This New Fantasy Beat ‘Em Up Is Like Dragon’s Crown With Druids<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After the success of Fallout: New Vegas<\/em> in 2010, fans of Obsidian Entertainment\u2019s games have wanted either a sequel or another first-person RPG experience of similar style. New Vegas<\/em> saw Obsidian take control of Bethesda\u2019s approach to open-world games and, if you ask its devotees, make it better. Then in 2018 Obsidian announced its own science-fiction RPG, The Outer Worlds<\/em>, which promised to feature the same first-person perspective and sense of humor that New Vegas<\/em> was known for. According to director Tim Cain, the goal of the project was to be more inviting, appealing to casual players with a sense of \u201cFallout <\/em>meets Firefly<\/em>,\u201d a reference to Joss Whedon\u2019s short-lived 2002 sci-fi western TV show about a band of misfit rebels and outlaws who are never shy to crack a joke or two. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve played The Outer Worlds<\/em>, which also has its share of humor and interesting characters, you know that pitch actually harmonizes quite well with the final product. <\/p>\n
