The Outer Worlds 2 doesn't drastically change the already great formula developer Obsidian Entertainment created with The Outer Worlds more than half a decade ago. Instead, this expansive sequel follows in the footsteps of many other great RPG follow-ups, with more places to explore, more loot to find, and crucially, plenty of new ways to directly influence and shape your own adventure in space.

This idyllic destination is located on a moon called Eden, and while it may sound lovely, it's embroiled in a three-way conflict between the game's primary factions: The authoritarian Protectorate, the ruthlessly capitalist Auntie's Choice, and the scientific church that is the Order of the Ascendant. Following The Outer Worlds 2's prologue chapter, this is where players become truly acclimated with the game's new and improved systems in an open-world setting.

Owlcat Games' The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is a space-set third-person action-RPG based on The Expanse TV series and novels by James S. A. Corey.

"Deus Ex helped define the idea of what immersive sim means, pushing forward how games create reactive, grounded worlds, and defining player freedom and choice."
