Comment on Thoughts on Space Games, Part 3: Too Many Tiny Games!
t3rmit3@beehaw.org 6 months agoI actually enjoyed Outer Worlds a decent bit, but I would consider it much less of a space game than Starfield. For all that people rag on Starfield about the ships just being loading screens, you got to manually assemble spaceships, and then walk around inside of them. Outer Worlds was really just spaceships as loading screens.
I don’t really go in for Annapurna games, for a number of reasons.

I probably should have specified that I meant Outer Worlds as an alternative to Starfield mainly for people interested in a game set in space with the familiar narrative and worldbuilding of Bethesda and Obsidian, particularly because it’s not uncommon to hear either of them referred to (maybe a bit unfairly) as “Fallout, but in space”.
Then again, most people interested in that would probably already have played it by now (although lots of new Fallout fans this year, so maybe not).
