    I don't know where any of the positive reviews have come from-unless it's the game devs and fanboys doing it themselves.

The truth is, it's an Always Online game despite being listed as SINGLE PLAYER/ COOP. Servers are incredibly unstable, promised crossplay still doesn't work, and the game's matchmaking barely functions. When it does function, the game is bug ridden and tedious at best while the endgame is pure repetition. The solution? Well, instead of adding content or fixing bugs ("supposedly" will happen in later patches) the devs decided to nerf classes and limit game styles.

    This game is a total failure-buy at your own risk.

    The single player part of the game is OK, although the story starts out like meh a bit, it get better later on. I quite enjoyed the game. However there are a lot of some issues that ruins the experience.

    The single player part of the game is OK, although the story starts out like meh a bit, it get better later on. I quite enjoyed the game. However there are a lot of some issues that ruins the experience.
    Some game design issues around networking part are really bad, starting with matchmaking being immediately open, which came as a shock. You cannot choose specifically what you want to do, which expedition you want to go to, and since the matchmaking is for the lobby, where's no guarantee that the person you join to is actually doing the activity you signed up for.. 50--50 if they just stand in the camp, or do something completely different.. Story mode multiplayer ask you to confirm every little thing multiple times to ensure you are in the same instance and there are soo many instances that it's getting tedious after a short time..
    But the main reason I give the game a 0 is the instable, unreliable networking part and the mandatory sign-in at the beginning even if you play solo.
    The multiplayer part of the game is abysmally bad. Game is not able to log in about 40% of the time, 50% is crashing out of the console, crashing when you join a game, crashing when the host starts an activity, crashing when you finally tarts something, crashing when anybody else is crashing.. I'm playing a lot of games, but I can't recall in recent history anything that would be THIS BAD. The game had multiple alphas and beta tests, I can't believe the developers were not aware of the demand and the load balance they need to do on the servers, because it's unbelievable that these issues have not came out earlier.. The game can't manage to hold a stable game of multiplayer.. Ever since I started playing, I can't recall actually exiting a multiplayer game. It was always crashing out dropping me to tile, stuck in sign in etc..
    Every new game has issues, but the amount of network problems this one has put in in par with Anthem, even worse.. At least when I managed to log into Anthem in mostly hold the game at least, Outriders, can't even manage basic functionality.

    More than 1 month after release, it quits because of ,,Outriders server problem". And you cannot play NOW (when I write this, 2021.05.08!) Oh, and I play it in single player mode, alone. So I cannot get it. But never buy this crap..

The console controls are also abhorrent, with terrible aim acceleration and awful auto aim snap. Currently the game has been out for a month and a half and the only issue I listed that has been remedied is the inventory wipe, what was listed is also far from the full list of bugs. Updates are also slow and have introduced new significant bugs every patch.

    This game may end up worth playing if they can iron out all the laughably bad bugs and you can get it on sale for $20-30 or less.

    absolutely a bastard game in technical terms. it's been 2 months since the release, but it constantly crashes and crashes 3-4 times in a couple of hours, or just disappears from the servers. this is especially "pleasing" during the passage of the expeditions. to the developers of "BRAVO".

    We all deserve refund on this game. There is no offline play for potential modding in the future. The game is way over priced and its not a AAA cause game devs with smaller budgets did way better then the 6 hour game call outriders. This game become redunded after you beat the game in 6 hours.
    Loot nope it sucks as well. Borderlands 1 did better then that in like 2008. This game is as bad

    Loot nope it sucks as well. Borderlands 1 did better then that in like 2008. This game is as bad as Anthem and the online is what kept people from playing any longer. Now lets get too disecting the online experince its a p2p or commonly known as peer 2 peer witch uses the same style of connecting like a bit torrent witch is shared between one another like pirating. They kick people out of a end game content run so they get more loot and there is only 3 people.
    Also all your loot is saved on there sever so nothing you gain from this game is truly yours and they purposly did wipes of peoples gear. Understand the loot that is saved is no bigger then 10 megabytes in size and most people playing this game has 5 terabytes witch could save that data and they could have 20 more games with full of saved data.
    They also say this game is singleplayer well its not enjoyable when you hit lag spikes playing alone.
    I think you all get what im saying this game is far worser then cyberpunk 2077 like beyond far worse.

