I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Peril on Gorgon. It delivered more of what I love about The Outer Worlds. If you enjoy the sort of misadventure the core game is famous for you should enjoy this expansion. However, if you weren’t sold the first time around, nothing about Gorgon is going to get you onboard now.

Firstly, I loved The Outer Worlds on the XBox One and when I heard there would be new DLC content, I was over the moon and if it delivered the same fun as the

The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon adds an engaging new story to The Outer Worlds. The new content, save for the new location to explore, doesn't change up the formula too much but that's absolutely fine. With a game like The Outer Worlds more of the same is a good thing. The new story content seamlessly weaves into the main story and feels like a natural extension of what was already there. The time to complete The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon is enough where it feels like a worthwhile extension but doesn't overstay its welcome and is the perfect reason to get back into The Outer Worlds.

Peril on Gorgon has an incredibly interesting opening segment and for those like myself who may have forgotten the games subtle humor and exemplary writing, it will al...

At the end of the day, Peril on Gorgon is more The Outer Worlds. Whether that's for better or for worse will largely depend on how much you're itching to re-enter the Halcyon Colony and how satisfied you are with the game as it is. Obsidian have doubled down on delivering best-in-class RPG design backed by fantastic writing and quest structure and a solid gameplay loop, even if it gets there without much of an attempt to break the mould. Hopefully the next expansion throws caution to the wind a little more, but if you're dying to jump back in I can absolutely recommend nipping off to Gorgon fo...

Fans of The Outer Worlds will be happy with Peril on Gorgon. However, for anyone else, fifteen dollars is far too steep of an asking price.

Space capitalism has its downfalls. The never-ending movement towards profits at human expense wreaks havoc in its wake. No matter the best intentions, the means will never justify the ends. This is especially true when those means sever a hand off of its owner and mail it to their last...
