    Boring and repetitive. Nothing about this game is fun. It was a chore to actually play to the end.

    It runs at 60fps, that's the best thing of this game. The other 98% of the game is an unplayable experience. Filled with bugs, with powers that are useless with the enemies. Overly repeated enemies, unncesary parry for the enemies hit you no matter if you dodge the attack. Great idea carried out poorly. Disappointed is the least I can say.

    El juego es demasiado repetitivo y las batallas contra los jefes son aburridisimas ya que son verdaderas esponjas de balas, además que solo hay solo 3 tipos de armas sin contar las armas de mano, estás serían metralletas, escopetas y francotiradores, nada más! Si no fuera por qué lo jugué con amigos, muero del aburrimiento.

    Its so sad that people review bomb games because of something beyond the developers fault.

    I actually have finished the game and have around 25 hours into the end game alone so i might be eligible to actually give a review. EDIT: the devs never listened to feedback and screwed the game up hard,and listened to the 1% of streamers...literally killed the game To deal with the elephant    Its so sad that people review bomb games because of something beyond the developers fault.

    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)    … Expand

    Not too much to say, it's a copy of desstiny but not in a good way. Plays and looks like a 2015 game. Very outdated grind concept. This should be 90% off all the time or free to play.

    i like very much bulletstorm... but i hate Outriders... what happened to people can fly... outriders is a huge pile of **** everything is wrong with this game... The gameplay is lame and repetitive as hell, the graphics are pathetics, the story is dumb, the game crash a lot... there's nothing good in it. Do not play at this, this is an insult to the gamers.

    Oh look, another unfinished game with a bunch of empty promises. Don’t buy this game. Don’t even buy it if they eventually “fix it”, and get a handful of streamers to say it’s good now. An absolute joke. The developers should be ashamed.

    Repetative gameplay, frustrating mechanics, Lots of Bugs. Story is good but gameplay just feels wanting. Every quest essentially boils down to kill a boss or kill an elite badguy in order to progress. Every quest turning into a major boss fight against the same enemy gets both frustrating and boring

    Corre a 60fps en PS5, todo los demás está mal, la historia aburrida, la jugabilidad se traba a ratos, no sirve de nada subir de nivel si siempre los enemigos estarán 5 o 7 niveles más arriba de ti y para que mejorar las armas si en el trayecto de la misión encuentro mejores.

    I waited until I finished the game to write this review.

    The good- The combat is pretty fun, and the loot system is pretty rewarding. I enjoy modding the guns and making builds for my character. The bad- Pretty much everything else.

I wouldn't recommend this game in it's current state to anyone. The story and acting is also atrocious.

    More than 1 month after release, it quits because of ,,Outriders server problem". And you cannot play NOW (when I write this, 2021.05.08!) Oh, and I play it in single player mode, alone. So I cannot get it. But never buy this crap...

    This is one of the most generic games I have ever seen , the story , character designs , levels and weapons all look like they could be in any space game and its uninteresting. Awful glued to war cover shooter mechanics mixed with bullet sponge enemies and loot you don't care about. The looters shooter genre become pretty generic but pretty much all others do it better.

    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.

    I had high hopes, for Outriders but it has failed in so many ways.
    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!    … Expand

    The last time I buy an online only game at launch. Riddled with problems. The team had good communication at first but is now saying there are no issues. I had major hopes for this game but in the end it was full of lies. I will not be tricked again with "Online Only" when it doesn't need to be.

    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.
