The Outer Worlds' Peril on Gorgon DLC is mechanically unambitious in that it doesn't introduce any new ideas to change up gameplay, but it does take the crew of the Unreliable to several new locations around the Hyperion system as it unveils a fairly leng...

Abstract: Choice is a powerful thing in video games. Plenty of games give players choices to do what they want in any given situation. This is the case for all the games from Obsidian Entertainment, whether it be Alpha Protocol or even South Park: The Stick of Trut...
