    Haven't had this much fun in a multiplayer in a long time. It's really solid, but can take a little time to unpack the tactical/strategic depth -- stick it around, it's worth the investment. A lot of the bad reviews were expecting a run/gun game, not a stealth team-based heist with consequences for losing map control, failing to time the final push, and punishing failure to use stealth.Haven't had this much fun in a multiplayer in a long time.

In fairness there are a few rough patches, like match making, but the game play itself is tight. Full endorsement -- ignore the bad press, don't sleep on this title.… Expand

    Totally addictive game, once you understand the different characters and their abilities. No server issues which is amazing, after repeated disasters cough Cyberpunk, Anthem etc. If you have a good team jump in and enjoy the mayhem. Cross play is available for all platforms as well.

    All that being said.... Matchmaking needs to be improved and would be nice to see overall character statistics for your game play added in the dlc... like you would see in COD or other games. Only other slight bone to pick, is an ability to keep team together if you stumble across a good random group.    … Expand

    This is the first game I’ve left a review for. The foundation is fantastic. There’s a lot of people who complain about balancing or stealth not mattering.

There’s a lot of people who complain about balancing or stealth not mattering. The truth is, if you play the game as intended and use stealth, you’ll absolutely steamroll teams that don’t. Stealth is absolutely crucial when playing at a higher level. Balancing is better than people think, and the skill cap is satisfying. My only gripe is some overlap between Marianne and Robin for ranged, but it’s a crucial feature of Marianne’s kit that counters Jon, so it’s not a big deal. Essentially, you’ve gotta get good about playing strategically. Content is a little light currently, but the bones of the game are strong. If the community stays steady and engaged, I believe this has the capability to become a genre defining classic. Definitely worth $30, and extremely fun. Can’t wait for the new character and game mode rollouts!… Expand

    It can be a little clunky and maybe some mechanics changed but overall I love it!! It’s very satisfying whenever you get an assassination very good!

    When you get a team together this game is fire! Really enjoy the way each character plays so different from each other. As far as the matches go each one feels different. A really enjoyable game!

    I'd not come accross Sumo before, so came into this one with low expectations and, for the price, I think that was right. However, my god have these guys kicked this out of the park...it looks beautiful, the gameplay is so addictive. 've not played anything quite like this before. Bravo Sumo, I can't wait to see where you take this

    Good game. Matchmaking is one of the worst I have ever seen should be fixed asap and some characters are a bit more powerful. Maps are nice, gameplay is a bit clunky but for the price it's good and enjoyable game.

    Amazing game! Can’t wait for the DLC in year 1. Couldn’t put the game down all weekend. Once you get a grasp of the game’s mechanics and character specialties, it gets even better. Give it a chance past the first few multiplayer games and you’ll be hooked. Even better if you have a regular squad to play with.

    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.
