    hood outlaws and legends is a 4 team pvpve heist game, you choose one of 4 characters all with their unique feel and abilities and attempt to complete a heist all while competing against another team of 4 trying to do the same,
    gameplay wise this is very stealth focused, you attempt to not raise too much attention and pick of guards for your teams, claim spawn points on the map, while you or the rest of the team grabs a key from the sheriff, finds the fult room, takes the chest to the extraction point and defend your position from the enemy team.. and while on paper this sounds really fun, I was over the game after playing for only about 2 hours.. its just wasn’t all the fun for me.. sure this is a stealth game, but all of that goes out the window the minute the extraction process begins… and the combat here just isn’t fun… it feels button mashy and luck based, you never feel accomplished fighting off a group of enemies because htat rarely ever happens, its more likely youll take out one or 2 and the third will come from behind to get you… leading to a loop of respawn, reclaim spawn points for your team to be closer to the chest, and hope you can create large enough time window to be the team to finally get the extraction…
    I did have a bit of fun here and there, and you do level up each individual charcter to unlock new perks and cosmetics which I appreciate, really giving you incetive to master each class… but the gameplay just wasn’t there for me to care to do so… games feel like a bit of a mess, especially if youre playing with randoms without a mic.
    I do see potential for stealth lovers to sink their time into this game, but hood outlaws and legends just wasn’t for me.
    I give Hood Outlaws and Legends

    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.
