The Outer Worlds 2 has landed right alongside Obsidian's previous, smaller sci-fi RPG, stoking debate among fans about how much the sequel has actually improved and how the developer's recent games hold up in the shadow cast by the likes of Fallout: New Vegas. On that last point, Daniel Vávra, director of Kingdom Come: Deliverance and fellow 2025 RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, clearly leans toward unfavorably.
Vávra shared his assessment of The Outer Worlds 2 in a recent Twitter post that's added fuel to already fiery discussions of what makes a good RPG. To Vávra, it seems, the secret is in reactivity and innovation, and he's hoping to see more of both from Obsidian.
