What if you could just escape, not just to a new city or a new country, but a new planet? Would that be far enough away from it all? Would you finally be free? Obsidian Entertainment's 2019 video game "The Outer Worlds" asks and answers that very question - and it might make you glad you never fled to that Martian settlement after all…
Set in the distant, human-settlement-filled solar system of Halcyon, "The Outer Worlds" is a highly acclaimed first-person shooter available on PS4/5, Windows, Xbox One/Series X/S and Nintendo Switch. You play as a character known only as 'The Stranger', released from stasis after your ten-year journey through space from Earth to Halcyon. Unfortunately, you are immediately informed that there's been a slight administrative error and the shipment of new settlers you were supposed to be a part of got lost in delivery - in fact, you're several decades late and the shiny new settlement you were promised is … well let's just say it's more dystopian than you were expecting.
