    Boring, clunky and repetitive. Certainly not one for people who enjoy any thinking or tactics.
    Just another cover shooter looter.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lousiest game ever! It appears to be able to play solo, however, it will force you to reduce down your world tier in order for you to progress the story solo...you can’t do it alone with the lousy gear it dropped or farm without dropping the world tier! In short, it force you to co-op but the server is not working well!! There is a lot of bug like trickster teleport skill always failed even the boss is shooting at you and you wanna teleport, you will failed to teleport and let the boss to kill you! Really disappointed on this game whereby l able to play solo at first and very enjoyable but till world tier 6 it already became very very difficult with the lousy drop of gear available! Expand

This is "Anthem" bad. First off...if you are lucky enough to acutally get into the game...the games graphics are bad....just bad. Starting from the "Blue planet" login screen...which feels like some designer just phoned it, to the clucnky movements, poor cover to cover, unintuitive map screen and side quest interactions. I'm seriously dismayed as to why anyone would think that this is better than bleow average...and that's giving it more credit than it deserves. Push aside the server issues at the moment...hopefully they get resolved soon...there are way too many unecessary little scenes...like opening a door makes you wait and watch a little scene of you opening the door. You can't play more than a moments without needing to load something...which take a while. Several times my skills simply stopped working....they were charges...and you could see the little tile animation that I was trying to engage it....but nothing happens...so as a technomancer/support role...I have no skills and could contribute only some marginal firepower for the entire battle. IT's unacceptable how badly tested (if tested at all) this game was. It's simply no ready for primetime. Even if everything gets magically fixed...the story is not engaging and just meh. Feels like a poor adaptation of gears of war. Very linear. all I can say is "fool me once"...never get another People Can Fly game without it being out for a few months and tested by early adopters.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm a looter shooter fan. I enjoyed Destiny 2 a bit, Division was pretty ok, and I'm getting into Borderlands 2. That said, Outriders is not great. The graphics range from serviceable, to absolutely laughable, the grass looks like **** the character models aren't good, but the effects look great, especially the fire. I can excuse graphics if the gameplay is good. It's the worst part. The prologue is horrendous, it starts with you just walking! WALKING?! After a few cutscenes we're put into a tutorial, the first thing we're told is to take cover. Most people will tell you "Do not play it like a cover-shooter, it's for the enemies, the BRAINDEAD enemies". After killing a few idiots. We can run. yay. So after continuing the story, we're put into a tutorial that "emphasizes" the importance of rolling. They give us an enemy that does no damage at all... I should mention the game at this point is laughably easy, it does get harder later on, but that does not excuse the laziness of this tutorial, and the entire prologue at that point. So we kill the animal and move on. Then we reach the first combat encounter. Now, I need to mention this. It takes over a minute for the enemies to kill you standing out in the open... What the **** In the later world tiers cover is gonna be important because you'll be taking excessive damage, AND THE GAME ALLOWS YOU TO STAND OUT IN THE OPEN WITH YOUR DICK FLYING AROUND. My god, what were they thinking here? Now the A.I... No one at People Can Fly took a single lesson from Halo, or any other shooters with good A.I? Because the enemies don't behave in any interesting way. They just stand out in the open begging for you to end them, that's understandable. Let's jump from the prologue to the point where you're impaled with a spear and are allowed to pick a class. I chose devastator for anyone asking. The abilities are really cool, I've seen other classes with their own cool abilities. There's great stuff here, Gravity Slam is probably my favorite, as it serves for being a quick escape, and allows you to go to another section of the fight in an instant. My praise ends here unfortunately. The quests are same **** different area. Clear it out, turn it in. No interesting set pieces, or any fun combat encounters. Because when you progress world tiers, enemies deal more damage, and become bullet sponges. However, the A.I is still just as bad as in Tier 1. So not much has changed, has it? No. I won't touch on the story or the characters. I simply don't really care about it that much. Like it or hate it, good for you. Love this game? I'm happy for you. I can't stop you from enjoying something. But I personally do not like this game. Square Enix, please publish something that isn't a looter. First it was Avengers. Now this. Hey, Outriders is not nearly as bad as that game. So it's a step in the right direction nonetheless. Expand

    Multiple issues with this game. First, the graphics for a PS5 game are pretty subpar, difficulty is a mixed bag and the World Tier system is a pain.

