    Los servidores no sirven y por ende no deja jugar. Los gráficos dejan mucho que desear. Y el gameplay no lo es pues no se puede jugar sin que el juego te saque.

    Game is fun to play but you can't play it. There is a permanent server connection needed, even for solo playing, but the servers are not suitable for the player count.

    Don't buy this game.

    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 core gameplay is very addicting massacring through hordes of Enemies while the World Tier System gives you a sense of thinking while doing it. The Higher the World Tier the harder it gets. You can also change the World Tier to a lower one when it gets too hard for you which is often needed at certain bosses.
    The Enemie variety ranges from Humanoid to Monster while they all have quite the Similar attack pattern (Atleast the Humanoid).
    The Story at the start is a bit cringy and not that good but the more you get into it the better it gets and the Side quests are a must and range from Mad Cultists to Lumberjacks lul.
    Overall the Enviroment isn't too bad on Enoch and there are different zones like Snow, Desert ect.
    The level Design is quite a bit obvious but doesn't make the experience bad in any way.
    Due to the server issues that happen at the moment whom differ from region to region maybe wait a few days until you buy it.    … Expand

I dont understand why they did not even manage to stablize the server. How can I give a good rating when I can not even log in?? truly disappointing....my fxxckin 60 something bucks.

    I can't even get through the prologue, if you disconnect you need to start all over again. Now I can't even interact with the first flag. This is on April 3de.

    Only thing left is to figure out how to get a refund from epic, you can keep your game, I don't want it.

    Well, as I thought this game is really disappointed. Repetitive, visually looks like an old gen game and that gameplay isn't innovative. It ok to play as a free game (gamepass) but doesn't worth to spend money on it.

Forget these idiots and get the game. It's one of the best games I've ever played, with a really well polished concept that is addicting to play. The gunplay, mod perks, and weapon/armor designs are all great. There's plenty to do, it can get challenging at times, and the powers and classes are so much fun to use. The skill tree is highly adaptable, and what I love most about it is having the ability to dip into other "subclass" perks and do a mismatching of sorts to cater to your playstyle. The abilities you can choose from for each class are also really good and all affect your playstyle as well. Add to the fact that you can swap out mods on armor and weapons, and you essentially have a plethora of potential combinations to try out for different builds. The game is extremely solid. Sure, there are server issues and problems with crossplatform connectivity; but ultimately the actual gameplay itself is everything you could want in a looter shooter. 10/10 would recommend to a friend and your mother.… Expand

    Game itself is a pretty solid experience, probably a 7,5-8/10.

    Servers are always down: being an online only game (even if I play solo), it is simply unplayable.

    Always online. Politics. Buggy. Aesthetics seem to be stuck somewhere between looking like a modern game and something from 2006. Gameplay is like a conjoined twin, one half wants to travel in the opposite direction of the other. Has an interesting setting though. Not worth $60, wait for a significant sale.

The Story is not the most immersive and interesting one, but in connection with the fights - which are really "epic" and fun to play - it is not having that much of a negative impact. Futhermore you also have a wide variety of skills to choose, and of course the four main character types. Based around what I have seen and experienced in the last 5 to 6 hours, I am yet overall pretty satisfied with the skill and attribute system. Weapons can be customized too, not too much but enough, and you can of course also customize your character and/or your truck. During the first 5 to 6 hours in the released game I experienced not many bugs, but I was a victim of horrible network issues which were obviously primarily happening when many players would come online. These issues were particially fixed, yet they dont seem to be fully gone. Other problems, such as gamebreaking bugs or glitches, were not to be seen.

    All in all I would call it a decent game, which should be fun to play. Especially players which are preferring loot shooters will enjoy this game. In point of graphics the game is also decent, and it is definitely playable in its current state.    … Expand

    Outriders is a fast rpg looter shooter. The game is not easy, you will die many times but it is a lot of fun. There are some minor issues with server connection because of a big interest but it will definitely improve in the coming days. However, this does not change that the game is great and can give many hours of fun.

    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.
