We got our hands on a preview of The Outer Worlds 2 in August and had a great time with it. Our reviews editor Jesse said “The Outer Worlds 2 feels, looks, and sounds better than the original game, which I enjoyed, in every way. This prologue sets up an intriguing mystery based around the game’s skip-drive technology.”
It’s safe to say that we are looking forward to the full release, and will have a comprehensive review for you soon.
