Kingdom Come: Deliverance director criticized The Outer Worlds 2 creators. In the future, he wants two things from them

The latest game from Obsidian Entertainment, The Outer Worlds 2, was released at the end of October 2025, so many fans have already finished it. One such player is the director of the first and second Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Daniel Vavra, who shared his thoughts about the game on X.

It seems that Vavra agreed with most reviewers who gave the game high ratings but criticized its individual elements. The developer gave The Outer Worlds 2 a 7 out of 10 and then started a pretty harsh critique.

For the record, it's worth noting that only Fallout: New Vegas was released under the Obsidian Entertainment banner. The original Fallout installments mentioned by the director were developed by the founders of this studio at Black Isle Studios. The Outer Worlds 2 also doesn't have loot boxes – when mentioning them, the creator was likely referring to the entire industry.

The post above should really make the bosses at Obsidian Entertainment and Microsoft think. The absence of new mechanics mentioned by the KCD director in The Outer Worlds 2 likely results from the giant's "safe" approach to game development. When the corporation took over Obsidian in 2018, it might have pushed or suggested this way of working to the company. Although these are just speculations, it would be some response to Daniel Vavra's questions.
