It's a 4 to me. You can talk your way through a lot of the quests/avoid combat with the right build. Supernova is more annoying than hard once you get past the early game.

Hardly any challenge, basic shooter abilities will get you through the fights and if you're not sure how to use the skills ect. or have trouble finding your optimal path, guides will help.

 

4/10 for slightly below average difficulty.

[PKopetzky]

Voted a 5, the most frustrating thing about Supernova difficulty are the save mechanics, making treks across the bigger areas a suicide run each time, with the potential to lose 20 minutes of progress because of the obvious Fallout-esque mechanics and quirks.

 

That being said, a really fun game with great writing, definitely worth playing through twice, with at least one "dumb" playthrough to make it way more fun (including hacking the last boss fight console by shouting random numbers at the screen). Definitely worth checking out!

I would wote it a 5 in difficult.

 

It's not hard but more a challenge in supernova, "SPOILER" keep to dialog, stealth and long guns and it will go fine, as perks goes go for fast sprint, that way you can run past difficult areas..

 

Very nice game Obsidian, well done. (2 Bug and glitch free runtroughs)

I would agree with the others, Supernova isn't necessarily "difficult" so much as it's just annoying/frustrating at times. But an awesome game regardless of the trophies. It's been a blast to explore.

[HENO]

Gave it a 4 (could be a 5 because I made the last mission very difficult on myself), just a piece of advice, you're going to need a specific ID cartridge and Hack and Lockpicking both on 100 and you can make it WAY easier.

I had Ellie and Parvati die on me there, their sacrifice will not be forgotten , no I am kidding after I got the trophy, I reloaded, lowered the difficulty and finished it again, so that ending never happened

 

Also, you need to keep tinkering with your weapons and armors constantly (every new area), so don't forget to do that. Would help you to get the Science to at least 60 to reduce the cost of tinkering and 100 is very helpful, especially because somehow, I could only find 3 or 4 weapons with high level at the end!

You also need high Hack early on, too, 40 is good I think to be able to buy restricted items and sell what you want from vending machines.

5/10

 

Supernova sucks but you can skip most of the fight with charisma stat and using disguise. It's more annoying than hard, no save, have to eat and sleep, only 1 fast travel poimt.

[s0ulhu9t8r]

4/10

 

Like others said, supernova was annoying/frustrating with the restrictions of fast travel, save mechanics, and companions permanently dead. Make sure to spend skill points on dialog, stealth, and tech on supernova.

[Easty]

3/10, I played on normal and it was well balanced not too easy not too hard, but you can play on story mode anyway and it's a walk in the park, I used that for cleaning up after my first playthrough.

For Supernova, just follow a

and it's not harder thant a walking simulator.

4/10 with a supernova speed run video to help. 6/10 without one

[CrazyRap]

3/10 Took me 1 hour and a half to finish supernova using this

Even though i got the plat, I hated the game.

Bad performance, freezes a lot, low fps, horrendous loading times and graphically looks like a ps3 game.

Just trash.

And the fact that it got nominated for goty is insane.

But to be fair, i saw some gameplay on pc on highest settings and it looks and plays like a completely different game, so smooth.

60 fps better be the standard next gen.

Went with a 4/10. The game isn't overly challenging while playing in normal and you can clear supernova without having to enter a single fight which no doubt brings the score down.

[DoogleDM1]

4/10 from me, just got the Plat, nothing too hard, took longer than it needed to as I did a blind playthrough first.

[erdvilla]

5/10 Average

You can get all trophies in a single playthrough.

But it is wiser to do 2, the first in Story or Normal to makes things easier. Then a Speedrun in Supernova to get both difficulty trophies in under half an hour.

[ReoJee]

3/10 with Supernova speedrun video.

[Investor27]

Guess I'll be playing this on the PS5 then, and hopefully on 60 fps.

[Rubbercons]

Whoa! Site redesign. Nice.

 

The Outer Worlds platinum difficulty (with guides) 3

The Outer Worlds platinum difficulty (without guides) 8

 

The Outer Worlds Hard Crash Counter: 0 (F-N UNBELIEVABLE!)

 

 The Outer Worlds is a good game. It's not on par with Fallout 3, or New Vegas, but still enjoyable IMO. What I didn't enjoy was my blind Supernova difficulty run. 4 hours of frustration is all it took to break me and force me to look up a guide. You've got to eat, drink, sleep and kill to keep yourself alive. I think that they forgot you’ve got to poo and pee too.

I only have 2 missable trophies to get so I'm voting now. This is no more than a 3. I did my full playthrough on normal difficulty so there can be a few spots where you can run into trouble if you're not careful or if you don't have the right setup. Pretty much all encounters become trivial once you get decent weapons for each enemy type and invest in the right skills and perks. For my supernova playthrough I followed the pacifist speedrun video so that was also trivial as you don't face any enemies (the hint is in the name). I did have trouble with the Gladys safe but managed it after a few tries. Overall it's an easy enough game. 

[Kunegunda_GoRyl]

4/10.

That's because I started on Supernova, which can prove rather tricky at the begining, but I don't like multiple playthroughs. Rather have one, but longer, with more fun & more role playing to craft my own story. Some misc trophies can prove little annoying, but it's nothing major. Very good game, doing the DLC's 4sure.
