    Outriders Worldslayer is a considerable upgrade from the original release. The introduction of a new tier, tree, and a more balanced gameplay design helps to make the case for more content down the road. It certainly feels like it’s on the right path to perfection, but still struggling in some minor areas.

    Outriders Wordslayer is definitely the expansion that fans of Square Enix's Looter-Shooter have been waiting for. Without ever revolutionizing either the game or the genre, this DLC is extremely generous in content and offers enough new features to encourage players to return to the planet Enoch. People Can Fly refines its title in its own way and spices up a desired nervous and gratifying adventure.

    Outriders: Worldslayer delivers on its promises without giving the player an extraordinary experience to remember. In addition to a new skill tree as well as expanded gear mods, you can further customize your character to face new challenges. The story is told in a better way than the base game, but the endgame feels more like a stepping stone for progress than a final shot at the narrative.

    Outriders is a game that launched with an array of bugs, glitches, and crashes during its initial launch. It’s probably the best time to jump in and play Outriders right now, especially after the free New Horizons update along with this massive Worldslayer DLC. The new expansion comes at a steep price point, but shines with its polished endgame content and loot pool. Sure, it can get repetitive, grindy, and tedious, but that shouldn’t be a problem if you’re into this type of game. Just make sure you have two buddies who are down to play with you because playing solo just isn’t that fun.

    Outriders Worldslayer is a decent expansion to a game that was flawed upon its release. Loot is plentiful, and playing with friends over comms can be a blast. The repetitive gameplay loop and breakneck pacing leave much to be desired, especially when playing solo. Worldslayer won’t convert anybody who wasn’t already on board with Outriders to the cause, as it shares many problems with its predecessor. Still, Worldslayer will give fans of the base game reason to return to Enoch’s world.

    If you truly enjoyed the original Outriders, you'll probably have some more fun with Worldslayer expansion pack, although most of the shortcomings of the original game are still there.

    Outriders Worldslayer is an expansion in word only. It provides players with some new options for builds and a few fun loot, but its 3-hour story and overall really small amount of content make it look like an incremental free update that tries to scam its players by paying full price for it.

In terms of gameplay, you get new and interesting skills in the expansion, which makes the gameplay more pleasant. Graphically and sound-wise, you also get a good title. If you want to dive into the world of "Outriders" again, you should buy the expansion "Worldslayer". Expand

    This "expansion" is very, very light on content - it's the sort of thing that you'd normally expect for free in other games as a bonus betweenThis "expansion" is very, very light on content - it's the sort of thing that you'd normally expect for free in other games as a bonus between seasons or real updates.

    The campaign will be over with in an evening no matter what your skill level. It's not particularly interesting and ends startlingly abruptly as if they ran out of time and just shipped what they had.

    The new "end game" beyond these few story missions is a single, static dungeon (with a very awkward-sounding name) with a super-glitchy end boss. While the new mods are interesting and the knock-on build variety boost is definitely well crafted, the offering as a whole lacks any real reason to engage whatsoever when there's literally nothing to do with your new gear and builds than repeat this dungeon over and over to make the numbers go up. It's tragic. In an attempt to disguise this fact, they're made the level grind (Apocalypse tiers) incredibly, painfully slooooooooow, but it won't deceive most.

    The previews I read and watched back in April were puff pieces, there's just not anything here worth close to the asking price. If you loved the base game buy it on deep discount and enjoy your weekend with it.

Getting to higherAs many have pointed out, the DLC is light on content for the price. Also the grind takes much of the fun out of it. Getting to higher levels and better loot is tedious. Any reasonably paced progression requires co-op, but the co-op is already dead. Nobody playing. Hope the devs take note and fix, because it is a fun game. Expand
