    Die Storys ist richtig 0815 und nicht wirklich spannend, alles vorhersehbar.
    Zwischen dem 1. und 2. Charakter muss echt etwas Zeit liegen, das Gameplay ist zwar wirklich gut, aber die Story so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, dass sie leider stark überwiegt. Sollte man aber wirklich einmal gespielt haben, macht richtig viel fun!

    Die Expeditionen sind aber eher langweilig und nicht wirklich gebalanced, entweder unschaffbar und einen Rang drunter viel zu leicht.    … Expand

    First, the most important thing: This game easily has the best build system of any looter shooter I have played (Destiny, Division, Borderlands, Warframe, probably more I'm forgetting).

    Not only is there a large variety of possible builds, each class and build can feel very unique and refreshing as it will change the way you actually play the game. The gameplay itself is fast and fun and    First, the most important thing: This game easily has the best build system of any looter shooter I have played (Destiny, Division, Borderlands, Warframe, probably more I'm forgetting).

    The gameplay itself is fast and fun and enjoyable solo as well as with a team. The combat is satisfying and chaotic.

    The story isn't much, but it provides an interesting world with a good amount of lore to dig into if that's your thing. The world it provides is also quite beautiful, which runs quite contrary to the story and overall darker tone of the game.

    Overall the real attraction is the build crafting, so if that's something you enjoy, this game offers countless hours of fun. If you're a fan of looter shooters and making your own custom build for a character, I can't recommend this game enough.    … Expand

    I'm playing Outriders on a Steam FREE PLAY event, and I must say that I'm really impressed with the gameplay, story, graphics, combat, and audio.

Outriders is a fun time for me, and the combat is exciting and at times visceral. I came into this game with no expectations whatsoever, and I decided to give an unbiased attempt. This game comes from the developers of Painkiller, Bulletstorm, and Gears of War - so you know combat will be intense at times. Outriders is compared to Destiny quite a lot, and while I can see some of that core gameplay here Outriders does its own thing. The setting and aesthetic of the game reminds me of Mad Max meets Rage, with some Bulletstorm thrown in for good measure. I really like it.

    The enemy A.I. is engaging, and I was happy to see that enemies will advance on my position, rush me at times, and even come up on my flank. It kept me on my toes, and made sure that I had situational awareness at all times. A.I. like this will keep me from getting bored. Cover is very important in this game, and I'm guessing this is where the developer's GoW influences get injected into Outriders. Cover is great, and I honestly wish more developers would make it part of their gameplay as well; It's what I loved about The Division and Gears of War. It makes your combat choices smart, and allows for a more tactical approach to combat IMO.

    I also liked that the game allows me to set my difficulty setting. The game is setup around World Tiers, and as you level-up and collect gear - you can set your gameplay challenge accordingly. I also liked that the developers chose to reward players at higher difficulties with better loot drops. It definitely gives that risk versus reward scenario.

    Co-operative play was good for me. The queue seems to take some time to assemble a party of similarly leveled players, but wait times for me were under 60-seconds overall. I would only lose connection when the party leader would disconnect from the game, which seems like the system is working as intended/designed. The only downside to co-operative seems to be in hoping that everyone in the party is doing the same quests or missions as you.

    Overall my first impression with Outriders is very positive. The game offers a lot for me to enjoy, and while I've tried this game during a FREE PLAY event, I'm glad that I had a chance to give this game a go. I think its something that I would like to sink my teeth into.

    For any of you that happen to read my review, just know that I'm a casual gamer. I mention this because my gameplay experience with this title probably won't be me in the end game; I may never get there honestly. So my time will be spent leveling up my character, and seeing what that offers along the way. I've read many of the other reviews here on Steam, and while I haven't experienced any game-breaking bugs or problems, I've seen very minor glitches. Thankfully, it seems that the developer, People Can Fly (PCF), actively updates and patches this title. As for the gamers experiencing server disconnects and log-on problems, that hasn't been my experience at all; Connection to the game has been steady with no interruptions at all. YMMV.

    Overall, I like what Outriders is offering here. The game absolutely feels like Destiny in a lot of ways, but Outriders has its own style and flourishes.

    Outriders gets 4 out of 5 stars.    … Expand

    If you are looking for something to play with a friends or partner, this is the best choice. We liked it a lot more than the Borderlands (which we like very much too).
    It's a pity that poor optimization on release spoiled the game's average score.
    Gameplay - 10/10
    Graphics - 9/10
    Story - 8/10
    Optimization - 6/10

    For at least 2021 and 2020, the best shooter in almost everything!

    Graphics: here, in general, everything is at the highest level and this is on the Anreal engine. The design of levels, locations, nature, desert, buildings, caves, everything that surrounds the player immerses him in unprecedented beauty. We paid great attention to detail in everything absolutely.

    Sound: dubbing is beyond praise, unfortunately, but I will say that I liked dubbing more than in Cyberpunk. Background sound always spurs you on to action. Music prepares you for battle and lets you know when you can take a break.

