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.

So the important question. Which is the worse port, Ark Survival Evolved or The Outer Worlds?

I wonder how well Ark sold on Switch?

Edit: Oh yeah, definitely Ark is uglier. 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.
