Reactions to The Outer Worlds 2 have been pretty mixed here aboard the good ship PC Gamer. Ted Litchfield was pretty hot on the game in his Outer Worlds 2 review, scoring it 83% and calling it "A great RPG that surpasses its predecessor." Others? Less hot, like our Fraser Brown, who found the game's attempts at satire toothless and disappointing. We contain multitudes around here.
I think Daniel Vávra, director on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 and 2, hews closer to Fraser's position. In a post on X, Vávra said he'd finished Obsidian's latest and gave it a sober "7/10" (that's 70% in god's own review system). But he's disappointed: "What I find sad," wrote Vávra, "is that the company and the people who gave us one of my favorite games ever (Fallout and New Vegas) have been unable, even after 15 years and with all of Microsoft's money and latest technological advances, to come up with a single new game mechanic that could take this proven but ancient formula somewhere new."