    Gameplay: It's the icing on the cake! the game entertains in such a way that you can simply forget and play so that you do not notice how much time is spent in the game. it’s simply impossible to get bored in the game, so much action has been delivered that it’s hard to believe that it’s possible to think through everything and at the same time, there is no feeling of fatigue from shooting or what is happening, everything is in moderation.

    Verdict: an excellent looter shooter with an interesting plot, shooting, and a fantastic world. We are waiting for the continuation .......

    I definitely recommend it!    … Expand

Science, in this case computer science, takes time when pushing the envelope; add share holders and deadlines and, well, there are bound to be hiccups. 10/10 for me because it looks like my wife is going to get sucked in, and she NEVER shows any interest in shooters, particularly 3rd person ones.

    I love outriders, but there are definitely some things that stop me from loving it as much as I could.
    This is a 3rd person cover based shoote that can be played both solo and online with up to 3 players.
    I stuck to this games campaign solo and it took me about 14 hours to get through.. The game starts with you creating your own charcter, and the story here.. well it might as well not even exist.. I couldn’t tell you anything, I couldn’t even tell you how the game ends if I wanted to, basically a storm happens, youre frozen, youre unfrozen 20 years late futurama style, and you come out and wanna shoot stuff.
    The gameplay here is super fun and addictive.. most of the time.. thing gears of war meets mass effect meets the division.. obviously outriders feels nowhere near as polished and detailed as those games.. but for a first attempt in a series, this is a really good one… Something unique here that has promise but major issues is the tier system.. instead of choosing a difficulty, the game gets harder as you progress, everyone starts at story difficuolty, then you unlock easy, normal, hard, expert, and so on… however once you get to a tier you find too challenging aka too annoying youre free to drop back to any previously unlocked tier that youd like… and this is what I did on m way to tier 6, I dropped back to normal.. and why you might ask? I loved the challenge tier 5 was giving me.. however outriders is desined as a games of service game and for that reason, the checkpoints throughout the campaign are awful.. ontop of that there are insane random difficulty spikes… youll go from having an nice challenge to waves of enemies that have you wanting to bang your head against the wall, oyull get so close to the end, or completete the first wave and lose to some scrub and have to start all the way back at the beginning of wave 1 instead of the wave your died on.. enough to again make you want to drop down to normal difficulty.. however… even in normal these random spikes occur, theres even one enemy called the shaman warlord that is so unbalanced and overpowered that I had to drop down to story difficulty…
    Im sure I could have eventually beat them on normal, but story took 3 minutes, normal would’ve taken like an hour. It just wasn’t worth the effort,,, balancing in general I outriders biggest problem.. from random enemies feeling overpowered to random difficulty spikes and awful checkpoint system… so the gameplay can go from great to frustrating, the story is trash, why is outriders so good?
    Well that comes in the form of its looter hook… at the beginning of the game you choose one of 3 classes, and its so addictive to find weapons through this game and try to tailor them to your specific playstyle.. overcome these sometimes annoying challenges with a feeling god like power… as as you level up, youll choose 3 abilities to have at yoru disposal during combat… there is post game content though.. and plenty… the story mode is essentially you getting your character ready for the online bits.. even though of course you can play through the story with friends… but after the game is where leveling up your tier really starts to matter, this is where youll be challenging yourself to unlock new areas and collect all of these fallen pods…I however personally found the actual world of outriders to be pretty lack luster and uninteresting.. so naturally I have no interest in going off and grinding.. though I do believe the mechanics are fun enough here for plenty who would based on that alone…
    Outriders again has potential as a series.. would I play outriders 2? Yes…
    s again I loved the gameplay hook and Id love a sequal that balances everything out better.
    Am I clamoring for outriders 2? No.
    Again the story and world are lacking, and im not quite sure how the team over at people can fly can fix it.

    Ao jogar a BETA a primeira coisa que pude perceber foi a rasa criação de personagens, onde traz pouquíssimas variedades de personalização, mas esse era o menor dos problemas até aquele momento.

    Outriders chegou no Xbox Game Pass já em seu dia de lançamento fazendo assim com que a demanda pelo jogo fosse muito maior que o planejado, isso ocasionou (e ainda ocasiona) muitos problemas em seus servidores, fazendo com que muitos jogadores não consigam nem se conectar, já que sem conectar no servidor não poderá jogar!

    Algo que percebi ao decorrer do jogo é que os efeitos sonoros ao utilizar os poderes especiais são um pouco exagerado no volume, mostrando que sua mixagem de áudio não é uma das melhores já que algumas cutscenes em um personagem específico também é possível perceber esse problema.

    Porém não podemos deixar de elogiar a PeopleCanFly em alguns quesitos como por exemplo o combate do jogo, os cenários que ao decorrer do jogo pode se perceber que é muito mais do que “arenas de paintball” e o conteúdo do jogo, que mesmo após terminar ainda terá muito a se fazer em Outriders.    … Expand

    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.