This completely kills any sort of immersion I had in the game. World Tier 6 seemed like a good balance for the majority of the game that I played. Finally, the cover system is broken or People Can Fly didn't intend for this to be a cover based game until later in more than a few seconds. Not because enemies are flanking or charging, but because they can hit through the cover, and not just a little bit either. It took me until about half way through the campaign before I realized that I did not particularly enjoy my time with the game. Expand

    It's boring, it's bland, Story is ungodly flat, The fact that the guns have absolutely zero difference outside of "bigger numbers" The guns sound and feel awful. Unique weapons get replaced by the bland and boring within 30min-and hour unless you want to grind for an extra 6hours to make it worth while for extra 30min of play. the game is stale and such a waste of talent.

    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.

    The company even nerfed the game even though there is zero PVP which makes no sense & the Pod game timing missions to get loot is a massive looser.

    One day maybe a developer will get it right for a true decent looter shooter, sadly this one is a letdown yet again in the genre!

They seem to have cleverly hidden the end game content behind behind a long grindy path so I imagine many players would simply get bored before they even get that far. Story is meh and character acting comical at times. I think they have the demo and the free x games pass to ensure they get fan boys supporting it to counter any negative views. For me it is not worth the asking price. It they are giving it free to x games pass then they may as well sell it at half the asking price. I may consider revisitng this when I see player views on the end game content and if I see they have improved the demo issues I had with it including the almost non existant match making. Expand

If you are looking for diverse enemies, captivating gunplay, and abilities, well this isn't it. If you are looking for stability and fun. This. Is. Not. It.

    If you are looking for bullet sponge enemies that rival the division, this is for you. If you are looking for the same enemies, just reskinned, this is for you. If you are looking to throw feathers at your enemies while they hurl bricks at you with a precision that has the U.S. military looking into what training they received, this is for you. If you are looking for bland "powers", recycled guns, garbage scaling, and a metric ton of game-breaking glitches and server instability inspired by great games of the past like Anthem then this is the game for you!

    Outriders 100% anthemed itself. The story, if you could call it that, is underwhelming with characters as forgettable as everything they taught me in school. No one has any weight. When people die it's like "yeah ok who are you again?". The graphics are ok but nothing really special. The world is 90% the same everywhere you go with nothing really visually enthralling. A whole lot of nothing everywhere you look. The humor and edgy dark lines delivered throughout this sham had me rolling my eyes and pleading with whoever I was actually able to play with to just skip this cut scene. Sound is inconsistent and cuts out quite frequently along with the guaranteed inevitable "lost connection" screen you will see.

    Enemies that should be a threat early on aren't and when you get to late game (where you should be feeling a challenge but also powerful), you are often getting your head introduced to your butt. No, you're not really all that powerful, actually, you're as threatening to the enemy endgame scaling as butter is to a hot knife, you're the butter. You need to rely on RNGesus and pray for god rolls on any and everything you're using otherwise it's one or two hits and you are dead.

    There is cover in this game, but don't go thinking it's for you, it's for the enemy. The cover that is not for you, lets them shoot you aggressively and kill you aggressively. Now not only do they absolutely abuse cover, enough to warrant an investigation, but it appears that they were raised by the cover and have a special bond with it. You as the invader have threatened their cover so they seek to protect it from you by sniping or grenading the enjoyment out of you and whoever else thinks they have a snowball's chance in hell of hiding behind that particular object. It should be noted that they have also been blessed with the ability to reverse uno any damage you deal upon them. Some would say this is due to poor servers or your poor connection, but honestly who cares if you have a 250mbs connection, it's your fault anyway.

    Let's talk a little about healing. There are no health packs, and while there are some okay-ish skills to help you heal the main emphasis on doing so is to "PlAy AgReSsIvLy". Yeah, go run-in with your nerf guns blazing if you want a quick death reset. By doing damage with a certain skill or shooting you "heal"... A very small amount, somewhat quickly, maybe... If the game feels like it. Healing is so pathetically slow that at the later tiers you can be ganked to death in less than a second. Literally stonewalled in place by a mob of copy/paste enemies on PCP who know where you are at all times and very much wish to unalive you and anyone trying to help you. Don't worry though as there is some light at the end of this tunnel, the super-diverse elite enemies almost always pick out one person on the team and ignore the others, so there's that.

