions with unique stories, and satire on corporate culture. The game's enhanced combat and the absence of Denuvo have been well received. The title was leaked an hour post-release, showing the Premium Edition with additional skins and a DLC Pass.
On Steam, the game maintains a positive rating of 88%. Players commend its optimization, graphical fidelity, engaging gunplay, and storyline.
Critical Feedback and Visuals
Critics, after the lifting of the NDA, highlighted the adaptive flaw mechanics, dynamic combat, and narrative depth involving six companions. NVIDIA's trailer showcased visual improvements, including ray tracing for realistic shadows and reflections.
