    So far so good. The game itself is very good aside from many technical problems like being unable to login for ten minutes straight or non working cross-play. Will change score to 9 when devs fix these.
    Just don't play Outriders like gears of war. You'll get bored too quickly. Instead turn on "auto world tier" and pay attention to your gear, mods and skills combos.

    Il est clair que les serveurs sont instable à l’heure actuelle et cela gâche l’expérience de jeux pour le multi en particulier. Au-delà de ça, et lorsque les problèmes de réseaux seront réglés, outriders et un excellent jeu. Il a tout ce qu’on souhaite pour ce style de jeux ! Vraiment une bonne surprise pour ma part.

    The story and characters aren't the best but it's fun. It's just fun. That's all I can say.

    The people responsible for "Outriders" have come up with a good and interesting title for the console and PC.

    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

    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

    Even though I didn't enjoy the demo at all, I bought this game. Mainly since two of my friends bought it.
    Up to level 12 or so, the game didn't change my initial impression, however after that this game really became quite good.
    Comparing to destiny the RP elements are more nuansed, mods etc keep loot fresh and enables you to fit them to your build if you have the required mods/mats.    Even though I didn't enjoy the demo at all, I bought this game. Mainly since two of my friends bought it.

    Boss fights are also more interesting with some bosses having distinct phases. Something I didn't see coming.

    All in all, it's a fun looter shooter that borrows heavily from all other looters out there, and it's doing a great job taking the right stuff from each franchise.    … Expand

    So far I've had fun playing this game the graphics is good the gameplay is fast along with the gunfights with an interesting story on there but the only complaint I have with the game is that their servers keeps crashing which has to a certain extent ruin the experience a little for me but I do plan on playing it again but only until their servers are fixed

    Best game I've played in a long time. Pacing is great -- you never really want to put the controller down. Unless you plan on being a completionist and finishing all of the post-game, there's no point in playing beyond World Level 3 or 4. It doesn't matter, though, because enemies scale to you. Story was interesting and I hope they make a sequel. Froze and crashed a lot on Xbox One X, butBest game I've played in a long time.

    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.
    Great voice acting and interesting characters and story.    … Expand

    This game is actually amazing, I’ll leave it up to others that want to play to explore the world and collect loot, but you will all love this game if you enjoy games like Destiny and Gears of Wars.

    Outriders hasn't done much to innovate the looter-shooter genre but they've taken elements from the other major games in this space (BL3, Division Series, Destiny Series, Gears of War Series and even Diablo) to piece them all together very well. I've played all of these in the hundreds to thousands of hours and Outriders has done a great job, taking the things they do well and implementOutriders hasn't done much to innovate the looter-shooter genre but they've taken elements from the other major games in this space (BL3, Division Series, Destiny Series, Gears of War Series and even Diablo) to piece them all together very well. I've played all of these in the hundreds to thousands of hours and Outriders has done a great job, taking the things they do well and implement them into a working package. You can level up your gear and the rarity of your gear. As well as changing the skills your guns and gear have on them from your library of mods you gain from dismantling gear you earn from playing.

    The game has it's issues. Outside of the server issues I've been scoped in a sniper rifle and lost all control of the game and then it hard crashed my XSX in the middle of the battle. People Can Fly are tracking issues online and seem to be willing to continue to support the game going forward. Overall, can't give the game a perfect score as it's not just the server issues this game has. Many are reporting other hard crashes still frequently occurring.

    Loot overall seems generic as most other games of this type early on but once I hit Level 15 I started to see some more interesting gear pieces. From guns with skins on them to much more interesting gear set pieces. The skills they contained as well were much more interesting. It's actually quite fun to create a build with the skill trees which do allow you to reset them for free at any time. The nice part of all of the loot is leveling/modding it/upping the rarity is all fairly easy to do even when you first start the game.

    Other games of this type seem to want to make the players grind endlessly for any minor change. Resources are intentionally difficult to acquire for the purpose of making the grind last longer. Outriders you can change gear and weapons up in your first couple of levels. It does require more as you level up but still nothing I've seen is close to the resources others in this genre make you grind for.

    Overall, I get it if you don't like the plain story and generic space world but for those who enjoy the games I mentioned above, this is another great addition to the looter shooter genre. I hope People Can Fly is able to keep supporting the game and hope to see some DLC in the future if that's possible. Considering it's accessible on Gamepass, this is the best way to try it without spending much and make a judgement for yourself. As someone who plays these types though, I'll be playing through all the expeditions and hope to see more from Outriders in the future.    … 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.

    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.
