But it's not the only element that makes The Outer Worlds an excellent space Western adventure-that's just the incredibly sound foundation that elevates the game's great world-building, wonderful characters, and multi-layered quest design, on top of punchy combat and consistently sharp writing.

The Outer Worlds plays just like a Fallout game.
