    Hood, Outlaws & Legends is a game set in one my favourite periods of history, aswel as being a pretty big fan of stealth action games.

    Unfortunately what seemed to be a promising take on something similar in the mix of hunt showdown/rainbow 6 siege. The game has overall left me with disappointment. Stealth elements in the game don't feel useful enough to use and now everyone is maining Little John, it just turns out to be a button mashing fest to see who can spam out the other player in a battle. if you play as the stealthy characters (Robin or Marianne) it feels like I cannot counter Little John at all. Enemy AI seem very dumb or over alert. Button commands are sometimes unresponsive at the most annoying of times.
    I unfortunately can't get a refund as I've downloaded the game digitally (PS5)...
    I hope the game gets improvements from feedback but it's going to be a big overhaul.    … Expand

    Another boring and soulless multiplayer oriented game that no one asked for. The gameplay is very repetitive in nature

    It feels like a dlc，not a complete game.Bad operation，few skills，lack of role growth.

    Maps and characters are interesting. But this game is completely dragged down by its game mode. I was expecting the game was about stealth, tactics and flanking. but all matchs turn into an uninspired brawl game around the chest or the winch. People spawning endlessly till the end of the anticlimactic winching final...but there is a game underneath...Hope it can be quickly saved by a newMaps and characters are interesting.

    Overrall fantastic concept of a game and was really interested reading the description of what the game was advertised as. Unfortunately, it was a major let-down.

Unfortunately, it was a major let-down.

    Let’s talk the general incentive of the game is to steal the treasure for the people using the necessary teamwork of taking down npc enemies, opening routes of passage for your teammates, challenging the enemy team, and using your two measily abilities to fight.

    This game is essentially just team death match with bonus objectives that no one really does because once you see an opposing player, that’s who you’re going to go after. By the way, don’t even think of going head on with the enemy team without your teammates nearby. This game’s 1v1’s try to pull off a ‘For Honor’ move, but fail horribly when the moment you engage in a 1v1, another enemy comes up to assassinate you. There’s no escaping that situation unless your teammates interrupt the event, but in my experience, they never really did that. Sometimes you’ll find actual people who communicate well and have great strategies, but it’s quickly overrun by busted melee characters such as our friends Tooke and John. Once you enter Tooke’s little bubble, his weapon follows you around like a fish trying to eat bait and it deals MAJOR damage. John can endlessly spam his light attack when in his power, making going against him essentially useless. Oh wait! Don’t forget you can just go up behind him and assassinate him. Teamwork makes the dream work!

    Combat is incredibly clunky and the game settings are next to nothing. There needs to be added sensitivity in the game because I feel like I’m playing on Resident Evil sensitivity. The controls are also clunky when guarding really not working half the time or you just get 1 shot by Robin’s arrows.

    I admit I wasn’t great at the game, but I also wasn’t horrible at the game. This game’s concept is good, but it plays the opposite of how it should. I don’t recommend this.    … Expand

    The crossplay function is heavily advertised, but you can't invite friends from other consoles and can only play with random people.
    I have heard and read from many people that they only bought this game because of Xbox and Playstation crossplay and ended up playing alone.

    Hood: Outlaws & Legends tries too hard to mesh different game types into one unified multiplayer experience, and its lofty ambitions get buried under clashing elements. What could have been an exciting co-op title ended up a frustrating slog, and in a heist — whether it’s a movie or a game — if the main caper ain’t good, the rest doesn’t matter.

    Hood: Outlaws & Legends is a unique multiplayer game with a nice dark atmosphere. While the game can be very exciting and tactical through the use of stealth, players are not motivated enough to use it. As a result, chaotic brawls predominate. In addition, the lack of more modes, maps and characters means that the game doesn't feel finished yet.

    There is a roadmap in place for future content, including new maps, weapons, and more, which bodes well, and the game is also budget-friendly at its $29.99 price point. Throw in some solid visuals and a truly fun and satisfying gameplay loop and you've got yourself a one-of-a-kind Robin Hood-themed adventure that will have you coming back for more. That said, it could be even better, and it will be interesting to check in a year from now and see how far it's come.
