Edited: There was a recent patch this year. Which supposedly has fixed the technical problems that made Spacer's Choice unplayably bad. I still can not recommend it because it was broken when I tried to play it pre-patch, but it has supposedly been fixed. Edited to slightly soften the tone against it.
A lot of comments in this thread are confused about what "Spacer's Choice" means. This is the "remastered" version of the game that was not done by Obsidian. It is a Game Of The Year style pack that includes all the DLC. The upgrade flowchart picture on the storefront page is needlessly confusing, ignore it. As of May this year, this version was very buggy and unoptimized. Texture pop-ins and laggy framerates are widely reported. For me personally I couldn't even get it to run at all.
According to this comment: https://www.gog.com/forum/the_outer_worlds/spacers_choice_edition_has_very_poor_performance_horrible_optimization/post4
They fixed it. Is that true?
I guess I'm out of the loop. I tried playing it in May of this year, and it finally got patched in June.
