Oh yes; that continues to be the only game I will part money with for this year.Can't wait, let's hope it follows the gameplay/character building like Fallout and Skyrim and not having to follow a given path like Red Dead did so you can roam the world and avoid having to complete st tasks. Then you can develop your character at your pace and if you find something hard leave it and do something else and come back to it later.

First reviews - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yifa8kwJ8bk
"The Outer Worlds is here and it is the Fallout game we never got. Deep choices, tons of replayability, and interesting quests. It’s a must play and instantly shot up as my favorite game of 2019."

Conversely from Eurogamer:
"A conventional, easygoing scifi RPG with slightly wasted satirical elements that fades very quickly from the mind."

Am downloading as this is typed.
Most reviews seem to be positive to very positive. The Eurogamer reviewer above clearly not a fan of the genre!
This quote from Gamespot seems to sum most reviews I've read up to now:
"But The Outer Worlds doesn't just play like a Fallout game. It is, surprisingly, the best possible version of a Fallout game--a potent distillation of what made that series so beloved in the first place."
Can't do a lot of playing for a while as am working from home today, but it will be downloaded and waiting for mid-afternoon.

Looks interesting, although the RPS review does rather damn it with faint praise

eg:
It’s not that it’s not, you know, a romp, but it can’t stop nakedly doing impressions of other things you like, like a kid at school going “What do you like? Yeah I like Douglas Adams too! 42! Belgium! Hahahah!”.

Yeah, the Vice first impressions here convey what the Eurogamer review is trying to say in a bit more cohesive fashion:

Doesn't look like a bad game by any stretch of the imagination and I'd likely enjoy myself, but after being a huge fan of Fallout 1, 2 and 3 I really didn't gel with the last few titles and Fallout 76 looks like such a hot mess I couldn't be less interested so it's put me off that style of game. I might well pick up the Outer Worlds in a year or so once it's on sale, but I'd imagine there will be other better offerings along soon.
