In Space No One Can Hear You Scream…Except If You’re in the Halcyon Galaxy
My First 3 Hours of “The Outer Worlds”
It’s a tale as old as time: the drive to explore the unexplored and to live off the fruits of your labor. The Outer Worlds introduces a universe where Mankind has stretched beyond Earth and into space. Specifically, in this scenario, you are bound on a colonist ship that will travel to the furthest reaches of the galaxy. There you will find the New World and new opportunities! Cue the beautiful advertisement, the sheer ease of the travel in your hibernation chamber, and “perfect society” here we go.
Three hours into The Outer Worlds and the rose-colored glasses are ripped off. This is not the land of fruit and honey as advertised— well, it is…if you’re high enough up the food chain to enjoy it.
The Outer Worlds pulls you into a complicated galaxy and tells a story that is not as far fetched as one would think through its compelling missions, environment, and artwork.
So if you dare to read on and scream along with me, beware of spoilers.
