My opinion on The Outer Worlds 1 is that, you know, it was pretty much fine. It was a perfectly serviceable RPG and it was even pretty funny in spots. But it was sunk by the fact it came from Obsidian, which made some of the best RPGs of all time, and didn’t necessarily have…

Demiurgos, the next game from the developers of Martian terraforming sim Per Aspera, is revisiting playing god with a mix of old and new ideas that—after a few hours with…
