    do not buy this game. it is pointless garbage with no redeeming qualities. it is generic and bland in every possible way with exception of its even worse short comings. on ps4 pro it runs like garbage while managing to look worse than 10 year old games

    Normally, I don’t buy day one but after playing a pretty smooth demo, I figured I’d give this one a chance. BOY was I wrong!!!!! I present to you Anthem 2.0...

    I cannot even hardly log into the game much less play the darn thing. When you do get in, it crashes and freezes constantly. Multiplayer is even worse. We tried cross play and it lasted all of three minutes before crashing everytime. Glitches and bugs happen day one but server connectivity issues, especially from a company like Square Enix not to mention the fact that it is an online game, should not! What little I could play, the story ‘seems’ interesting. The dialogue and voice acting are believable compared to most other games. The fact that there is no PvP means that it is story driven but we’ll never know till they correct the server issues. But it did peak my interest. The graphics are pretty cool but that’s where it ends for me. The controls are unfortunately clunky. Targeting is WAY OFF. We were missing at point blank range with a shotgun while the AI could target and shoot us right thru the walls and obstacles designed to provide cover. Our powers and melee kept triggering almost automatically constantly and controls kept freezing up although I don’t know if that may have been partly due to the ongoing server issues. When trying to use abilities such as the Tricksters slice or Time Freeze for example, it was noticeably delayed compared to the demo which was much smoother and responsive which is odd considering most demo’s are rough compared to the final release. The gameplay itself is cookie cutter run and gun chaotic, which is getting really old with these shooters. You would think that developers would begin employing more stealth and strategy in these games other than run and shoot them before they shoot you. I had high hopes for this title but once again find myself disappointed.    … Expand

    A textbook example of "pushing" a product in the new economy.

    This game had a month-long Beta where tons of problems came to light - from the basic (janky movements of the character, cam-shaking to make you want to swith off your tv) to the real meaty ones (loot lost, char resets, coop not working, lag a nightmare with teleporting the norm, no concept for shared loot and so on).

    This game had a month-long Beta where tons of problems came to light - from the basic (janky movements of the character, cam-shaking to make you want to swith off your tv) to the real meaty ones (loot lost, char resets, coop not working, lag a nightmare with teleporting the norm, no concept for shared loot and so on).

    Normally the reddit community for example would have ripped that apart. But (wonder how) tons of positive review, what a great game, what a great developer this is, and they really talk to us, we are so lucky - including a shill article on Forbes that concluded basically "even if this game does not work is great" - probably this was too much even for the journalist.

    And btw if someone raised some legitimate questions (for example, today day 3 after release, still a ban on press reviews, or the servers not working after 3 days) - barrage of "its the same for all the other games" or "its fauit of Azure" and downvotes. Peppered with gems like "I like it even more because its so buggy and does not work I love it".

    That the game was suddendly in the xbox game pass its a red flag as big as the ever given ship btw.

    Fast forward to release date:

    Money has been paid (and at a AAA+ price), the cat is in the bag and people are left with a non-working game (servers) and when it works the mountain of all bugs never addressed in the beta. And slowly but surely the honeymoon will fade over, the (paid) press releases will try to squeeze some more cash out of the usual gullible, uninformed or cash whales - and then ?

    Of course this is what it is, a first attempt at looter shooter, with good ideas probably (we cannot play the game as the servers does not work), which in the 30 $ range may have been interesting.

    But this thing cost as much as Destiny. And is not a destiny-killer. Is not even an anthem-killer. It is what it is, a buggy game pushed from the publisher using reddit, forbes etc in an attempt to at least mititgate the financial debacle.

    What do we learn from this ? Unless you trust the producer (one name: From Software) dont preorder, dont buy on release, wait always 2-3 weeks. The feedback and review system has been rigged for good, every turd is depicted as being a gold apple, only weapon for us consumer - wait and see. If its a gem you will spend 300 hours on, you can afford to wait 2 weeks.    … Expand

Conversely, if I could pay to erase this game from existence I would also do that. The difficulty spikes would be bad enough to ruin the game for me on their own, even if they weren't paired with floaty aiming, terrible and inconsistent cover mechanics, and weapons that felt like they were shooting pellets. Enemies pretty much all just rush, and you're constantly funneled into areas where you have one piece of cover you better cling to for dear life or you'll be annihilated. The areas seem like they could offer dynamic and engaging combat, but the fact that this game isn't truly open world means you can't ever really engage enemies on your terms or with a strategy you've decided. If you are brave enough to stay mobile and aggressive (as the game SUGGESTS) you get punished with waves of enemies popping in behind and all around you. I can't give an honest critique of the story because it was so forgettable I didn't know what I was doing half the time I was playing. The russian guy was cool I guess. Bottom line: 3/10.

