The Outer Worlds: How Long To Beat The Fallout-Style RPG?

Wondering how long it takes to beat The Outer Worlds? Here's what our editors had to say.

30.

30 hours is more then enough for a RPG.

[shammgod]

It really depends. All RPGs are different

[Fist4achin]

Doporogig listed below is still working on it. What, I have no idea...

[execution17]

If it were to be like a fallout style rpg it would've had hundreds of hours worth of exploration, story and lore

[carcarias]

It's good to know this beforehand rather than go into the game expecting a 60-70 hour Fallout style campaign, or even a 100+ hours Skyrim/Witcher 3 experience, and suddenly finding yourself thinking 'Whaaaaat?!', when the credits start rolling.

I'll play on Supernova from the get go, like the harder setting in New Vegas and the like, in order to be forced to engage in all the gameplay mechanics and that's bound to make the experience longer.

Also, hopefully the reviews are correct about the gameplay styles encouraging a second playthrough.

[EazyC]

Well, New Vegas was 20 hours-cum 500, based on side-quests and sheer replayability so I imagine it's a good few more in reality

That's the right amount of time I'm willing to invest. still have a lot of games to get to.

"GameSpot reviewer Edmond Tran finished the game in about 30 hours. In that time, he completed the main quest and nearly all side quests. Jess McDonell, who created GameSpot's video review, also took about 30 hours to reach the credits. They both played on Regular difficulty for their first runs."

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I would have hoped 30 hours didn't include almost everything.

[carcarias]

Same here. I was hoping 20-30 hour main campaign and then another 30 for side quests, exploration, loot hunting etc,.

I was also surprised that I felt disappointed about the absence of romance options. I've never really cared about that sort of thing, or so I thought, but I've seemingly gotten used to them in this style of game without even realising it :s

[Duke19]

Im still excited for my copy to get here, but not going to lie that is dissapointingly short imo. 30 hours for the main quest only is totally fine, but people reporting basically completing everything in that amount of time leads me to believe this is actually a rather small game

[NeoGamer232]

No game should be rated on quantity.

I will take quality over quantity every time.