    A pathetic attempt at another Destiny clone, with gameplay that feels like an XBOX port from 15 years ago.
    The game starts off by showing you 5 minutes of cutscenes for every 5 seconds of gameplay, pushing you through a moronic tutorial, just in case you forgot left-click means shoot. Movement is stiff. Shooting is weak. Brain-dead cover mechanics with regenerating health. Honestly, is it

    And then you're expected to pick a 'class' without any idea of what they do, or ability to try them out.
    Why would anyone pay money for this?
    The graphics are ok, I guess. And unlike many others, my game never crashed.

    Такой кал, что просто тошнит. Начну по порядку ощущений.
    Нужно регистрировать аккаунт еще и на левом сайте, ага, очень интересное начало. Спрашивается нахрен в стим забирал эту пробную версию.
    Создаю персонажа, челюсть проходит сквозь бороду, борода не соединена с частью волос сверху, ну думаю ладно, все равно шлем одену.
    Начинается душный диалог, пафосное приземление, и маленькая локация, полностью закрытая невидимой стеной, идешь с нпц разговариваешь, очень интересно. Стрелять не дают, прыгать не дают, просто иди, слушай диалог. Дальше игра превращается в сплошной коридор, шаг в лево невидимая стена, шаг вправо, текстурка не пройти-перепрыгнуть.
    И тут до меня доходит, на пробел прячемся в укрытие, на контрол перепрыгиваем препятствие. Прыжков, приседаний и других итераций в игре нет. Персонаж не может перешагнуть лиану высотой до колена. И перепрыгнуть тоже, она слишком низкая для такой анимации. Офигенная опция, происходит что-то на фоне карты, за пределами коридора, появляется "Нажмите Е, чтобы наблюдать", вау как интересно, что чтобы наблюдать, я могу СМОТРЕТЬ не сам.

    Забрало падает. Соснольщики ликуют.

    Есть нормальные игры, а есть игры где ты прилипаешь к поверхностям, и стреляешь пока враг высунулся. Очень, очень, очень интересный геймплей. Кстати инерция в этой игре сосет, персонаж скользит влево вправо, как будто на льду.
    Начинается диалог - камеру трясет, стреляешь - камеру трясет (укачивает влево-вправо), часть катсцен пропустить можно, часть нет. Почему? Потому
    .Сюжет тупорылый, персонажи ходят по планете без шлемов и средств защиты, спорят, нарушают технику безопасности - сразу видно профессиОналы с большой буквы Г. Харизматичные? Ну разве что пше пше поляк.
    Каждый раз когда идешь по коридору и видишь бочки/столы/укрепления, значит всегда будет перестрелка, и враги всегда будут спереди. Расстановка как в шашках. Ты - укрепления - враги. Повторить и зациклить до конца игры, геймдизайн холе.

    Последними плевками в лицо были:
    Стрельба из снайперской винтовки только стоя, стрейф или движение и прицел начинает ходить быстрее тебя. Плюс при прицеливании он первые пол секунды дрожит как бы при вскидывании.
    Я кучу раз на пустом месте нажал абилку, затем применил на врагах и персонаж такой "Ух, это я сделал???". Ты что дегенерат, уже пятый раз подряд я применил этот скилл. Скрипты писал одаренный интеллектом.

    Это позор позора, эта игра делает все то, что другие лутер шутеры, но хуже. Я не люблю дестини, но она показалась мне просто шикарной по сравнению с этим калом.
    Подытожу: Это убогая версия дестини с видом от третьего лица, без прыжков и приседаний, с укрытиями и кастрированным функционалом. Как если бы у первого бордерлендса был ублюдок от Sci-Fi бомжихи с ужасной наследственностью.

    Позор.

