With The Outer Worlds, Obsidian's future looks bright

In a market currently lacking in deep, nuanced role-playing games, Obsidian Entertainment struck gold with The Outer Worlds.

The gaming industry has been home to many different role-playing games (RPGs) in recent years, ranging from action-heavy melee slashers to sprawling open-world experiences. However, there has been a distinct lack of high-quality "classic" RPGs that feature in-depth world-building, nuanced skill systems, quality speech trees, and different approaches to combat scenarios.

The Outer Worlds, Obsidian Entertainment's latest title, stands out like a needle in a haystack, offering players the deep RPG experience that developers like BioWare and Bethesda have not. And after such a fantastic start with this new intellectual property (IP), Obsidian has the potential — and the talent — to seize this part of the market and capitalize on it moving forward.
