About four hours in now. Only thing that really annoys me is the framerate drops during fights with enemy mobs outdoors. Exploration and indoor combat is fine, and I can look passed the ugly textures. The core game itself is superb; the depth of customization, fantastic writing, and meaningful choices and consequences keep it enjoyable even if the mechanically excellent combat is somewhat diminished by the performance issues.

I had forgotten just how bad it looked. There are N64 games with better graphics, lmao. The Outer Worlds at least looks as good as a 6th gen game. |
This is not even in the same league as Ark, not even remotely. Ark could drop to sub-N64 resolutions even in docked mode, with much worse assets.
Let's not get carried away. It's not a good port, but it's not catastrophic either.
