Finished the new Peril on Gorgon DLC for Outer Worlds. Costs $15, but I automatically got a $10 coupon applied that I knew nothing about, so it ended up costing $5 and change. Not sure how that happened, but it was nice. Certainly worth looking into.
The new content adds several hours of gameplay. It also raises the skill caps and provides a new level of weapons for the overall game. Nothing really new in the enemies department, unfortunately, but they do toughen up to match your enhanced firepower. You do have to reach a midway point in the game for it kick in, and it took a couple of days of replay to get to it. The playable area on the Gorgon asteroid is comparable in size to Monarch, and there are a few smaller new areas included as well. The new story line is interesting, consistent in style and quality, and integrates smoothly into the existing game.
Basically, if you liked Outer Worlds, you'll like the DLC. Nothing groundbreaking, just more of the same. I've described it as Mass Effect Lite meets Borderlands, and that still goes. But it's enjoyable. I would have paid $15 without complaint. It was damn sure worth $5.
