Review: The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition

An easy purchase for new players but maybe a hard sell for existing owners.

It was not until I reinstalled the original PC release of The Outer Worlds that I was able to really appreciate the improvements made with the release of The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition. Initially, I believed that this looked exactly like the same game that I had played on PC back in late 2019 when it first came out.

"I'm just not seeing what makes this Spacer's Choice Edition worth...

The latest season is entitled "INVASION" and yes, it involves aliens. It also includes a Rick and Morty crossover as well? There's probably more but it's hard to keep up with all of it.

    GoldenEye Maps Recreated Fully in Far Cry 5

    It took Krollywood over two and a half years to finish.

    Though I have never used it myself, I have heard that the level editor for Far Cry 5 allows for some rather detailed creations. And while 1997's GoldenEye probably isn't the most detailed of games by today's standards, it's still mighty damn impressive that someone took the time to faithfully recreate the game's 18 maps, minus the two bonus levels.

    YouTube creator "Krollywood" spent the better part of the...
