One nice weapon is the Spectrum Gatling, and getting the gun is a mission in itself, as you need a bottle of each flavour of Spectrum Vodka to unlock the case it is stored in – finding those is easier said than done. You’ll thank me later.Īlongside the extra levels, there are of course new weapons and armour to find, and a few unique and science weapons amongst them. You see, there’s replayability here too and the story can play out one of two ways, so I will offer a top tip: if you want to get all the achievements, make a new save when you go to the Rizzo Distillery and are about to go up in the lift. Sadly, for fear of spoilers, I can’t really go any further down this road, but suffice to say that this DLC dragged me back into The Outer Worlds, and it still hasn’t let me go, despite finishing the story and getting all 10 of the new achievements. Could it be Helen’s boyfriend, the tossball star Black Hole Bertie? Could it be Spencer Woolrich, forever doomed to play second fiddle to Helen’s star? Why is there a drunken woolly cow in a hotel bedroom? These and many more questions will arise answered before the end of the storyline. As you can imagine, with the rogues gallery that we find ourselves amongst, there is no shortage of suspects to investigate. So, once we are on the trail of Halcyon Helen’s killer, like a dapper bloodhound, the DLC really begins to open up. This is a very useful tool indeed, and with tasks like finding out who had been near the body, and then tracking their steps all the way through the beautiful Purpleberry Orchards, there’s no shortage of things to find with it. It also has quite a dry sense of humour, as if you try and address it in an amusing way, it will deadpan back with quips like “I do not have a dramatic subroutine installed, Inspector”. These clues can then be inspected and analysed, and the Detector will talk to you to tell you what it finds. Switching to the Detector, then looking through using the left trigger will cause any clues to become visible, as a plume of blue smoke, almost. This is used to investigate various clues found all over the world, and will draw attention to itself by beeping when a clue is nearby. As we chat to her, she presses upon us a new Science Weapon, the Detector. Here, another important character pops up, the coroner Dr. When we arrive, our first job is to report to the Grand Colonial Hotel to inspect the crime scene. In fact, it appears that a popular way of disposing of inconvenient people is to simply drop them off the edge.

Landing on the surface, it appears that Eridanos is a series of islands, with huge jet engines attached, tethered together with various bridges and walkways. Still, these guys all seem convinced that we are the person to solve the crime, so off we pop to Eridanos. He is in charge of the spaceport and security on Eridanos, and it doesn’t take the world’s greatest detective to figure out that there isn’t a huge amount of love lost between them.
There is a third leg to this milking stool too, in the shape of SubLight UnderGround’s head honcho, Sedrick Kincannon. Administrator Ludovico is nominally in charge of the colony on Eridanos, and he has a trusty constable named Keene to help him uphold the law. The authorities in question are a mixed bunch. Who better than us to track down her killer? So, imagine my joy when we are contacted, out of the blue, by the authorities on Eridanos to come there and investigate the murder of Halcyon Helen, the famous aether wave star who has been found murdered as she prepared to launch a new flavour of Rizzo’s spectrum vodka, the appealingly named “Spectrum Brown”. The best level, hands down, in the recent Hitman 3 was the one set in Devon as we had the chance to prove ourselves as an actual detective, right down to the grubby raincoat and stupid hat, wandering around questioning people. However, in the medium of video games, I can’t seem to get enough of them. I’ve never been one for a mystery novel: Agatha Christie leaves me cold.
The story found in The Outer Worlds: Murder on Eridanos takes its cues from the kind of 1940’s noir-style detective thrillers that are mystifyingly popular.
