    Finally a game that's doing it right!!!
    It gives you a proper free demo, so try and see for yourself if you love the game.
    The demo is huge, has several missions that are representative of the game. So there should be no people who buy this game and are disappointed. Once you decided to buy the game - your progress and character are transferred from the demo. And this is applicable to    Finally a game that's doing it right!!!

    That's the proper way to release an expensive new game!!! Thank you to the developers!! I'm not into multiplayer, but the game is doing the right thing by also enabling cross-platform multiplayer. That's the proper respect to its audience!

    If you are interested in the game, and you should be as it is a great game - try out the demo.
    Stop reading the reviews.

    Obviously, no game is perfect and this being a huge game it has it's share of small issues. I had to turn off and unplug my PS4 to reset cache, once. There are also a few seconds when screens are loading. But that's all expected.

    The game itself - it's a Halo-like shooter. Enough said.

    Enjoy!!!    … Expand

    Despues del problema con los servidores el juego va genial en modo un jugador. Es una mezcla de Destiny y Gears of wars, me encanta

    Gioco veramente particolare,le prime ore sembra non dirti nulla,ma appena decolla diventa veramente divertente,ti da dipendenza.
    Grafica discreta,gameplay frenetico e storia bella ma un po’ anonima..ha tutte le carte in regola per diventare un punto di riferimento Diablolike/lootshooter.

    This game is addicting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unfortunately the game had serious issues with server at release, otherwise the rating would be average 8.5 to 9.2 but everyone is angry. including me but thr game is magnificent. I don't like shooters, only games like Dark Souls or JRPG but this game is in a completely different level... One of the best games i ever played and i'm 51 years old. This is One of the best games of the last 10 years for me, i hope everyone gets to play it because it's so much fun that i played 20 hours 2nd April alone.

    Fun when it works but I rarely can get past the signing in stage and one of the side quests crashes the system repeatedly (tried 3 times before giving up). If they sort out the issues, it should be fun.

    Edit: Now that they have seemingly stabilized the servers some, I'm having a lot more fun. Adjusted score from 3 to 9. I'm enjoying the story and gameplay. Graphics are good.

    To start out I would like to say that I have spent about 10 hours in the game. I typically don’t review games but I was a little sad to see the game getting review bombed for server issues.

    Outriders looked a bit rough to me but the RPG elements, class choices, and the co-op cover shooter style intrigued me. I didn’t really like the way it felt at first but as I played more it and unlocked new abilities the game has started to grow on me more. A lot of people keep trying to compare it to other games and I found myself doing the same in my head a bit. You can’t go into this game with those assumptions. It may draw inspiration from a variety of games but it is unique. The story is good. The voice acting is a bit cheesy. Overall you might just need to give it a chance. I didn’t really like the game for the first couple hours but I’d say I’m pretty invested now.

    Pros:
    +Gameplay and battles are fun
    +Unique character classes and solid build customization
    +The story itself is good

    Cons:
    —Voice lines are pretty cheesy
    —There are a few bugs but haven’t seen anything game-breaking yet
    — Matchmaking overall is pretty bad/broken (Ex. You can’t matchmake for a specific purpose such as a boss encounter)    … Expand

    Theres some potential here
    I love outriders, but there are definitely some things that stop me from loving it as much as I could. This is a 3rd person cover based shoote that can be played both solo and online with up to 3 players. I stuck to this games campaign solo and it took me about 14 hours to get through.. The game starts with you creating your own charcter, and the    Outriders

    I love outriders, but there are definitely some things that stop me from loving it as much as I could.
    This is a 3rd person cover based shoote that can be played both solo and online with up to 3 players.
    I stuck to this games campaign solo and it took me about 14 hours to get through.. The game starts with you creating your own charcter, and the story here.. well it might as well not even exist.. I couldn’t tell you anything, I couldn’t even tell you how the game ends if I wanted to, basically a storm happens, youre frozen, youre unfrozen 20 years late futurama style, and you come out and wanna shoot stuff.
    The gameplay here is super fun and addictive.. most of the time.. thing gears of war meets mass effect meets the division.. obviously outriders feels nowhere near as polished and detailed as those games.. but for a first attempt in a series, this is a really good one… Something unique here that has promise but major issues is the tier system.. instead of choosing a difficulty, the game gets harder as you progress, everyone starts at story difficuolty, then you unlock easy, normal, hard, expert, and so on… however once you get to a tier you find too challenging aka too annoying youre free to drop back to any previously unlocked tier that youd like… and this is what I did on m way to tier 6, I dropped back to normal.. and why you might ask? I loved the challenge tier 5 was giving me.. however outriders is desined as a games of service game and for that reason, the checkpoints throughout the campaign are awful.. ontop of that there are insane random difficulty spikes… youll go from having an nice challenge to waves of enemies that have you wanting to bang your head against the wall, oyull get so close to the end, or completete the first wave and lose to some scrub and have to start all the way back at the beginning of wave 1 instead of the wave your died on.. enough to again make you want to drop down to normal difficulty.. however… even in normal these random spikes occur, theres even one enemy called the shaman warlord that is so unbalanced and overpowered that I had to drop down to story difficulty…
    Im sure I could have eventually beat them on normal, but story took 3 minutes, normal would’ve taken like an hour. It just wasn’t worth the effort,,, balancing in general I outriders biggest problem.. from random enemies feeling overpowered to random difficulty spikes and awful checkpoint system… so the gameplay can go from great to frustrating, the story is trash, why is outriders so good?
    Well that comes in the form of its looter hook… at the beginning of the game you choose one of 3 classes, and its so addictive to find weapons through this game and try to tailor them to your specific playstyle.. overcome these sometimes annoying challenges with a feeling god like power… as as you level up, youll choose 3 abilities to have at yoru disposal during combat… there is post game content though.. and plenty… the story mode is essentially you getting your character ready for the online bits.. even though of course you can play through the story with friends… but after the game is where leveling up your tier really starts to matter, this is where youll be challenging yourself to unlock new areas and collect all of these fallen pods…I however personally found the actual world of outriders to be pretty lack luster and uninteresting.. so naturally I have no interest in going off and grinding.. though I do believe the mechanics are fun enough here for plenty who would based on that alone…
    Outriders again has potential as a series.. would I play outriders 2? Yes…
    s again I loved the gameplay hook and Id love a sequal that balances everything out better.
    Am I clamoring for outriders 2? No.
    Again the story and world are lacking, and im not quite sure how the team over at people can fly can fix it.
    I give Outriders

    Want to thank the Developers (People can Fly) for delivering this awesome game to us. The experience has been a breath of fresh air in the Looter Genre. FUN ... Lots of other titles want to be so damn serious. The corny dialog voice acting had me engaged. The Gun play, Loot, sure its linear but that what they build iys up for. Look forward to future expansions

    One of the most underrated games of the year.
    Outriders is, basically, one of the most fun TPS games released during this years.
    With a great gunplay, and an actually amazing plot.
    If you enjoy playing TPS games, I can safely recommend you this one.

    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.
