Oct. 2025

Started the game thinking I’d be a hero. Five dialogue options later, I was the CEO of chocolate factory.

I know this is quite cynical, but it's basically Fallout 4 in space, which is just essentially a dumbed down version of Fallout: New Vegas. The main character is so powerful that most fights are uninteresting and just generally tedious. The dialogue and writing is pretty lackluster. This just isn't a deep RPG with a captivating narrative in any respect. Honestly, this is just a brainless game to relax to after a long day. I recommend the game with this consideration in mind.

I wanted to like this game...it's ok... Just feels...stretched like butter scraped over too much bread... there is something to this game but I can't put my finger on what.

Aug. 2025

I had a good time, however, I have to mention: I know Obsidian marketed this with "Hey guys, we made New Vegas. You LOVE New Vegas!" This is not New Vegas. I know I bounced off the game until I met the game at its level. I can't take the game super seriously, because it doesn't really take itself seriously. The DLCs stand out as well-made, fun, self-contained little stories. Argueably liked them better then the main game, imo. So if you're wanting a satire of American Prosperity Gospel and our obsession with capitalism and profits above all else, I'd say its worth it.

May 2025

"You've tried the best, now try the rest." kind of game. It's a pretty neat world. It's competent, but I don't get the urge to play it. I stopped playing because the level cap was kinda low and I couldn't make my dream build come true within the allotted number of levels. Apparently spacer's choice edition fixes that, but the saves don't carry over. I am very conflicted on whether to recommend it or not. I genuinely enjoyed some parts of this game (I played it on the steam deck), but I really have to dig deep to find something this game excels at. Best I can do is it has a neat concept, a very cool world, and well-written and interesting dialogue. It also has some neat RPG elements, decent gunplay, but the completionist in me was utterly defeated by the level cap. Anyways, give it a shot if it's on sale.
