Do you need to play The Outer Worlds 1 before The Outer Worlds 2? Here’s how the connections between RPGs look like

Obsidian Studio addressed the challenge of carrying over player choices from the first game by setting The Outer Worlds 2 in a new star system called Utopia. This sequel takes place hundreds of light-years away and features a completely separate story. While both games exist within the same universe, their narratives won’t connect. You won’t meet familiar characters from the original game, and your past decisions won’t have an impact. The sequel will provide all the necessary information, so prior knowledge of the first game isn’t required.

Painkiller review: An empty shell exploiting a legendary brand

Okay, so I was really excited about this game. The idea was amazing – take that classic demon-killing action, make it super fast-paced like those old-school ‘boomer shooters’, and let you play through it with friends. I was picturing something like Doom Eternal crossed with Left 4 Dead, a really dark and cool co-op experience. It sounded perfect, honestly. But sadly, it just…didn’t work. It really missed the mark on almost everything it tried to do.
