The Expanse: Osiris Reborn
IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is a third-person action RPG where your combat style is defined by your gear and upgrades rather than a fixed character class, allowing for flexible playstyles.
- Character creation sets your captain's origin and starting skills, but players can develop their captain across four open skill trees—Marksmanship, Gadgets, Survivalist, and Leader—without being locked into a specific role.
- Gear upgrades at the workbench are crucial, offering stat boosts, triggered effects, and new abilities, with upgrade paths that shape the combat rhythm and playstyle; gear quality affects upgrade depth but can be reset and transferred.
- Companions also have unique skill trees and upgradeable signature gadgets that can be customized to complement the player’s strategy, enhancing teamwork and combat effectiveness.
- Developer Owlcat emphasizes player freedom and experimentation, aiming to avoid fixed classes and instead allowing players to tailor their captain and party’s abilities and equipment to their preferred playstyle.
