The Outer Worlds: A Class-Centric Perspective
In The Outer Worlds, the decision to avoid racial and gender discrimination aims to emphasize class issues, yet this choice results in a somewhat jarring tone. Tim Cain notes that while this focus is commendable, it inadvertently detracts from the richness of character interactions. - The game presents a vibrant universe, but the lack of diverse backgrounds can feel flat. - Characters often lack depth, making it hard to connect emotionally. The dialogue options are engaging, yet they sometimes miss the opportunity for deeper cultural commentary. Overall, while the game excels in humor and gameplay, its thematic choices leave a lingering sense of disconnection.
