Most builds require legendary loot to even start playing them well for top 20% of content.

    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

    I originally reviewed this game and gave it a 2/10. For April 2021, I stand by that review. it was buggy, had too many cheap deaths, the endgame had little point, and I just put it down shortly after finishing the campaign because I couldn't stand to keep playing it.

For April 2021, I stand by that review. it was buggy, had too many cheap deaths, the endgame had little point, and I just put it down shortly after finishing the campaign because I couldn't stand to keep playing it.

    This is the November/December 2021 update along with some things I have learned.

    This game does more right (now) than I gave it credit for. Gone are the cheap deaths, gone are most of the bugs and gone is the frustration I felt the first time.

    How to enjoy this game:

    1. If you want to just enjoy the story, and cruise through the campaign - keep it on World Tier 1 (maybe 2). That's it. Anything World Tier 3 and higher is actually pretty hard.

    2. I would get to level 20 at least, and have some good gear before I bumped up the world tier.

    3. Just play how you want. The healing mechanic for technomancer is forgiving that you can play however you want. For Devastator and Trickster, you can focus on close range builds. Pyromancer - I have no idea yet.

    4. Sniper rifles and single shot guns have no place in this game. Use a light machine gun, auto rifle, or double gun. If you're playing up close, an auto shotgun. No other weapons are useful.

    5. The story is just meh - but there are some funny moments. Don't take it any more seriously than a plot point to get you to the next area.

    6. Transmog your gear - no point walking around looking like a smoldering skeleton glued onto some hot garbage. Just look how you want.

    7. In the campaign, don't travel too much. Let completed quests pile up before going back to Trench Town to turn in bounties. The load times are still so slow, that it will add hours to your game if you're not efficient.

    Unlike 6-7 months ago, I'm having fun with the above methods. I play on World Tier 1, I'm levelling up and never in any serious danger.

    This is a fun looter. I like Expeditions, because it's co-op and no mic is needed. The powers are cool.

    I think the game does not get more than a 7/10 because:

    1. It was launched broken/unfinished - credit for fixing it now, but it's not cool to charge $80 CAD for something you're 6 months away from finishing.

    2. You cannot jump in this, like Diablo III (only with guns), and I still hate having to find a ramp to kill enemies that are high up.

    3. The graphics look like 2014-2015.

    4. The premise is good, but the story is not.

    In closing:

    I don't think this game is as bad as my first rating, and after New Horizon, I gave it a second chance. I am glad I did because I am having a lot of fun now.

    I believe in second chances and Outriders got one. They finally delivered on the promises at launch and I like to say "better late than never"/    … Expand

    Unplayable. For example:
    - Shaky camera makes me dizzy. I tried every settings, but nothing works.
    - You can never pause cutscenes or combat.
    - Camera control is too sensitive at field, and too slow at combat
    - Glitchy

    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.

The demo is terrible but the actual game is better though quite buggy. End of the day it's just very average. Better to buy older games on sale and wait for outsiders to drop in price. 6/10 not bad just average but imo average is almost worse than bad.    … Expand

    Very buggy game. Story is average and the gameplay is average. Unless you have very specific builds the second you even try "end game" content on the easiest setting you get demolished and have zero chance.

    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 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 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.

    Outriders doesn't care if you like it or not. You shoot/blast the same variations of enemies through a half-developed story campaign, then repeat dull mini-strikes ad infinitum for the "endgame."

No, it convinced enough of us to play it and secure its future...as what, we're not quite sure. In all fairness, there are some interesting bits of lore and events buried underneath the unintentionally hilarious dialog and live-service tropes (without the "service.") Some of the environments beg to be explored, but we are confined to small arenas and hallways. We shoot. We loot. We rinse and repeat. None of the weapons or gear are interesting enough to entice anyone beyond the hardcore theorycraft and min-max crowd, and the spongy enemies are little more than fuel for your anomaly powers and health bar.

    The visual design is an odd mix of PS3/360-era filler with modern bells and whistles tacked on to present a fairly dull and ugly vision of a mysterious alien world. The limitations of the PS4 Pro are obvious, and a 1080p option is sorely needed to avoid the huge slowdowns and stop-motion animation of everything outside of the smallest battles.

    Audio channels cut in and out, most sound effects seem to be ripped from an old B-Movie, and the overall mix is awful. Bring your own tunes, and blast them to drown out the noise. Nothing that any of the characters have to say is important, so don't worry about missing out.

    Customization is irrelevant. Crafting is only useful when modding high-end gear. No offline mode. Connection demands seem to be higher than most--lag is definitely a thing. Etc. Etc. I really wanted to like it, but the current state of things rails against any charm that the game was able to muster. Mediocre, scrub. Mediocre.    … Expand

    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.

But you lose a point for doing the same basic story as Mass Effect. Earth is dying, find a new home on distant planet. Before even giving a score with the overall negatives, which there are a lot, and the positive, the score starts out as 5 out of 10. This is where the review score begins. So this score is in comparison to other games in similar category, looter shooter. Its not better than either Division games. It is better, to me, than COD games. I do not like 1st person shooters. Equal to Mass Effect games even though Mass Effect is an RPG but still a looter shooter. Now 4/5 because better than some, worse than others. End game is bland and boring, however most games do not begins with an endgame. The endgame comes months later with an update. So you gain and lose a point. 4/10.

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

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 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

    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.

    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.
