    Firstly, you may have this one already (Epic gave it away
    back in December just passed). The game itself is essentially
    "Starfield", albeit a bit more tongue in cheek and less focused
    on quantity-over-quality. Whether you like it or not really
    depends on whether its humor lands with you; gameplay-wise,
    it's basically standard 'Bethesda-open-world', even if its
    not made by Bethesda. A good game, in my opinion; not great,
    but good.

It's not open world.  But yeah it's a bit Fallout in space, or more correctly on a number of mostly small areas of different worlds, and a spaceship/station or 3.  It's by Obsidian, the Fallout NV devs.  I personally enjoyed it more than Fallout 4 or NV for that matter.  The NPC party members are very good.  Combat and character building is fairly similar to Fallout from what I remember, with some twists.  Well worth a play or two.

 So, neither game are top-notch,

Shut yo' mouth about The Outer Worlds.  It's quite top-notch! (Yeah it's being given away like a redheaded step daughter, and probably everyone here's got it already, I bought it when it came out.)
