I swear to God if the lazy bastards over at Nintendo HQ end up ruining this game!

The new location and subclass are cool & fun but the story & narrative felt rushed especially after the second mission and we got like 30 seconds of actual important story cutscene and now have to wait a whole year to figure out the rest...

The characters are also annoying , especially Nimbus which is a whole freaking abomination of weird voice , bad voice acting and badly written dialogues.

Overall i feel like this DLC could be much better but oh well gotta grind the light out of it anyways!

I always avoid writing a review before at least beating a major part of the games , but for this one , no matter how good or bad the game itself is , this review will remain negative until Ubisoft stop being as anti-consumer as possible and add the most basic steam features such as "steam achievements" to their "steam releases" !
If i wanted to play it without them i'd already get your games on EGS/Ubisoft Store !

It already felt like selling this DLC for 40 bucks wasn't really justified compared to the amount of content it offers which are mostly cosmetics & weapons and even those mostly require hard grinds and are not instant unlocks , and now that they are giving it away for free on EGS after less than 9 months since it's original release on steam i feel like a clown for buying it at full price!
Average post Halo Reach greedy Bungie move.

Funny Fallout 3 clown for 10 bucks,where else can you find a better deal? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Do you recommend this game?

☐ Yes

☐ No

☑️FLARK YE I DO!

At first,i have to mention the fact that i've never watched nor read any of the GOTG movies/comics, and totally went in blindly without any idea of how good or bad the overall concepts are.

Now to the review:
It's rare to see devs putting that much love and passion into their games thesedays, and instead fill them with tons of useless microtransactions and lame content to grab as much money as possible. But Marvel's GOTG is an exception that is filled with the love, effort and creativity of its developers!

The game is freaking cool! The moment I started it and heard the 80s banger in the main menu, I knew I were in for one hell of a ride.
Speaking of 80s bangers, the soundtracks of this game are just amazing! Both the chosen 80s-retro songs and the original STAR-LORD BAND soundtracks are fire! And also the emotional and sad soundtracks in certain situations…they all kicked the right spot at the right time!

The art design of the game is also really good, from the Star-Lord's journal to the design of the worlds and planets, and the beautiful graphics and effects really shine for the most parts!

Gameplay was fluent and smooth, and I liked the combat and the action, but it all just started to feel a bit…just a tiny bit repetitive, this is probably the only complaint I can have about the game.

The story is basically Persona 4 but in space, not that I'm complaining! You have to play both games to understand what I mean, but that's really all that is need to be said about how great the story was, and the character...man the characters are all SO likeable and i really feel empty now after finishing the game and leaving them…
The great voice acting and the enormous amount of dialogues which are mostly well written both for funny&funky and sad or serious situations along with awesome facial expressions really gives all the characters the personality they deserve, and you keep getting to know them and feel more connected to them more & more throughout the story.

There are also choices to make here and there and they are not too important like some choices-matter or role playing games,but you better try to make the best choices since they make some epic and awesome moments and kinda give you the "golden" ending.

All things said, now I really look forward to any possible sequels to this game, and sure keep my hopes up for it to be as good as this game was, if not even better! Thanks to every single one of the developers and anyone involved with this project to make it happen.

P.S : Cosmo remains the best boy!

After spending much more time than I expected into this game to fully finish the main game and both of its DLCs completely,i must say i really enjoyed it, at least for the most parts.

The game looks gorgeous! The rather retro-futuristic design of everything in this game really stands out and the gameplay is decent,such as running and walking animations,shooting,etc.

The dialogues and writing is good for the most part, but it sometimes falls short.
Specially since they flexed so hard on this game being the devs of the classic Fallout games and Fallout NV's next big game, well the absence of Chris Avellone's godlike writing is horribly clear throughout the whole game.

Soundtracks are decent, hit-and-miss IMO.

The RPG elements and perk system are as good as you'd expect from an open world action RPG, not too complicated like some hardcore RPGs but also not too simplified the game feel empty.

As for the story and plot of the game, i have to talk about the base game and its 2 DLCs separately.

First the base game :

The story is engaging enough for the most parts, and the plot is rather simple and does its best to show you the horrors of a world fully under the control of cruel corporations.
However, it is too short and leaves you like : Ok, that was it?! Even for me who spent actually much more time than the intended time to finish the game, the game felt lacking in the end. That's actually a reason I really look forward to the second game tho!
7/10

Now, The Peril on Gorgon : This DLC really feels like the pre Wastelanders update fallout 76, except for a few interactions with certain people, most of the story is told trough terminals, robots and audio tapes you find all around the map.
I REALLY liked the atmosphere and the overall feeling of Gorgon, and the main plot was interesting, but it has its own problems when it comes to the ending and the logic of many things happening throughout the story, i avoid going deeper into it to avoid spoilers.
7/10

And finally, the best piece of The Outer Worlds for me ,the Murder on Eridanos DLC!
This DLC is just awesome! The story is so interesting from the beginning, and it's filled with mind-blowing plot twists (at least for me)
The cast of characters you meet in this DLC are much more interesting than the rest of the game, and the choices you make feels much more satisfying and meaningful. I also love the sense of mystery that covers the whole DLC and how you as the inspector are the one to settle everything.
9/10

P.S : The game had more than its fair share of technical issues and game breaking bugs for me, one of them made a whole area of the game hostile despite not having any enemies around, so I wasn't able to finish a side quest since I couldn't interact with a terminal.
And the latter totally avoided me from continuing peril on gorgon from a certain point, I contacted Private Division's support regarding the issue, and they couldn't be any help, hence I had to make an entire new save only to finish that DLC.

To wrap this up, The Outer Worlds is a very good game, which could be great if it didn't fall short in some important areas, I keep my fingers crossed for the second game!

I really didn't expect much from a 343 halo campaign after Halo 5,but you bet I was wrong...

The game *for me* feels indeed like a halo game, of course being open world might damage some parts of the OG experience, but it also adds A LOT into it!

The zeta halo is gorgeous, stunning and full of stuff to discover and things to do (In a farcry style tho, you can't really expect too much variety in activities when it comes to an open world halo)
But I wish there was more environmental variety throughout the map because it almost looks and feels the same everywhere except for the interiors and some missions.

As for the gameplay, infinite plays so smooth and enjoyable, and man that grapple hook is just SO COOL!

Chief is at his best since Halo 3,and unlike Halo 4 and 5 he is back to his "Speak less, but more efficient" route
His relationship with the pilot and the "weapon" is also such a nice narrative to follow, and overall I think it's up there with Halo 4 being the two best halo stories 343 have created.

Infinite is a breath of the fresh air in the "Modern Gaming" market where you can hardly ever get your hands on a "FUN AND ALMOST FINISHED" game, really looking forward to any upcoming DLCs !

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one!
