I have +1.5k hours across all the Fallout games, and in general love Tim Cain’s games, and so no surprise I liked Outer Worlds. It’s smaller in scope than some people wanted, but considering the size of the team that developed it, it’s got a lot packed into it. Writing is top notch, gun play is fun, only real knock against it was that it was too easy.
I think what a lot of people missed from the original video is that while it wasn’t the point, the first games did critique capitalism even if that wasn’t the main point. Would highly recommend people check out Tim’s videos directly - each one is usually about only 15 minutes long, but taken together is a masterclass on game dev and story telling.
