Oh yes there's a fucking RIDICULOUS difficulty spike right at the end that the game doesn't prepare for you at all, I got through the fight in the end but it took me about 20 attempts.
Not my experience at all:
ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
It helped a lot that, late on, I respec'd my character and carefully jiggled my stats, perks, gear, and companions to hit 100s in lockpicking, hacking, persuade, and lie, and 80+ in most of the other skills that gate dialog choices. That opened up a lot of non-combat options for me in the lategame.
Ahhh right I never bothered with a respec, which I probably should have done because some dialogue/hacking choices weren't available to me towards the end of the game.
TBH though, I was cruising through the game so easily it never much occurred to me that it might be a worthwhile idea, and then yes, the fight that you spoilered above was a right arsehole to do in that I had to do the actual fight. It was way, WAY beyond anything the game had chucked at me up until that point.
Anyway, there's loads of stuff I want to try in my second playthrough, and that'll be on HARD difficulty. (SUPERNOVA looks a bit too batshit for my taste.)
Oh yes, and praise the lord for a proper saving and loading system, including F5/F9 quicksave/quickload, makes such a positive difference to the experience for me. Checkpointing can fuck right off.

I made a (bad) review video about this game.
Currently on sale on the Epic Store for £37.49, down from its launch price of £49.99 - Black Friday sale thingy.
I watched that last night. Funny

We released patch 1.2 of #TheOuterWorlds today, and it includes a fix for the dreaded "the game thinks my companions are dead" bug, which I believe I spent more time investigating than I have for any other individual bug in my career (1/18)
