I totally forgot it was Thursday. Well, obviously not 'totally',
seeing as I've remembered now... but usually I'm a bit more

* The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/the-outer-worlds-spacers-choice-edition
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.
Wasn't that one of those "bombed on release but redeemed over updates"
games or am I thinking of a different space game?

It's an awesome game on par with or better than Obsidian's Fallout NV
who also made this, since release. Reviews were very good, which is why
I bought it besides being a big Fallout fan. It did bomb sales wise, but
that's because it came out as one of the first Epic exclusives before
anyone was really using Epic. It's barely a space game, it's a CRPG
like Fallout except on some different worlds in a late-capitalist
dystopia that's falling apart.

The only space game I know of that might fit "bombed on release but
redeemed over updates" is No Man's Sky. That still doesn't sound like
my type of game other than being a space setting, but it's on my
wishlist and who knows, I might buy it someday.
