We're getting close to the sequal to the Outer Worlds and I'm seeing some positive vibes from the previews

I played The Outer Worlds 2 preview four times — here’s what I learned about its branching gameplay
So it sounds like if you didn't like Outer Worlds 1, you may not love this new iteration. To me, it tells me that Obsidian is leaning into what they do best, and I'm excited because it was a really fun game. OU didn't have the same level of replayability as fallout 4, but it does have it. What Outer Worlds gives up in open worlds they gain back in story telling.
I may fire it up again given that that OU2 is due out later this year.
Edit: October 29 is the release date - woohoo

If you're thinking to yourself, "I wasn't a big fan of the first game, I wonder if the second will win me over," though, then I still suggest some caution. Obsidian is sticking to its guns with The Outer Worlds 2 — I argue for the better, but certain RPG fans will claim it's for the worse.
