The Outer Worlds 2

Jumping back into the chaos of corporates and space travel, the sequel The Outer Worlds 2 drops you into the shoes of an Earth Directorate agent in a far-flung colony where reality’s been ripped apart and megacorps are scrambling for control. The game has sharp writing, wild weapons, and the same sharp satire that made the first game a standout. Your choices ripple deep, companions have actual agency, and the environments are more reactive than ever. It’s familiar yet refined—if you loved the original, this one turns the dial up on everything you liked.
