The Outer Worlds

The short version is that this is probably the best RPG I've played this year. The dialogue is excellent, writing and voice line delivery is genuinely funny - I haven't laughed this much at a game's conversations for a long time. Everything else I have to say is basically down to the fact that you need to bear in mind that Obsidian aren't a AAA company, and this game has achieved a huge amount, but is probably limited by manpower and budget. I hope the success of this game fuels them to keep going and fund a larger game. This feels like a kind of modern Fallout-lite; it has the dialogue and the setting, but lacks scope & depth.