    I was really excited for this game as fan of looters, I played Diablo 3 and Destiny 1 and 2 for the past few years. This game has so many issues it's insane.
    -The game crashes non-stop for random interactions, sometimes it crashes when you open a door, sometimes it crashes when you talk to a NPC.
    - Frame rate issues even with high end PC. - The game also happens to wipe all your loot

    -The game crashes non-stop for random interactions, sometimes it crashes when you open a door, sometimes it crashes when you talk to a NPC.
    - Frame rate issues even with high end PC.
    - The game also happens to wipe all your loot for some people. Imagine you played this game for 20+ hours for this to happen.
    - Gameplay is: run there, clear the area, advance. there is not much brains needed
    - Enemies: pretty boring, mostly humans that are behind cover and monsters that charge you and minibosses that just walk towards you with some extra abilities.
    - Weapons: nothing unique, standard weapons as many other shooters.
    - Armor: looks cool, set bonus for legendary armor is a nice idea but really limited atm.
    - Abilities: even though they look cool, they get boring pretty quickly, I found myself change between skills and trees non-stop. Also some options in the skill trees make no sense. For example, on my technomancer i wanted a poison build so I invest heavily in the top tree but some really good poison perks are in the bottom tree for some reason??
    - Matchmaking: This must be the worst thing in the game. It is laggy as hell, it crashes the game but the worst thing is that it asks you what you want to play but if you randomly join someone for an expedition, that person can just decide to do other stuff instead of it or stand around. And why is that? Because the game just randomly puts you in a team with someone regardless of what they want to do or if they are even there. It happened pretty often that I stood in a camp and upgraded my gear, then randomly 1-2 people joined on me, I wasn't looking for people to join me. 8/10 players I joined are literally just standing there or want to do other stuff. Why not pool people together that selected an activity. It feels like Destiny LFG but nobody knows what the other one wants to do or if they are even there.
    - Builds: Anomaly infused bullets and ignore the rest. That's the meta, every enemy is a bullet sponge in this game, its the only viable way to deal damage. I tried all of the ablities on every class but everything else is significantly worse than the anomaly bullets. So with normal gunplay and the other abilities you do way too little damage but with anomaly bullets you melt everything in your way. In a party of 3 you can expect everyone to run Anomaly bullets with tricksters and technomancers using their slow and freeze abilities. So you end up shooting motionless enemies that will die in super fast. But I can't blame them, who wants to shoot an entire mag into one enemy.

    2/10, legendary armor and weapons look interesting and can give you a small extra to you build, rest is far under average.

    Don't waste your time with this game, first impressions are always best but this one is horrible. Game crashes every 15 minutes, your level does not matter because you are 22 getting 27 gear just to still get one hit by the level 27s , the abilities feel useless and some are mildly good.

The character animations are weak and the mocap looks shoddy. Occasionally facial animations look bizarre, with characters showing their awful teeth and gums too much,

Occasionally facial animations look bizarre, with characters showing their awful teeth and gums too much, or clothing physics jump around between camera changes, etc. The former being made worse by the truly awful character models. (See below). It also has one of the most pathetic character creation tools I've ever seen, especially for a game claiming to be, in part, an RPG. You literally get to choose from a handful of heads, some makeup/facial hair, and hairstyles. No body alterations, no facial tuning.
    This wouldn't be so bad, if it weren't for the fact that the stock heads are so damned ugly. Male or female, just hideous or boring, or both.

    Gameplay wise, it's essentially gears of war on tighter rails. The missions are extremely linear. Move from A to B, kill enemies, repeat. If you have a team, some of you flank, blah, blah.
    It's also pretty easy, even with the tiers enabled.

    Your characters powers are very derivative too. We've seen all this stuff before, and that isnt always a bad thing. After all, tried and tested works. However, these mechanics are just boring.

    On a plus side. There are lots of weapons, and clearly some thought went into combining certain perks with gunplay, which is nice. Unfortunately it doesn't make up for all the other short falls.

