    I really like Outriders and I think it's great to see a game like this launch. It's very rare these days but companies try something new.

It's very rare these days but companies try something new. Normally games tend to play it safe and give us the same thing we have seen before just with a new coat of paint. Outriders has a great story that keeps you interested. The amount of different weapons and gear you can find on your travels. You get the choice of different classes and each class has different builds. The game even promotes trying out unique builds. You can create multiple characters and replay the game in different ways. I believe the devs will also continue to expand on this universe and I really hope they do as there is unlimited possibilities in the world. 1 thing I would criticize is that I wish there would be some puzzles or something to give you a break from shooting. I just feel like I'm running and shooting all the time. Don't get me wrong the combat is great but even the nicest foods can get dull. Keep up the awesome work.… Expand

    Pros
    1. Main campaign is lengthy and engaging 2. Fast paced responsive combat 3. Feeling of accomplishment as you build up your 'puny' human character into a powerhouse with God like powers 4. Enjoyable for both, solo players and teams 5. World tier system is a nice touch Cons 1. Combat gets repetitive after sometime 2. Endgame is quite grindy 3.

    One of my favourite TPP shooter. So underrated, this One have really excellent story, good shooting mechanic and awesome looting system. Shame it didnt got better reviews, because I would love to see sequel one day. I will definitely play this game in comming years, already finished this on XSX from XGP, now I bought a copyright on PS5 to support devs and to play this again.

    Very Underrated game. The update really helped with the loading times on ps5. Super fast. Coop has no lag for me, we bought it as a group and we have fun playing it. The different landscape and levels look fantastic. Yes it missed chat and there are invisible walls. But for $20 its a enjoyable game. To counter I give it a 10 but a 8.5 is more fair.

    El juego está bueno hasta eso, lo único que no me gustó fue los mapas se sentían muy lineales pero algo que me encantó fueron los efectos del anormal como la esfera que crea un espacio tiempo, otro detalle es que sentí la dificultad bastante sencilla, o sea si están duros de matar pero no me matan

    Most reviews will compare this game to Destiny and The Division. I didn’t find that at all. The game feels like a marriage between Gears of War and Diablo.

    High risk, more reward.
    Each class has a huge skill tree which is then complimented by what mods you want to imbue your guns and armour with. It’s then gets crazier with higher level gear, as each piece will come with an ability not fixed to a specific class. So you could be using the Trickster class and have a helm that provides shields for making kills with your blade but then the level 2 and 3 mods could emit an earthquake aura and high damage discharge that activates when your shield depletes. And that’s just one piece of armour...

    I never had any issues with the severs on PS5.
    I’d highly recommend this game.
    The only downside for me, is that it doesn’t look next gen but it plays like nothing else out there right now.

    Let me start this off saying that this is a game that you will have to play for at least 10 hours, understand all game mechanics such as weapon crafting, play the game the way it is meant to be played, and put up with LOTS of bugs to truly enjoy the experience. This will likely scare off people because of how long it may take, but I really enjoyed the ending, how each storyline is endedLet me start this off saying that this is a game that you will have to play for at least 10 hours, understand all game mechanics such as weapon crafting, play the game the way it is meant to be played, and put up with LOTS of bugs to truly enjoy the experience. This will likely scare off people because of how long it may take, but I really enjoyed the ending, how each storyline is ended off, the endgame, and the gameplay. This game allows you to feel like a badass mowing down enemies, building your power, and saving humanity. This all culminates in a great game that I personally really enjoyed, unlike other looters such as destiny each class is a completely different experience that needs to be played at least once to truly get everything out of Outriders. Many of the glaring game breaking bugs such as the login issue have been patched for the most part but this game is still very rough around the edges. The AI is a bit stupid, but that's not really the point as the game still manages to be hard without too many bullet sponge enemies, and the main story doesn't ever really have a solid villain but more temporary ones that prevent you from reaching your goal. I recommend this to any action fans and believe that it is a game worth experiencing.… Expand

    This was nice linear shooter, but the problems with sign in were not good. The sci-fi story was fun, shooting was very good, enemies were versatile (I liked the monsters).
    Looting mechanics were also nice. I played mainly as Trickster.

