My review of The Outer Worlds 2! I adored it, but had a lot to say about how I feel Obsidian needs to be more earnest. The best moments are when the writing takes the setting and themes seriously www.thegamer.com/the-outer-wo...
The Outer Worlds 2 Review - Shoots For The Moon, Lands Among The Stars
The Outer Worlds 2 improves on the original in every way and is Obsidian's most reactive RPG yet - but I wish it took itself more seriously.

My heart is utterly broken for everyone who got laid off today, I don't have the words to express how angry and scared this makes me.
TG will never be the same, and it sucks.

After 6 years with TheGamer, Valnet has decided to shut down features and lay off the entire team, including me.
I don't know what's next for me but I intend to stay in games, whether that's at another outlet, consulting, or PR. If you have any leads, I'd appreciate any help

If anyone who was laid off from TheGamer today has a piece they were working on and need a home for, Skybox wants to hear from you, and we pay pretty well.
We can't make up for you being laid off, but we'll do what we can.

I just want us to be respected. Is that so much to ask for? For the industry to in any way care for the talent that creates your profits? I was physically shaking with anger and sadness earlier. I just want us to be happy doing our jobs. I never felt like that was much to ask

TheGamer is losing so much talent today, it breaks my heart. On a personal and professional level, I cannot put the loss into words.
Everyone being laid off today is incredible and would be an asset to your team. They have jumped through more hoops than you can imagine. Hire them!

Branden is such an incredible editor, writer and basically everything else. There’s seriously nothing he can’t do, digitally or physically, and he would make an incredible addition to any team
Unfortunately, my time as an Editor for TheGamer.com has come to an end.
I met some of the best coworkers I've ever had there, I learned and grew a lot.
If anyone is looking for a journo, especially for guides, reviews, VR, horror, and farming RPGs, I'd love to hear from you.
