The Outer Worlds review

System: Switch
Release date: June 5, 2020
Developer: Obsidian / Virtuos
Publisher: Private Division


Almost eight months after its release on other platforms, The Outer Worlds finally makes its way to Switch, giving players the first real Fallout-esque experience on the hybrid console. The game provides a fantastic RPG experience that never feels too bloated and hits all the right notes with excellent pacing, but as for the new port, taking this ambitious game and bringing it to Nintendo’s console seemed like it may have been a bit much. We’ve seen some technical marvels appear on the platform, but there have been just as many letdowns from games that were just too poorly optimized to make for an ideal experience, even with the luxury of portable play. The Outer Worlds provides an galactic sci-fi epic that’s rich in content and immersion, and while it’s easily a game that should be a must-play for anyone with the slightest interest in RPGs, the Switch conversion is an odd bag that sits on the fine line between acceptable and sacrificial. Quite simply, The Outer Worlds on Switch is playable, but not optimal.

Hello my lovely listeners! This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast, we’re talking two great releases this week: Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, and The TakeOver. We’ve got more video game updates on Animal Crossing, Bug Fables, and even Yu-Gi-Oh!, then some Pokemon Sword and Shield DLC news. We have an excellent listener mail question about hidden gem series like Hotel Dusk, Famicom Tantei Club, and other obscure text-based, point-and-click adventures.

Ninjala

When Ninjala lands on Switch this month, it will be mostly be released as a free-to-play game. There will be paid elements, but anyone will be able to download it at no extra cost from the eShop to see what it has to offer.

We recently asked game designer Kazuki Morishita about the approach behind making Ninjala free-to-play. Speaking with Nintendo Everything, Morishita explained:

A new month rolled right on in earlier this week. Now that we’re in June, we want to know what you’ve been playing.

Have you been venturing through the world of Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition? Trying out the BioShock, Borderlands, or 2K collections for Switch? No matter the case, let us know in the comments below.

The Indie Live Expo 2020 presentation is about to begin. Today’s presentation kicks off at 4 AM PT / 7 AM ET / 12 PM in the UK / 1 PM in Europe.

Indie Live Expo 2020 is said to feature over 150 indie games, so presumably there’ll be some stuff here for Switch owners. We don’t have the full list of companies involved, though Inti Creates is one notable developer said to be participating.

You can watch Indie Live Expo 2020 as it happens below. If anything notable happens, we’ll report back on the main site.

Switch is about to receive another big game with the arrival of The Outer Worlds. The RPG comes from Obsidian, the studio behind Fallout: New Vegas, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and more.

Ahead of the Switch launch, we caught up with co-director Tim Cain and production director Eric DeMilt. We spoke about the Switch port, including the challenges involved. There’s also talk here for those that have already experienced The Outer Worlds, as Cain spoke about how the project changed since its early development, what it was like making a compact RPG, and more.

Here’s our full interview:

Hello my lovely inklings and octolings! This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast, we’re talking about the best Paper Mario game of 2020: Bug Fables. Then it’s on to pre-not-E3 hype (?) with more digital events, Silent Hill collab with Dead by Daylight, Amazon France’s mystery listings for Switch games, and a discussion of over-identifying with media. Have you ever taken personal offense to someone’s criticism of a thing you love? We’ve both got personal stories and ways to avoid it.
