The install size comes in at roughly 40GB, which is pretty par for the course when it comes to huge experiences nowadays. With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare apparently pushing 175GB, this could be a blessing in disguise. In terms of required hardware, this isn’t too demanding at all.
While we haven’t thrown a score on The Outer Worlds just yet, Ryan Jones’ review-in-progress praises Obsidian’s latest as one of the finest RPGs in recent memory: ‘I’m only midway through The Outer Worlds, and won’t be delivering a final score until the main story (rumoured to be 30-40 hours long) is completed.
If it continues its fine form though, this will not only become one of my favourite games of the year, but one of my favourite RPG experiences full stop. With a wacky dark humour, an expansive upgrade system and branching storylines that make every action feel significant, Obsidian Entertainment looks to set a new bar for RPG games.’
