“You’ve tried the best, now try the rest.
More on that later.
It’s clear from the start that the Spacer’s Choice Edition is a huge visual improvement.
For now, let’s discuss what is better with this new version.
Despite that, The Outer Worlds has languished with visuals that weren’t particularly amazing even at launch.
Finally, the game feels and looksawesome, with cartoonishly oversaturated visuals making every vista pop.
It’s clear from the start that the Spacer’s Choice Edition is a huge visual improvement.
The massively improved visuals don’t translate to worse performance, either.
This is the best The Outer Worlds has ever been, but most players will never experience it.

The Outer Worlds Spacer’s Choice Edition is considered an all-new, completely separate version of the game.
You must buy the game (retailing for $60) if you want these enhancements.

Bishy (short for Bishy-Bashy), was the character I created for pure mayhem, after getting bored of playing through the intro I had already completed before.
When I finished playing, Bishy left Edgewater exactly as they found it… but with way less people.
The outskirts of Edgewater reflect my feelings toward this game.
