Playing through The Outer Worlds 2. I think i'm in whats considered the third act.
The game itself is decent. Having a better time of it then I remember from the first game. Playing on story mode cause i don't care much for combat stuff, just generally like dialogue based game. Lots of skill checks for dialogue and level traversal.
The politics of the game are pretty centrism brained; there are two main factions, the super capitalist and the evil communists. Both are portrayed in a silly manner, so you can't really take to many things seriously in the game. Not super offensive to me, but maybe not as annoying as it was in the first game. Would be nice to make choices that move the galaxy in a direction that isn't 'both sides bad', but its whatever.
As an aside, i fucking hate UE5. I hate Lumen, i hate the fucking temporal shadows that are fuzzy and change as you move the camera around. Its sooooo fucking distracting and such awful technical direction. Makes the game so damn blurry.
