    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

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

The Multiplayer is somewhat good. It's cool that you can play with friends on other consoles when on PC, love games that do that and I got to give props to where it's due. Unfortunately, this game's multiplayer is super laggy, sometimes bullets from enemies don't even exist, and sometimes you will get shot through walls if you are not hosting. The game is also super laggy when you are not the host. After you beat the 10-hour story, you will be able to play destiny like nightfalls but with the previous missions. Beating all 15 of the missions will allow you to do a final boss fight, which is the same boss you fight when you beat the game just in a different area with different powers. When this game was announced I was hoping it wouldn't be an Anthem clone but unfortunately, it was. I would say give this game a try when it's on sale for $25.

In cui impressionerete il vostro alterego in cui c’è una minaccia da potere sconfiggere e molto altro ancora. è uno sparatutto GdR con trama in cui i giocatori si metteranno nei panni di un Outrider, ovvero l’ultima speranza della razza umana, e saranno intrappolati su Enoch, un pianeta pericoloso e selvaggio.

    Il gioco Lo ho giocai su PC,X-CLOUD e Google Stadia,
    Cosa vi posso dire si che e un gioco fatto molto bene stilisticamente parlando anche dal Doppiaggio non è male ma purtroppo non è tutto rosa e fiori, in quanto dalla mia prova che lo ho giocai ho avuto problemi sia il bilanciamento di livello difficoltà che potete scegliere ma il gioco è puntato in Coop e dovete giocare in cooperativa, ma è possiible farlo anche da soli il gioco ma dovete abbassare certe volte il livello di difficoltà per andare avanti perché più va avanti poi diventa complesso riguardante molti nemici sia su schermi, e poi boss molto ostici da sconfiggere molto altro.
    Demo su PC tramite XCLOUD

    Il livello di abilità come sistema di raffinazione non è male in cui il giocatore può decidere diverse classi e in cui varia il propio gameplay di gioco ed punta alle esigenze del giocatore, purtroppo è presente anche il sistema delle microtransazioni ma facilitano solo il gioco fino ad un certo punto per le armi leggendarie e altro.
    Giocato su XCLOUD

    Al livello Tecnico cosa vi posso dire è stupendo ricco di dettaglio il gioco è stato fatto con Unreal Engine 4 e in base alla piattaforme ho riscontrato pochi bug sulle collisioni e altro ma sto che il team di sviluppo lo sta correggendo in corsa per dare un’ottima esperienza l’utente su questo meraviglioso titolo, il frame rate oscilla dai 60FPS ma certe volte cala quando ci sono situazioni disparate ma rimane comunque stabile sia in 1080p e 4K su Stadia che è stato il mio banco di prova anche su Xbox tramite Xcloud si comportava molto bene anche se la connessione non era abbastanza fluida ho riscontrato pochi lag.

    La differenza tra queste tre piattaforme quale la più vincitore secondo te?

    Allora e una scelta tra il giocatore per chi non avesse Stadia può giocarlo direttamente su PC attraverso GeForce Now in streaming, se desiderate giocarlo su Console potete acquistarlo normalmente oppure per chi ha Il gamepass lo trova all’interno compreso XCLOUD per giocarlo con vostri amici Xbox e PC, poi se avete Stadia potete giocarlo tranquillamente.

    E pensato per qualsiasi esigente di pubblico ma per me la versione che rimane la migliore se volete è stadia non abbiate problemi di framerate oppure di connessione che non ho riscontrato problemi come GeForceNow e Xcloud anceh se e beta fanno un loro lavoro ma Stadia è stata la pionerre del settore ed funziona perfettamente.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    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    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).

    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.    … Expand

    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 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.    … Expand

    Basically, I am satisfied with the game. A little crooked character movement and animation, but generally good

    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.
