The Outer Worlds had me excited from the moment it was announced - a space fairing RPG from the makers of Fallout: New Vegas was enough to do that.

Obsidian have successfully created a charming and colourful universe I'm which is stupidly easy to get lost in. It has a cartoon-ish look to it, but the graphics are top level. The environments available to explore are frequently breath taking, and the game boasts some great creature designs to battle as you explore alien habitats.
It plays not too dissimilar to a Fallout title. Being an RPG, there are menus a-plenty to rifle through, but they have an appealing asthethic, and are relatively simple once understood, so they never feel like a chore.
The combat is fairly similar as well, but I would argue that it's smoother than Fallout ever has been.
The plot is engaging and has many different paths to take - I've only had one playthrough so far, but I can't wait to start a second (where I'll be acting like a dick for the most part), and all the characters you meet along the way are memorable. The writing is fantastic - the dialogue is frequently funny, and is a big factor in why this game is so easy to love.
Like many RPGs these days, you can have companions with you. Recruiting a crew to join your adventure is something I absolutely LOVE about the Mass Effect series, so it was nothing but a pleasure to experience something similar here - each potential recruit comes with a set of loyalty missions and everything!
To top the whole thing off, it has an amazing musical score to accompany your journey.

I really don't have anything negative to say about The Outer Worlds. I've heard talk about some DLC in the future which is exciting, but I really hope Obsidian carry it on into a franchise. I'll be there on day one!

Perseverance pays off apparently
I absolutely love the Uncharted series, so when The Last of Us launched at the end of the PS3s lifecycle, I was naturally excited to play it. I didn't get very far before I gave up on it. It just failed to grab me, and I couldn't quite figure out why.
Fast forward to the Remastered release on PS4, and I had exactly the same issue. I got a little further this time (reached the abandoned hotel) but just got distracted by another game and never bothered to go back.
About a month before TLOU2 released, I decided to give it one last try, and it finally clicked into place.
Before I knew it, I was obsessed with finding as many supplies and resources as I could, checking every dark corner and locked room, as I slowly grew to care deeply for Joel and Ellie along the way.

This bleak and unforgiving world of TLOU is possibly what put me off before, but this time around I found it easy to get lost in (definitely nothing to do with the current state of the real world...probably).
The combat is a little jumpy at times, but it has that unmistakable Naughty Dog design that has since been perfected and it's easy enough to get used to. Whilst I wound up frustrated at enemy encounters early on, by the games halfway point it all felt a lot smoother and satisfyingly brutal.
The "zombies" are straightforward enough, but the design of the Clickers is something original and particularly nasty.

The narrative is the main draw for TLOU though. The characters of Joel and Ellie are so well crafted, and the back and forth between the two is extremely well written. The sense of protection that I felt for Ellie was strong, so hats off to Naughty Dog for smashing that element.

I'm glad I finally got round to seeing the appeal of TLOU. It's a well crafted adventure that deserves the praise it gets.

I also lost interest around the abandoned hotel. I've recently been thinking of revisiting the game now that I have more time to play.

I would definitely recommend it. Maybe try playing it when you have no other games to distract you, but I completely understand the hesitation!
