    Don't believe the naysayers. Outriders is a very enjoyable game. Shame on Square Enix for treating it like a second-class release. But what's good about Outriders manages to shine through anyway.

    I really like this game. Great graphics, excellent story, and super good gameplay. Sure, there are some annoying technical issues with the servers, but if you can get past that, you'll have a fantastic experience.

    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

    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.

    Das Gameplay und das Konzept ist spitze.

    Jede Klasse darf 3 Spells aufrüsten, die Waffen sind super und das Aufwerten der Ausrüstung ist ganz gut durchdacht, nur nicht so gut umgesetzt. Es mangelt dauernd an Titan, daher werden größtenteils blaue Rüstungsteile verwendet, anstatt lila und goldene, da man für die nur Eisen oder sowas braucht. Die Storys ist richtig 0815 und nicht

    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.

    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.
