The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Beta Draws Mixed Reactions as Owlcat's Ambitious Mass Effect-Style RPG Takes Shape

Owlcat Games' The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, a narrative RPG adapting the acclaimed sci-fi TV series, has generated split early impressions following beta access. RPG Site and Push Square came away broadly optimistic, praising the studio's growth and the game's potential to fill the void left by Mass Effect, while Rock Paper Shotgun was more critical, finding it a underwhelming take on both the CRPG genre and the source material. In developer interviews, the game director elaborated on how Owlcat's CRPG pedigree informed companion design, player origins shaping the narrative, and the adaptation of the show's distinctively high-stakes combat.
