I searched the web, but it seems I’m the only one who sees it like this. I love “The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition” and have played it for many hours. The art style looks grittier, and more tangible than “The Outer Worlds 2”.
“The Outer Worlds 2” looks so sleek and clean. There’s something missing, and I can’t put my finger on it.
Digital Foundry did a comparison of the two versions, when Spacer’s Choice was released.
Man, I’d forgotten how much I hated the Spacers Choice edition! They turned on all the FX but honestly it just makes the environment look cluttered. And stuff like the volumetric lighting wasn’t really the improvement they thought it was, IMO. And the character models! I’d forgotten how much the lighting changes messed up the textures and face models for the characters.
