I mean it objectively didn’t look like any Fallout game, it certainly didn’t play like any Fallout game, and it was space opera not post-apocalyptic. But please explain to me exactly how it’s just like Fallout? And which Fallout exactly?
First person Sci-Fi RPG with heavy criticism of capitalism and a retro futuristic look.
That’s like saying Cyberpunk 2077 looks like Fallout.
Cyberpunk is part of the cyberpunk subgenre and has a premade main character.
Fallout is a post apocalyptic game set in a retro futuristic universe.
Outer Worlds is not post apocalyptic but being in barren planets in the frontier gives it a much more similar vibe. It's basically a spiritual successor to Fallout that falls short in a lot of aspects.
I don't think Outer Worlds is bad but if they couldn't live up to New Vegas they shouldn't have set the expectations they did.
