Man. Such a shame those games came out at the same time with effectively the same name

Haven't tried worlds yet but wilds is a masterpiece that blew my mind and ruined other games for me. Might be my top game of all time.

Yep, i also mistake them the first time.

It also certainly doesn't help me remembering which is which when in Outer WILDS you explore different worlds and in Outer WORLDS the tutorial area is kind of an overgrown wilds in which you explore very few worlds. When I have to talk about either one of them I just say "You know, the one with the crazy gravity physics and planets" or "You know, the one that's basically just Firefly the video game."

It's even more confusing talking about the game because you can fly your ship into the sun in both.

Same experience here. I've already owned the base game, but none of the DLC. It let me accept Spacer's Choice, which is literally just another store entry for the base game, but you can buy the upgrade for 10$ instead of 17$.

Update: I've done some research. Apparently this version of the game is like a third-party remaster done by a different company, hence why it's a different entry in the store

Upgrade is for people who own the old version only. Spacers Choice Edition is the entire game, DLC and all.

My receipt, screen I selected for the game, and everything I see and can tell says it's the spacers choice edition, which is the edition that includes the DLC.

I think the giveaway just doesn't include the $9.99 dlc to upgrade the base game if you already have it to the spacers choice edition. In other words, if you have the base game only, get this giveaway and you'll have the dlc for free via spacers choice edition.

EDIT - Close to the add button Is written [Base game] and even after adding it to my library i can still see the 9$ dlc option in the menu. Either way is not too clear so I'll let the (base game) in the title.

Spacer's choice edition is the full game remastered edition that is currently on giveaway.

If you owned the base game+DLCs, you get this edition for USD 9.99 when it's not on giveaway.

As far as I remember from the DF review, the spacer's edition "remaster" isn't any good. You're better off playing the original game.

Though maybe only the spacer's choice edition is free because no one bought it.

This was a Humble Choice game not too long ago, and it ran great for me if this helps.

According to this comment: https://www.gog.com/forum/the_outer_worlds/spacers_choice_edition_has_very_poor_performance_horrible_optimization/post4

They fixed it. Is that true?

And still far better than Starfield.

One of the okayest games ever made

still better than starfield.

looking forward to whatever obsidian does next

It was not ignored because of Disco Elysium. In fact I had never even heard of DE myself until like last year.

The reason it was "ignored" (it really wasn't though) is that it was a pretty mid game.

ETA: it was also hyped up to be the "Bethesda Killer." IGN was literally posting articles and videos saying things like "Bethesda should probably start looking for a new job."

I remember this game being very hyped before release. When it released it was a very poorly optimized game on PC, don't know about consoles.

I played it for a good 10 hours, hoping it would get good. It never did, so I dropped it. I still find fallout 3 and new vegas more fun than this.

It was only available for free on 2023-12-25.
