I felt low-key burned by The Outer Worlds so I'm going to be more reserved about this one.

I also felt that way. It felt like the soul of an interesting Fallout style game shoved into the shell of something else. Maybe it was just the space setting, but I found none of the characters to be enjoyable and the parody of late stages capitalism that Spacer's Choice was just fell flat.

Yeah, I feel that the issue is that they were trying to pull off the next New Vegas but with none of Bethesda's backing. Furthermore, any actually good anti-capitalist critique was gonna get them in trouble with their Microsoft overlords. Not saying that was the issue but, why even go down that route, when if you actually did write something good, it was only gonna upset upstairs?