    Theres some potential here
    I love outriders, but there are definitely some things that stop me from loving it as much as I could.

    I love outriders, but there are definitely some things that stop me from loving it as much as I could.
    This is a 3rd person cover based shoote that can be played both solo and online with up to 3 players.
    I stuck to this games campaign solo and it took me about 14 hours to get through.. The game starts with you creating your own charcter, and the story here.. well it might as well not even exist.. I couldn’t tell you anything, I couldn’t even tell you how the game ends if I wanted to, basically a storm happens, youre frozen, youre unfrozen 20 years late futurama style, and you come out and wanna shoot stuff.
    The gameplay here is super fun and addictive.. most of the time.. thing gears of war meets mass effect meets the division.. obviously outriders feels nowhere near as polished and detailed as those games.. but for a first attempt in a series, this is a really good one… Something unique here that has promise but major issues is the tier system.. instead of choosing a difficulty, the game gets harder as you progress, everyone starts at story difficuolty, then you unlock easy, normal, hard, expert, and so on… however once you get to a tier you find too challenging aka too annoying youre free to drop back to any previously unlocked tier that youd like… and this is what I did on m way to tier 6, I dropped back to normal.. and why you might ask? I loved the challenge tier 5 was giving me.. however outriders is desined as a games of service game and for that reason, the checkpoints throughout the campaign are awful.. ontop of that there are insane random difficulty spikes… youll go from having an nice challenge to waves of enemies that have you wanting to bang your head against the wall, oyull get so close to the end, or completete the first wave and lose to some scrub and have to start all the way back at the beginning of wave 1 instead of the wave your died on.. enough to again make you want to drop down to normal difficulty.. however… even in normal these random spikes occur, theres even one enemy called the shaman warlord that is so unbalanced and overpowered that I had to drop down to story difficulty…
    Im sure I could have eventually beat them on normal, but story took 3 minutes, normal would’ve taken like an hour. It just wasn’t worth the effort,,, balancing in general I outriders biggest problem.. from random enemies feeling overpowered to random difficulty spikes and awful checkpoint system… so the gameplay can go from great to frustrating, the story is trash, why is outriders so good?
    Well that comes in the form of its looter hook… at the beginning of the game you choose one of 3 classes, and its so addictive to find weapons through this game and try to tailor them to your specific playstyle.. overcome these sometimes annoying challenges with a feeling god like power… as as you level up, youll choose 3 abilities to have at yoru disposal during combat… there is post game content though.. and plenty… the story mode is essentially you getting your character ready for the online bits.. even though of course you can play through the story with friends… but after the game is where leveling up your tier really starts to matter, this is where youll be challenging yourself to unlock new areas and collect all of these fallen pods…I however personally found the actual world of outriders to be pretty lack luster and uninteresting.. so naturally I have no interest in going off and grinding.. though I do believe the mechanics are fun enough here for plenty who would based on that alone…
    Outriders again has potential as a series.. would I play outriders 2? Yes…
    s again I loved the gameplay hook and Id love a sequal that balances everything out better.
    Am I clamoring for outriders 2? No.
    Again the story and world are lacking, and im not quite sure how the team over at people can fly can fix it.

    Gears of Borderlands! look this game is not for everyone, but if you like loot grinding with super tight game play then this game is in your wheelhouse. the story is fine nothing crazy but I find myself liking the little interactions and the game's general "don't give a f**k" narrative.

    Wasn't sure what to expect but if you enjoy third person shooters, definitely worth it. Very enjoyable and so far a very stable experience (couple of small bugs but nothing game breaking, and no server drops since I started on the 03.04).

    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.
