I'd say mid too about Outer Worlds, but the first half is above average IMHO. It's the second half which felt half baked and lowered my appreciation.
I'd prefer some developers set their mind on a good/great 20h experience if they don't have the budget for more, instead of trying to align themselves with the big players.
... and better (except for bad ports)

I just finished Outcast: A New Beginning yesterday, odd but nice AA exploration RPG-lite game which felt under the radar despite good presentation
I'm doing a 180° from sci-fi TPS with modern graphics and starting Victor Vran to scratch the fantasy/Torchlight itch
60 FPS, I can't stand an unstable framerate, I prefer to lower quality/effects if I can't get constant 60 FPS
Telltale managed to make a good story game about it though
I haven't played Wonderlands yet, but the story/writing in B3 is abysmal
But... the gameplay is still an upgrade from B2 so I still enjoyed it
I'm not sure Gearbox can get back on track with the writing, so I hope B4 will bring some gameplay improvements, otherwise might as well replay B3
Mass Effect did it quite well (at least some of them like Tali), although with a touch of cringe
And The Witcher obviously
And of course some story games like Life Is Strange, but they're character-focused so it makes sense
