Neither fu nor fa, one more game to the bar and certainly not to be classified triple A.… Expand

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.    … Expand

    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.

    A lot of bugs, crashes, servers and performance issues but even without all these flaws, the game is average.
    It's a pretty basic arena looter shooter style so don't expect an open world ala The Division and don't expect either fights in open zones. Let's say it's like Gears 5 without the open world but with loot.

    The routine is divided as follow : you are teleported in a zone where you have to run to the next arena to fight enemies. After that, you go to the next arena. Little to explore, no differents paths, just corridors empty of enemies to walk you to the next arena. The side missions are locked behind doors and opening them will "loading screen" you to another zone where you will have to repeat the game routine. It's as basic as it sounds.
    About the gameplay, this is good while not perfect (the cover system can quickly lead you to a undeserved death because of its magnet feature) but the game suffers from balancing issues.
    In the same level difficulty (aka world tier), you will be able to kill a giant arachnide "souls" boss at your first try but you will struggle against enemy captains and die several times. But overall it's okay.

    The loot is abundant and really interesting, even in low tier you will have to experiment your build, change attributes, craft and modify items, etc... This is for me where the game shines the most.

    In conclusion, Outriders is a slighty above average game, though it is really overpriced (€60) for the basic arena encounters it has to offer..    … Expand

    While the game has a great foundation and potential, the decisions made for its development and its poor execution have severly hurt the games future. For a game that prodomently is played single player to be required to be online only ( a devision typically made as a eatto combat digital piracy)

Maybe in the future if it fixes many of its issues and had a price drop.

    Ignoring Server Issues, Crashes, and Game Breaking Bugs for the time being, this game is currently only OK. It's fun but not exactly good either. It definitely has potential though as a looter shooter. When it comes to build variety, it's nowhere near the depth of many other looter type games out there. I would almost consider this more of a "Lite" version of this genre to some extent.

    The gameplay itself is interesting as it has a cover mechanic system similar to Gears of War but is unnecessary since the combat is more aggressive and fast paced. Plus, the cover system is very archaic in design--clunky and actually hurts being agile. You cannot vault over tons of obstacles. You constantly are forced to take stairs or ramps when you should obviously be able to climb up a ledge but cannot. I would have much preferred the ability to jump and crouch and have a more natural, dynamic cover system that does not involve hard latching to walls. Would have complemented this game a lot more.

    Graphics have moments of being decent but overall, nothing special. A bit dated when considered in the AAA group of games (which its priced as such). Sound is OK. Its not always synced well and has a horrible level control--many times it randomly gets too loud which if wearing headphones is painful. I also do not care for the sound effects of some skills and weapons. But overall, the guns and skills do sound impactful. They just could have improved details.

    The game is also fairly 1 dimensional in design. You have an "arena" where you clear enemies out, go to a connection piece (usually a door), then go to the next "arena." Its fine for the game play but at the same time, can be monotonous. Its definitely an old school design and unoriginal. I would have preferred more dynamics with bigger maps to create more potential. Plus, there are these AWFUL transitional cutscenes. You always get stuck with a brief black screen, very brief cutscene of you opening something or jumping a ledge, then another brief black screen to then start playing. It happens for nearly everything. It hurts the cinematic feel with many situations. Even the different stages of a boss do this. I would have preferred staying in third person while watching a boss undergo changes vs this jarring effect. Just needs to be much more seamless in design.

    The different classes are definitely unique to each other. They have some cool abilities and cool looking gear. This is more of the highlight of the game because you definitely will feel powerful in most situations. Crafting is clean and simple for the most part with decent cohesion and interactions between the large variety of Mods. Again, not exactly a ton of depth like say Diablo 3, Warframe, Borderlands 3 or many other looter type games. But still fun to optimize builds.

    Another area the game needs some work on is AI. Enemies are nothing too special. Overall, they dont do bad. Sometimes I wished the ranged units would maneuver from cover to cover more and melee enemies didnt run in nearly a straight line to you all the time (give them an evasive maneuver which the human versions actually do). Ranged enemies can also be way harder than their bosses they accompany. They have insane levels of tracking (my god snipers are dumb to deal with in a couple maps). And most enemies will stagger you even if youre mid dodge (no I-Frames when dodging). You can actually get almost stun-locked at times and its incredibly frustrating. The overzealous stunning is actually an issue that definitely needs attention.

    Another area the game needs work on is balancing. Theres a definite gap where being high DPS with weapons is what really matters for the most part. You can just glass cannon throough everything and maintain healing through this--Damaging Skills need major buffs as well.. The endgame is timed trials and it heavily promotes this play style. If there were other formats of gameplay such as Defense mode or Horde mode, it could open gameplay up to also Tanks or supports

    Overall, fun game but needs a lot of work still and doesnt do anything new or unique in the genre. Plus, it has many bugs and performance issues thus a major reason for a low score. Ignoring the issues, I would give this game a 6/10.    … Expand

    After suffering through week of crashs and servers down they put major nerfs because of less then 1% of players breezeing though end game. Now two of four ckasses are practically unplayable. The patch to fix inventories wiped made it worse. Ive played cyberpunk, anthem and fallout 76 the issues here are so much worse then others.

    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.
