The outer worlds switch review 720p#
Several environmental details are missing-much like The Witcher 3 in order to boost performance-and although it does try to maintain a consistent 30fps, I did see it dip a few times.įurthermore, while The Outer Worlds does output at 1080p while docked and honestly doesn’t look too bad, the 720p resolution on handheld does leave a bit to be desired.

As is to be expected, it is a noticeable graphical downgrade compared to its PS4, Xbox One, and PC counterparts. While The Outer Worlds is an admirable port on the Nintendo Switch, it does suffer in a few areas. The Outer Worlds – Review Screenshot Provided by Private Division But it’s not as limited as, “shoot the thing until it’s dead.” Companions each have unique abilities that can be utilized in combat, and dialogue skills can be utilized in combat- Persuade can cause enemies to cower, Lie can confuse robotic enemies, and Intimidate will cause creatures to flee-providing a wide variety of ways to approach each combat scenario based on your character build. Gunplay is incredibly tight and backed by the “Tactical Time Dilation” mechanic, which like Fallout’s “V.A.T.S.” system, allows players to slow-time mid-fight to target specific body parts for bonus damage effects-a shot to the head can cause blindness, whereas a shot to the arm will reduce enemy accuracy.
This is backed by some incredible writing, and moments of genuine humour that add so much flavour and depth to the strange world you’re exploring.įurthermore, combat is incredibly satisfying. Unlike Fallout 4, or The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim which really streamlined and gentrified character creation and questing the amount of versatility that is offered to the player-both in how you build your character, and how you approach every quest is staggering. The Switch port of The Outer Worlds keeps the base game wholly intact, and there is a lot to be said for it.
From there you’ll travel across the galaxy, completing quests, gaining companions, and possibly taking down space capitalism in the process…or perpetuating it….depending on how you play. For those unaware, The Outer Worlds places the player behind the lone colonist of the Starship “Hope,” awakened by Phineas Vernon Welles a fugitive scientist who wants you to help him awaken the rest of colonists still trapped aboard in hypersleep. Much like with my Borderlands review, I’ll get right to the point, since this game is less than a year old, and was already reviewed by my friend and present colleague Brendan Quinn.