    Overall, the game just feels lacklustre. It's graphically uninteresting, gameplay is repetitive, derivative, and god damn, those player characters are hideous

    - Constant crashes to desktop during expeditions. Google this issue, its a meme at this point.
    - PC Frame rate issues. I have a 3080 and it runs absolutely horribly. We're talking 40-50 FPS when its being decent.
    - Always online, garbage servers. Constant disconnects, servers going down, login issues... you name it.
    - Abilities don't always always work. Trickster teleport basically doesn't work 1/3 of the time.
    - NPC's disappear and force you to log out and in for them to reappear
    - Missing quest markers or markers that lead no where

    This is likely the last square game I purchase until they can rebuild the trust. They have a huge amount of work ahead of them to make this game playable.

    The fact that there is no wide spread PSA that warns players about the inventory wipe bug is also just insane mismanagement. They absolutely should be disabling match making until they find a fix for this. If you play multiplayer its not IF you will run into this issue, but rather WHEN you will run into this issue.

    Customers are forced to go to reddit or twitter to post their experience with this bug. I only find out about this issue after experiencing the issue first hand and scouring the internet for answers.

    What's worse is apparently this issue has been going on for WEEKS now. They can force players to be always online, but they can't push out a simple in game warning about the current state of multiplayer?

    What an absolute mess.

    What a boring game. I expected more. It has some gears elements but it fails to deliver a great experience. The graphics, mechanics and level design are so outdated for a game that is released on 2021

    Stay FAR FAR AWAY. Game is “always online” and WILL wipe your full gear eventually if you play it long enough. People can fly (the devs) are major bumbling fools and are clearly in WAYYYY over their heads

    I wish I could, but I can not recommend the game in the current state. There are too many major problems. First of all, it's server problems. Even for single player experience, you need to be connected online to Outriders servers. And as of today, servers are not handling well. Constant disconnects and several hours long outages prevent you from playing the game AT ALL.

    EDITED REVIEW:

Constant disconnects and several hours long outages prevent you from playing the game AT ALL.

    EDITED REVIEW: After the recent developer new, I have decided to change the review, as negligance of developers was revealed. First of all, they are absolutely ignoring the worst issues like wipe of directory content, forcing players with lost gear to wait for weeks before they get some of it back. Also, instead of buffing other classes and mods to make other builds more viable, they have actually chosen nerf approach. They did not fix a single crash in 9 days.

    Second major issue is cross-play, which was promised, but is not functional since launch, so if you planned to have Easter coop Outriders session with your friends on different platforms, not happening.

    I would suggest to check the game some time later to avoid the frustration and save some time.

    Honestly... AAA online only game that has servers that do not even connect is a joke of all jokes. Released on April fools, I feel the fool for paying full price for a game that I am yet to be able to login to. The demo was fairly smooth and fun. But the game itself is an appalling mess. Fortunately I managed to get a refund as day one bugs is normal. But being unable to even play is ridiculous.

The scaling difficulty isn't explained adequately or it was explained in the demo not in the game, I ran into SEVERAL road blocks in 10 hours of play and had not idea i could just step my world down. problem is that also steps the gear down. So to get upgrades I need to deal with the outrageously poor balancing on my current difficulty or just sacrifice upgrades. If this is the way they are forcing replay its a terrible one.

    After all that I haven't seen a single system that I would want to play over to grind for gear. There are no clear dungeons or raids. Just a bunch of areas you would clear from start to finish over and over, the lay out of these areas is poor at best.

    none of this even addresses the gun play issues, lack of interesting abilities, convoluted combos and poor enemy design.

    3rd No hip shooting, in every normal game aiming will enhance distance enemy, you can shoot without aiming just fine, but in this stupid game, if you dont aim, you wont have the aim circle to allow you to shoot close enemy.
    4th Using gear of war system here is a retard idea, the game is fast pace with multiple enemy rushing and tanking your shots, but the game does not allow you to jump, dash or crouch. Not only that, the cover system of gear of war + camera angle result in you will constantly being sucked into wall, preventing you from moving fast. In order word, the covering is not for you, it is for the enemy, these covering are obstacle for you.

    Technical issues notwithstanding, Outriders is simply boring. The loot system and perk system seem intriguing and well-designed, but there's little reason to explore them to their full potential.

The loot system and perk system seem intriguing and well-designed, but there's little reason to explore them to their full potential. The handful of enemy types behave similarly, and every combat encounter starts to run together. The world is visually interesting at times, but running from encounter to encounter to eliminate predictable mobs is not.

