RE: The Outer Worlds Review

in Hive Gaming5 years ago

I very much enjoyed TOW. One thing that really struck me was how the game didn't adhere to 'good choices' vs 'bad choices' - many choices you had to made were 'bad or worse' or even 'bad or bad.' Not seen often in RPGs.

Sort:  

This is the norm for most modern RPGs, though. The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Divinity Original: Sin 2, Kingdom Come: Deliverance etc all have this. It's not necessarily a good thing, sometimes a "bad vs worse" choice is frustrating, especially when you can think of a better solution and the game doesn't offer it. The best games will mix things up, not shying away from clear-cut "bad vs good" choices when it makes more sense.
