Man Outer Worlds was so cringe to me. I tried really hard to get into it but it felt like it just kept rehashing the same jokes over and over. “Haha I’m owned by a company and they’re cheap and I’m silly!” Just over and over and over. After 10-15hrs I put it down for good.
It’s like someone delivering a punch line and waiting awkwardly for the chuckles packaged into a game.
This is exactly how I felt playing it. The game played like a much improved fallout, but it took modern fallout's shitty cynical "everything is a joke" attitude and multiplied it by 10. It was insufferable.
Starfield has managed to tone it down, but every once in a while I see the fallout "jokes" pop up.