    Outriders also struggles to hit an enjoyable difficulty level. On paper, the world-tier system seems appealing: difficulty can be adjusted on the fly, with more difficult enemies providing better loot and better drop rates. However, it feels discouraging when you a reach point where enemies can destroy even the "tank" class in one or two hits. So if you decrease the difficulty, congratulations, you can stomp the enemies to experience a bland story, but you reach a point where to experience the end-game content, you must play at the highest world tiers to obtain the highest-level loot.

    There's also no self-revive in single-player despite having one per encounter when playing co-op, which can lead to frustration. Encounters pretty much all come down to one or two remaining elite enemies at the end that soak up an inordinate amount of damage while doing nothing interesting.

When there aren't server issues you have microstutters, framerate issues, audio going out or uncentered from you, blurry graphics and crashing. And after weeks of issues they wipe your character along with thousands of other players and only tell you for almost 2 weeks now "we'll fix and restore your character SOON" with no detailed information.

    The enemy AI is all the same just reskinned, pretty brainless and just mindlessly runs at you in mobs and the ranged characters hit you even when not facing you, warping into you, etc. The infantry are the smartest but they just take cover behind objects everyone else is just bullet sponges.

    Campaign can be beat in under 5 hours w/ your character reaching max level and world tier as well. The maps are boring with you running down different looking corridors until you reach a bubble with cover that's one of a handful of boss fights per level, no open world at all.

    End game? Have fun playing the same 14 maps over and over running down the same corridors hoping for a random legendary drop, but you only get the same 7 out of 150 some. Oh and forget about playing coop, the scaling is beyond broken. Your end game build can 1 shot enemies and clear expeditions quickly. Add a 2nd person and your damage and health stays the same but enemies are more than double health and double damage. A 3rd? More than 4x health and damage while your characters are the same. Also, if you're not the host (players connect to each other in instances to play, and then connect to the Outriders data server) you'll experience bad hit reg, skills not triggering but going on cooldown, warping around map and getting stuck in walls, shooting enemies do no damage, etc.

    TLDR, game isn't even worth spending $20 on. Stay far away

So, you make a game, that is not playable (not even in single player) if not connected to the servers. Now, the server did not work since the release. Now one year later, they are still not working. A week ago we played 1 mission 5 times in 40 minutes, because the server connection was gone 4 times !!! I tried playing single player with the same result. So, after one year there is still no patch, that would allow you to play offline, nor have the server issues been fixed. Honestly, can it be any clearer that the Dev´s just don´t care.... yeah, no more games from people can fly for me. What a disgrace!

    Simply put, in a looting game of any genre, a bug that wipes out your entire inventory is gamebreaking. 1/10.

    A completely underwhelming and buggy experience. Crashes, disconnects, bugs.
    Gameplay is very raw and unpolished, derivative. Game aspires to be the next Destiny, but doesn't put the effort in and will likely end up being the next Anthem.

    Save yourself some time on this one and just skip.

Luckily, crashes in multiplayer aren't that much of an issue when the game is a laggy, rubberbanding mess when playing with a friend, assuming that the friend isn't Crossplaying from another platform because that's just turned off entirely as completely broken. Unluckily, the devs have decided instead to ignore the technical issues of the game and release a huge multi-page list of nerfs for this PvE-exclusively game. You can't fight other players, you can't trade with other players and the game is built around you being able to alter the difficulty at will....why do we need this massive list of nerfs again?

    Close, but no Cigar. My biggest problem with Outriders is Bulletstorm. If you where shown several games side by side with Outriders and asked to pick which one was made by the same team you would never pick Bulletstorm in a million years. I mean, its okayish, but you can clearly see that it is in some sort of awkward middle ground between Destiny 2 and Gears of War. It feels like they wereClose, but no Cigar.

It feels like they were going for a Persistent Online Looter shooter, remembered the fate of Anthem and changed gears half way through.

