I’ve dumped hours into the game and have yet to come across any sort of significant bug besides a comical physics glitch when I’d kill an enemy and their body would go hurtling into the stratosphere. The UI itself however is a major issue, with the game suffering from some seriously tiny text and a clunky menu. I’m playing a relatively large TV, and I’m still having to squint to make out certain words or symbols on-screen. There are weapons in the game that have a “pristine” status meaning they have higher than normal durability and these are signified with a diamond symbol when examining them; the diamond is so small however that I couldn’t even tell it was a diamond the first few times I saw the icon. I honestly can’t imagine playing this game on a medium, or god forbid small TV screen unless you have some binoculars ready. The UI itself just makes matters in the menu worse with an incredibly clunky system that makes you needlessly take extra steps to do simple actions. Pressing the equip button on a weapon will only ever swap out the first weapon on your weapon slot. If you want it to replace your second, third, or fourth gun you’ll need to open up a separate radial menu, highlight the “swap” option which will then open up a second radial menu, and then select which currently equipped weapon you want this one to replace. Shopping in vendors is made worse by the fact that you can’t easily, and immediately compare the stats between your equipped gear and the items you want to purchase; something that’s, to me, easily one of the most grievous mistakes you could make in an RPG. Now while these obviously aren’t major affronts, merely annoyances, they still sour what’s an overall excellent experience.","2025-05-12T17:41:28.661877-04:00",{"id":1033,"logo":1045,"name":1046,"slug":1047,"tags":26,"bluesky":26,"twitter":1047,"youtube":1048,"facebook":1047,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":1049,"website_url":1050,"score_format":195,"average_score":77,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":1051,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":328,"reviews_editor_email":1052,"editor_in_chief_email":1053,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fmonstervine-logo.png","MonsterVine","monstervine","@MonsterVineOfficial","We Cover Video Game News, Reviews, Previews, and More.","https:\u002F\u002Fmonstervine.com\u002F","austin@monstervine.com","will@monstervine.com","diego@monstervine.com",{"id":1055,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":1056,"author":1057,"original_score":1018,"normalized_score":133,"review_url":1065,"review_date":632,"summary":1066,"created_at":1067,"updated_at":1067,"author_id":1058,"last_edited_at":1067,"outlet":1068},51518,66,{"id":1058,"bio":26,"name":1059,"avg_score":1060,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":1061,"profile_id":1062,"updated_at":1063,"claim_token":26,"article_count":1064,"claimed_by_user_id":1062},49,"Hayes Madsen",80.3225806451613,"2024-10-07T12:30:41.881597-04:00","3cbb2cd8-44a1-4220-9177-c0b7835d1607","2026-06-17T08:06:55.727997-04:00",94,"https:\u002F\u002Ftwinfinite.net\u002Freviews\u002Fthe-outer-worlds-review\u002F","Have you ever had a job you’re working seep into every aspect of your life?
