    This game has an inventory wipe bug where even If you do not play ”online” i.e use matchmaking ur entire, ENTIRE inventory, all gear, all ur time spent just poof! Gone. Ud think the devs/support could help you get it back but they just announced that Nope, ur just **** IN A LOOTER SHOOTER GAME THIS IS A THING. Do. Not. Play.

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.

    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.

    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.

    0/10, I would never recommend this.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. By far the worst level design I have ever seen. For example, clever boss design is replaced by being mowed down by hordes of enemies on tiny battlefields.
    A great game in itself, but this can take all the joy out of it.

    This is a massive WOKE TROJAN HORSE. The game is supposed to be a space / sci-fi loot / shooter but in reality it's just ... surprise! .. .more woke nonsense from the gaming industry. The story is about how the big, bad, mean, war-mongering, white man invades a planet full of peaceful, transgender, indigenous people to enslave them. Of course they left Earth because of global warming.This is a massive WOKE TROJAN HORSE.

    The gameplay and mechanics are sort of a Mass Effect-Gears of War-The Division mashup, and it works for the most part. Decent gun variety, satisfying and interesting mods, and an interesting mutation system. The classes are a bit locked and you can only have three abilities chosen at a time (with no pause to change in a fight if you realize you went with the wrong combo).

Decent gun variety, satisfying and interesting mods, and an interesting mutation system. The classes are a bit locked and you can only have three abilities chosen at a time (with no pause to change in a fight if you realize you went with the wrong combo).
    The dialog is pretty bad with only a couple of the characters even having anything remotely close to decent personalities. It seems everyone is massively bi-polar, and the voice acting is "meh" at best. The player character is probably the best voiced in the whole game and has the most stable personality when dealing with situations.
    The story is just atrocious. The first 15 minutes of the game reels you in with a decent story and ok characters, then goes downhill like an Olympic skier. The world ends and only the best of the best of humanity are saved. But when things get a little tough, the supposed best of the best turn into blood thirsty animals who kill each other for no reason with. It was obvious that the writers never even thought of talking to a veteran, as every NPC's excuse for executing surrendering soldiers, or in one case an enemy soldier who saved the NPC's life (who in turn executes him), is "This is what war is", which it most definitely is not. NPC's will die when it makes no sense for them to die; one scene everyone is screaming and pointing guns at each other, then the main bad guy of the event shoots the one guy with a holstered weapon trying to diffuse the situation and literally asking for everyone to just calm down and talk, not the girl screaming in his face, not the soldiers pointing guns at each other, but the guy staying calm trying to talk it out. Then there is both sides trying to get you to fight for them talking about how everyone is almost out of ammunition and supplies, but there is always bullets flying everywhere, massive explosions, and just spray-and-pray mentalities.
    If you ignore the story and can get through the terribly made cut scenes (like a cameraman who never heard of a gimble or stabilization technology is having a seizure while he films), the game can be pretty fun.

    It's hard to believe, but there are still bugs that prevent the game from being played. These bugs prevent you from shooting and make the ability unusable. After a while, I closed the game in anger and deleted it.

    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.