    Buggy and broken. Every time the developer releases a patch to "fix" one of many game-breaking bugs, they introduce 5 more game-breaking bugs. People Can Fly clearly have no idea what they are doing. Thought Cyberpunk 2077 was bad? This is worse. You are better of spending your time and money on ANYTHING else.

    I wanted to give the game a zero score, but I'll give it a one because of it's environment and creature design.

    Another looter shooter lacking good loot. Another online-only game lacking online content with awful support. Another game incomplete at launch that will be stuck in a cycle of constant updates because every time they fix one thing they break another. Like Anthem and Destiny    I wanted to give the game a zero score, but I'll give it a one because of it's environment and creature design.

Another game incomplete at launch that will be stuck in a cycle of constant updates because every time they fix one thing they break another. Like Anthem and Destiny before it, this game's story is presented with as much charm as a rapist and is downright unappealing and bland.

    It almost seems like the developers looked back at all the mistakes looter-shooters of the past have made and went "Make sure all those are in our game." The only looter-shooter worse than this is Square Enix's other disaster, Avengers. Borderlands 2 is nine years old, but leaps and bounds better than this steaming pile. If you're going to play a looter-shooter, go play literally any one that doesn't have Square Enix's name involved.

Maybe in the future if it fixes many of its issues and had a price drop to about $40.

    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 completely 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 but once you get about World Tier 8 or 9, you will start noticing a major drop-off to balance between Anomaly and Fire Power--something the devs need to drastically rework to help implement greater build varieties between the two stats. Anomaly Power just falls off hard without some core Legendaries. 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 but not most monsters or Elites). 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 'pounce' attacks will actually home in on you even if you dodge (dumbest thing ever). 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.

    Oh and endgame is a pretty monotonous. Grinding and looting is fun but typically it's best when there's more than 1 mode to grind.

    Overall, fun game but needs a lot of work still and doesnt do anything new or unique in the genre, which is fine if it actually had more diverse content. 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 tops.    … Expand

    Good gameplay; terrible bugs, fast-travel system and end-game design. Server issues made the game unplayable at launch - attempts to fix the game have caused more serious issues like entire inventories being deleted for many players. Updates released right before the weekend so there's no real chance of rolling back the broken updates or rolling them back.

    In 6 months, this game will probably be good but for now there are dozens of reddit threads mentioning losing hundreds of hour's worth of gear and rampant crashes, disconnects and poorly optimised gameplay and net code.

    Yesterday happened to me the Inventory Wipe Bug: 50 hours playing the game and now I have my endgame character emptied. Developers are roaming in the dark. That's a shame because I liked the game even after connections problems and continuous crash on PS4 PRO.

    I did not like the game after playing the demo version of this game, I did not like the most important part of it - it is an element of the shooter where it is completely absent, it is simply impossible to play.The weapon wobbles and it is inconvenient to shoot

    Outriders is worth the time investment so far, in spite of its clunkiness and server instability at launch. Although the game has areas it needs to improve, the core ideas and gameplay are incredibly strong, making it easy to overlook whatever flaws are present. It's also an easy game to recommend for both solo players and groups of friends looking for a shooter to dive into together, and because of the world tier mechanic, anyone with any level of skill can jump into Outriders and have a great time. With a handful of hours left to go in the main campaign, that doesn't appear likely to change - though this review will be updated and finalized once completed to reflect the whole of the experience either way.

    Outriders offers an alternative in the looter shooter genre that is very enjoyable if played in company, but without offering anything groundbreaking compared to other alternatives. Its connectivity failures ruin the gaming experience.

    At first glance Outriders might look like some other shooters such as Destiny or The Division, but its complicated and diverse combat help it stand alone and impress, and with some better support and polish can easily challenge other loot shooters in the market.
