- The Outer Worlds 2 may not be the most innovative RPG, but what it does, it generally does very well. A step above the original game, TOW2 is worth the price of admission if you prefer story over run and gun action.

· Oct 29, 2025 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - A confident, witty, and deeply reactive sequel that turns satire into sincerity, The Outer Worlds 2 proves Obsidian's brilliance still burns brightest among the stars.

Rhys Wood · Oct 24, 2025 Reviewed on PC, Series X|SRead full review - The Outer Worlds 2 is goofy, gorgeous, and a delightful expansion of what made the first game so engrossing.
· Oct 24, 2025 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - A roarcus space-fairing romp that would make Douglas Adams proud. 4.5 Don't Panic The Outer Worlds 2 is a smart and charming RPG that playfully thumbs its nose at the sorry state of the modern world in the way that only decent science fiction with a keen eye for satire can.
· Oct 24, 2025 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - The Outer Worlds 2 succeeds in being a bigger and better sequel, buoyed by an even greater emphasis on player choice and freedom. Its RPG mechanics are largely fantastic, and there are key improvements to both combat and exploration.
Robert Ramsey · Oct 23, 2025 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - The Outer Worlds 2 expectantly addresses the shortcomings of its rather short predecessor, adding to the formula to give players even more opportunities to shape the adventure. Though your throughline narrative will likely look similar to mine when you roll credits, the choices at your disposal, whether in or out of combat, and what you do with them in the game’s various predicaments, will provide a unique flavor that will likely remain your own. The Outer Worlds 2 doesn’t break the mold of RPGs of this ilk, but it does use that well-established framework to craft the reflexive adventure Obsidian has been clearly working toward for years. The result is my favorite Obsidian game yet.
Wesley LeBlanc · Oct 23, 2025 Reviewed on PS5 - The Outer Worlds 2 is bigger and better than the first game in every respect, with deep, rich role-playing and plenty of freedom to tailor your experience. Every world feels curated, and exploration is always purposeful and rewarding. Topped off with a vast range of weapons, brilliant writing, and a story and character that's yours to shape, this is Obsidian doing what it does best to deliver an engrossing RPG you'll want to replay again and again.
Heather Wald · Oct 23, 2025 Reviewed on PC, PS5, Series X|SRead full review - The Outer Worlds 2 is a fairly iterative sequel, and that's not a bad thing at all.
