Title kinda says all.
I'll have my own reply later.

Outer Worlds is better than most people make it out to be. It ain't New Vegas, but without the support of a giant like Bethesda, it was never going to be. The enemy and weapon design gets a little bit same-y after a while, and they return to the classic Fallout structure where every mission has a good ending and a contrarian ending. But where the game really shines is the companions, their quests, and how they interact with almost everyone. Listening to my crew get to know one another has been a real highlight.
Starfield has made me appreciate Outer Worlds so much more. Gameplay was fine, and while the politics weren't great, they were certainly good by comparison.
I started playing Outer Worlds because I don't own anything that can run Starfield. Outer Worlds has been infinitely more visually appealing than the sterile, white, John W. Campbell blandscape that is Starfield.
Even just the the advantage of hand-crafted but relatively small open world areas over endless procedural nonsense is staggering.
I also had that problem with No Man's Sky, but I also haven't checked in on that one in a while.
