Replaying the Outer Worlds sober is already paying off, I didn't read all those computer things before
I really wish this game was better. Got very repetitive and shallow very quickly and the RPG elements weren’t amazing. I really like that they went so openly anti-capitalist, even that’s presented in a pretty low-hanging-fruit “every single capitalist operator is extremely blatantly evil” kind of a way

That game had great themes and writing. Shame about the actual game play being pretty mediocre though.
