If you’ve yet to playThe Outer Worlds,it’s kind of like a modernFalloutgame crossed with something out of theFireflyuniverse. You play as the captain of a small spaceship, taking your crew around the stars to save the universe from very greedy corporations. Your crew is made up of several fun characters with their own storyline for you to explore. And really, they’re the bestpart of the game.

 The Outer Worldsbrings tons of that Obsidian humor and wit, while also providing a decent enough FPS RPG. Now, there are a few places where it misses the mark, but as an easy-going romp through space, it doesn’t get much better on current-gen hardware. And, with it finally hitting Steam, tons of players are going to start flocking in. Thus, this is a perfect time to see what the game is all about.

The Outer Worldsis available now on Nintendo Switch, PC (via the Epic Game Store), PS4, and Xbox One. It comes to Steam on October 23. So, dust off that leather vest and get ready for some exciting space escapades.
