The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition Review – Nothing Of Note

The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition is a by the numbers re-release for current gen consoles that's let down by underwhelming visual upgrades and performance issues.

The Outer Worlds is an action role playing games released back in 2019. We found the game to be a classic case of a product squandering its potential, and now the developer has now re-released the game for current gen consoles under the banner of The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition. This iteration of the game includes everything into one cohesive package souped up for the new generation of consoles and PC. And I’m using the term “souped up” in a very generous fashion, because my experience with The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice edition has been filled with all sorts of performance issues and crashes that result in an underwhelming experience.

The Outer Worlds begins with the player waking from a years’ long cryosleep by one wanted scientist named Dr. Phineas Welles. The game doesn’t waste much time with its exposition, and you are quickly thrust into the thick of it as you begin your adventure to free the remainder of Hope’s colonists which should theoretically solve all of Halcyon’s long standing problems – though the narrative quickly starts to branch into a ton of different tangents not too long after.

[...]

In conclusion, The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice ends up being a half baked package that doesn’t really justify its price tag. Whatever miniscule upgrades have been done to the experience don’t really amount to much in the grand scheme of things, and with performance issues galore – Spacer’s Choice isn’t the definitive edition of the game that it clearly wanted to be. It’s an easy pass for those who have already played through the game and its DLCs. And those who haven’t played it, they might be better off sticking to other better games in the genre.

Score: 5/10
