    Not the GOTY, but I really good game, really fun and straightforward. Not like the clusterf*cks Destiny 2 and Division 2.

    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.

    i want to be fully honest with you. i played the demo for more than twenty hours and had a ton of fun. i chose to buy the full version and was eager to get in, when it was out. but: servers down. next day: servers down. it happened frequently in the first days after launch at rush hour. this is - of course disappointing and i can understand any frustration players are talking about.i want to be fully honest with you. i played the demo for more than twenty hours and had a ton of fun. i chose to buy the full version and was eager to get in, when it was out. but: servers down. next day: servers down. it happened frequently in the first days after launch at rush hour. this is - of course disappointing and i can understand any frustration players are talking about.

    but: servers are NOT the game. judging a game only by its server issues is severely unfair - as these problems will be solved in foreseeable future. even with those problems solved - the mediocre to extremely bad reviews remain visible to just about anybody. imagine this: you login to the game in a week from now and realize it´s actually pretty awesome. punishing the devs for their infrastructure is in no relation to the effort behind such a game - art direction, storytelling, coding, ...

    so lets put things into perspective again:
    the servers suck right now.
    but:
    the game has good writing, an interesting story, some hilariously well done cut scenes that entertained me a lot. i identify with my own character, which is pretty seldom given the fact, that i play a shooter. the gunplay is pretty solid, lots of weapon feedback - and the RPG level ads an interesting and highly individual element to my playing style. the idea that you only heal, when you kill is awesome. great amount of chaos - in a positive way. and: the voice acting is awesome - but thats a quite subjective view, as i´ve seen reading other reviews.

    the reason i give it a clear 10 is, though, to compensate all the zeros given by people who are simply angry because of first day server problems. they don´t evaluate the game. the game deserves an 8 or 9.    … Expand

    9 corridors out of 10. Normal igruha, the atmosphere of the plot and the design of the corridors at a height. Everything works for me without lags and stable FPS.

    Masterpiece, 10/10. True that servers was an issue first 2-3 days, but NO reason to downvote a game for that. Last 2 days had no problems at all.
    Graphics runs very smooth, 1440P with dlss quality, all maxed (10900K+3080)

    Best game out there today, buy it!!!

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. Uber violent "B movie" science fiction with super powers? Sign her up! Happy wife, happy life as they say.… Expand

    game out couple days and the whining about online servers - give devs 2 weeks like every other launch.

    game is fantastic - nasty mix of gears of war and the division. combat a+ and nasty, challenging - 16 levels - possibly most challenging game made. play solo for now...

    Creo que hubo problemas con los servidores el primer día, por eso tiene tantos votos negativos, pero a mi no me ha dado ningún problema.

    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

    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.