    Once you beat the game that's it. You can redo some missions over or do horde mode expeditions that you need to complete in 14 min or less for actual good gear. Lol, good luck with that.

    Games nowadays are made half-hearted and rushed to be a quick money grab despite being a broken trainwreck with gameplay as appealing as lighting myself on fire and Outriders is no exception to this. Don't worry they sold it as the second coming of cyberpunk, and you, like me, were so thirsty for something to quench your desire for a good looter shooter that you looked for anything promising a good time. This game is a joke that no one is laughing at. Shame on them for releasing this broken mess of false promises, shame on me for being desperate enough to buy it. Rent it or borrow it from a mate if you can, not worth its weight in the fools gold it was painted with.

    A cheap version of the division 2 and destiny 2, without the open exploration or character progression depth of modern games. The gun play in mass effect Andromeda is better and that is more of a action RPG than a loot and shoot. It had potential if they just made the levels open and allowed exploration. The way it is now is like playing a PS3 era game.

    A generic game, it is a mixture of things that worked in other games, but used in a sloppy way in Outriders. A cover system taken directly from Gears of War, but without the intuition adopted by its predecessor, its loot mechanics are similar to Destiny's, only unfinished! It is a great addition to the Game Pass, but it does not pay off the investment in other platforms!

    Overtooled, underthought, poorly made gameplay. Not one class feels fun to play with; there is too much nonsense on screen, everything is shrunk down to barely able to see (seriously, I can't even see the targeting reticle, and I have 20/20 vision), and every fight is the same thing.

    Find cover, take out a wave, run to the next cover, do it again. Health is a joke; guns are a joke,

    Find cover, take out a wave, run to the next cover, do it again. Health is a joke; guns are a joke, class abilities are a joke, even the story is a joke.

    I'm supposed to believe humanity killed earth, went to another planet to start over with half a million humans, and within 30 years just decided to kill each other. What am I supposed to be doing here? There's what, maybe 2-3 million humans now, and they're killing each other, and I'm killing them. What am I fighting for? What's the point?

    The player character is a doofus, with awful one-liners. He's "altered" and immortal, which means he's basically a guardian knockoff.

    The game is really excited to use the "F" word (shared this way, so I don't get flagged or something).

    Class abilities are poor and unfun, gunplay has no impact, and every enemy is a bullet sponge. I think people are desperate for something to do. Don't waste your money on this. It's even ugly to look at. Just drab disparate brown areas that are poorly lit.

    There are better games to play, don't waste your time with this.

    * After spending about 10 hours with this, I feel comfortable suggesting you don't waste your time with this. The plot is miserable; combat never feels good, I mean at all. Every battle consists of enemies lobbing grenades at your location, dropping grenades when they are defeated, and WAY too many enemies to deal with every time. It's not a "Challenge" to swam the player with 20-30 mobs at once and then in waves.

    I am honestly confused by the people enjoying this. I have to assume most people playing this are Destiny 2/The Division/Warframe players. How can you find any enjoyment with this game when it's inferior to every one of those I just mentioned in terms of gameplay.

    Thie game might be the most overhyped title of the year so far.

    It is honestly kinda hard to believe many of the people that did the original Gears of war made this game. If you were to just go play the original Gears right now. Which I have done to test. It feels better, and looks almost as good lol.

    Overall the game just feels rushed and unfinished and poorly balanced at almost every lvl. Playing through the game with max world tier enabled is simply frustrating and insanely hard much of the time. But if you choose to just exploit the unbalanced abilities in the game. It won't matter at all. And they game will still be easy, but insanely unfun.

    One of my tests of a GREAT game, is one that when the game gets harder, it actually manages to become more fun, because you start to utilize all the game mechanics in the ways they were meant to be. For example, playing old God of War games on low difficulty, a player could never touch counter mechanic and beat the game. But if you want to beat the game on the two hardest mechanics you have to learn to counter every enemies moves. Fun, rewarding, deeper game play with increased difficulty.