    That aside the controls for the Camera and ADS just feel slightly `wrong` even after messing about with turning Aim Assist and camera sensitivity there is just this almost indefinable sense that you aren't quite doing what you want. I started the game and chose the Trickster who is supposed to be a close range fighter who relies on interrupts but getting into a pack of enemies and trying to use the blade attack was quite literally hit or miss as I found myself accidentally being slightly off at a 45 degree angle. Changing to a Pyromancer made my previous attempts moot as it made the enemies laughably ineffective.

    In conclusion there is really nothing that jumps out and makes you think `wow`. The cover system is broken (enemies seem to have infinite grenades that can target you with pin point accuracy), the story is meh and I couldn't care less about the story line.

A boring assortment of same-y guns and only one or two good abilities are your tools to fight enemies that will spam constant knockdowns as well as lots of Bull**** things like freezes on hit that take away your ability to shoot or use abilities. Enemy AoEs will pass through cover to hit you, and I can't count the times I've died to an attack who's visual element missed me. Finally this morning I also got that infamous bug that stripped me of all my inventory, and decided I'd had enough. This game can suck my dick. Expand

Lagging, bugged out due to lagging (skill stuck and you can't fire your weapon or use any other skills), survey game interrupted due to people joining/leaving causing the game to crash, or went insanely difficult and yet your teammate spawn at the starting point, OMG I can just go on and on with the problems. The game is just a Division clone with tons of more bugs!
    AND WHATS with the STUPID CUT SCENES OF OPENING DOORS?!!? OMG, you couldn't do it with a third-person view and have to put a cut scene to show how to open a door??!! just to skip these I have taken 10 years of life out of my space bar and escape key!

    I am tired of these Destiny types of games. Every time it's the same. Looter shooter with a mediocre story. We need more games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and fewer games like Outriders, Destiny, Anthem, etc. 0/10.

    I played the full demo (PC) version with some friends. The first few hours were ok, I gave it a decent amount of room to grow and develop. I was excited for a 'diablo style shooter' and committed to trying the full demo experience before making a decision whether to purchase.

    What i found was a front to back lackluster experience. I did not encounter many of the bugs others
    I played the full demo (PC) version with some friends. The first few hours were ok, I gave it a decent amount of room to grow and develop. I was excited for a 'diablo style shooter' and committed to trying the full demo experience before making a decision whether to purchase.

    What i found was a front to back lackluster experience. I did not encounter many of the bugs others complained about at the time. A few disconnects, a few party forming errors etc. I could live with the errors especially since it was a demo and technically nearing the end of it's early access.

    The story is extremely bland, so much so that I do not feel compelled to play further. Does the loot style and short cooldowns on abilities feel diablo esc? YES!... but lacking and or missing something. The story wasn't it's strong point, but I couldn't really even buy into this games world enough to keep playing. The gameplay was fine, but always felt janky and frankly missing elements that would have hooked me further.

    If I could summarize in only a few words i'd say that Outriders is, on paper, an excellent game but it misses the mark on story, gameplay, and world building so i'll pass on this one. Maybe i'll revisit when the game ACTUALLY feels complete and has had quite a bit more polish / missing puzzle pieces included.

    Wouldn't recommend to anyone.

    It’s been over a week and this game is still unplayable. The severs are absolute garbage and it takes forever to get logged in. If you get kicked which is more than likely going to happen you get to enjoy waiting forever again. Servers are GARBAGE. Don’t waste your money.

    Outriders guarantees an enjoyable evening with friends. We had lots of fun clearing out stage after stage, gathering loot, upgrading our gear and improving our builds so they complement each other perfectly. The final score would have been higher if it weren’t for tons of technical issues we had to deal with. [06/2021, p.28]

    Killing everything that moves with bullets and magic while enjoying picturesque alien vistas is good enough for 20 hours (30, if you’re into Expeditions), but don’t expect anything more substantial out of Outriders.

    Gears of War meets Destiny… and the end result is mediocre. Take away the "coolness" of playing a gun totting superhero, and all you are left with is basically one more generic looter shooter, that doesn't manage to impress, neither with its repetitive gameplay, nor with its boring story and world building. Add to that a couple of technical and network issues, and you are in for a - pricey - treat.
