The Outer Worlds
Fallout in space. That’s the pitch for The Outer Worlds—which is not to be confused with Outer Wilds, another great space exploration title currently not on sale. Developed by Fallout: New Vegas creator Obsidian Entertainment, The Outer Worlds brings the studio’s signature player-centric open-world RPG design to a space setting rife with sharp satire and western homages. The ability to choose how you approach situations (be it with a gun or with your words) in many major story beats and more minor interactions creates a living breathing world that makes the player feel truly important in more ways than just being the protagonist of a predetermined story. Running around and uncovering every little detail of The Outer Worlds setting is worthwhile, as its frontier western twist on the space adventure is perfectly pulpy.