    Comparing Outriders to that. We find that harder difficulty in Outriders, you simply abuse the bad AI, lure one, two, or three of the strongest enemies away. Use broken unbalanced abilities like Gravity run to become invulnerable while you wait out the timer on you bullet shield abilities. And just rise and repeat until the enemies with ungodly amounts of health are dead. You use 2 or 3 moves. You do nothing fun or active. And it takes 15min or so because the enemies are literally of a bullet sponge nature so disgusting I would have to reclassify the enemies as bullet black holes. In short UNBALANCED. And seemingly UNTESTED.

    For an example I timed how long it takes to beat the last boss with a pretty decent lvl 30 character, and it is around 45min. And this gets worse if you didn't spec your character to fight that boss specifically. And what do you do for 45min? The same exact thing OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER. It is so mind numbingly stupid it is hard to believe anyone wrote off on this game.

    I could of on and on on why this game is worth at most $20. But just believe the bad reviews on this one. It isn't ready, it isn't balanced or tested. It isn't good at all. I honestly thing it probably can't be fixed either, as the core is just boring.

    Conclusion: STAY AWAY

    After waiting for the game to be patched I was excited to try it out again. However bugs make the game unplayable. It takes me 8 tries to log in, 5 more attempts to find a lobby I can join which is then so laggy it is unplayable. Everytime I get disconnected the whole game crashes. It is absolutely unplayable. It is a very disappointing mess. Games should not be released like that. Whoever thought the game was ready for the market should reconsider their job.

    To deal with the elephant in the room,Yes the servers are a mess at the moment but the devs have constantly been working to repair them and have communicated a lot with the community so that wont be factored into the review because EVERY SINGLE online game has this problem even years after being out.

    Gameplay - The combat is some of the most fun ive ever had in a video game.It starts off super slow because you dont have a build,but once you actually hit end game and can put together a build..the game really opens up. The game doesnt even want you to use cover because of the health gain system.The reviews that state that are because they are trash at the game..Nothing more satisfying then mowing down 200 guys within 30 seconds in a flaming pile of bloody mess.

    Story - It was actually pretty good for what it was.It had some twists and turns,and really felt like what you were doing was making a difference.Then of course the huge plot twist at the end is just fantastic.Sure the characters can seem a bit meh,but i loved every single character in the game.

    The voice acting is decent,the music is pretty stellar,and the guns feel really good to use.

    End game is where you actually get to play.The expeditions are a blast but i wish they were longer and more open.The gearing system is really good,and the variety of enemies is top nothc (unlike other games like this i.e Destiny,The Division)

    Overall dont listen to the bad reviews..they are a bunch of man children upset that the game had day 1 issues with servers (someone never played diablo 3 or destiny or the division or any online game ever made)

    We didn’t exactly see anything new in Outriders, to be honest. The game delivers a fair amount of content in terms of levels, weapons, or skills. However, from the gameplay point of view, it’s nothing more than meeting aliens, zombies and insurgents in paintball arenas for 15 straight hours, plus the expeditions.

    In two highly competitive genres, this crossbreed may go unnoticed, but its difficulty system should be taken into account. It’s advisable to embark on the campaign of this shooting RPG since Outriders offers tons of hours of fun, invites players to play with friends, and has appealing visuals. Fans of both RPGs and shooters can get a lot out of it, but they shouldn’t expect a revolutionary game, for it is a mixed bag of interesting features and cliches. Even though the journey is enjoyable, Outriders is neither a strong contender in the RPG elite nor in the shooting universe.

    Outriders is not a perfect game by any means. Its narrative, while containing some fun characters, feels somewhat underdeveloped. The conflict between the intended aggressive style of play and the omnipresent walls for cover lead to a strange kind of dissonance where the level design feels at odds with the most fun way of playing the game. The server issues are ongoing and can occasionally make the game inaccessible. The endgame is a lot of fun, but only if you’re playing in a group. When the experience is working well, it is a ton of fun shooting your way through hordes of enemies and marvelling at the latest rare gear. However, while the flaws do not ruin the experience, they are notable.
