If I paid retail at $60-$80USD I would feel like I made a bad choice. Playing on Xbox One S the game feels very Beta. Collision mechanics are wonky, aiming down sites is overly floaty, movement feels numb and the gunplay is lacking in any real punch. Feels like they were aiming for a Gears of War clone in many ways but it's not nearly as polished or complete. Divinity 2 gets my heart rate thumping during firefights... Division 2 feels slick, immersive and ultra realistic... RedDead 2 draws me in to the story and the graphics would make Ansel Adams hang up his photography career and sell shoes instead... this title does none of that. The loot/gear systems feels eerily like Anthem... (most disappointing game ever... so far) which is particularly disturbing. Really not a good sign at first blush. They say they're patching and updating blah blah blah but Anthem's dev's said that for a year before we finally got the "yeah, just kidding. We're abandoning this project" announcement... Outriders has some good foundations and there's potential here... but it feels like yet another instance of the Dev's trying hard to meet a release date and bypassing a whole lot of Quality Assurance testing to hit that date just to satisfy the investors. I get it... but it leaves the end user feeling like they were sold a Porsche and got a Yugo. Expand

    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

When it does function, the game is bug ridden and tedious at best while the endgame is pure repetition. The solution? Well, instead of adding content or fixing bugs ("supposedly" will happen in later patches) the devs decided to nerf classes and limit game styles.

    This game is a total failure-buy at your own risk.

    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).

    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.

    If you want a loot and shooter get remnant from the ashes or The Division 2 or even one of the borderlands instead of this garbage. Almost every other game in this genre is better than this.

    EDIT: unfortuately, one week into the "not live" game, the devs started nerfing and removing the alreeady scarce chance of loot, punishing honest players 'cause of a bunch of no-life streamers and cheaters.
    Once more, a good promise turned sour 'cause people were having too much fun.

    It is a very fun game if you can look past all the problems it had when released. Has a fun story and engaging gameplay, but it doesn't give the player a lot of options in the story, and is not much of a rpg.

    For me this game could have been a 9/10 but I'm going to have to give it a 6 because of specific reasons.

    For me this game could have been a 9/10 but I'm going to have to give it a 6 because of specific reasons.

    First you should know that I'm on PSN and have reached World Tier 15 and also about to complete the Challenge Trials. Throughout my whole experience in the campaign I was under the impression that raising World Tiers would improve my chances in getting legendary drops, and as well be the core area where I could keep raising my weapon levels and continue farming. I always considered the Time Trials in Challenge Tier to be more of a side thing, something you do to test your builds but not be the main area to where you farm.

    After completing the story in WT15 and also helping other friends reach WT15, meaning I put in around an extra 15 hours in the campaign while playing in WT15, I only found 1 legendary drop. The rest of the legendaries I received in the campaign were all put behind a quest wall, meaning that they are guaranteed if you follow certain side missions, like completing all the hunts, bounties, and collecting souvenirs. I thought for a minute that yes if I continue going up WT I will finally start seeing Legendary drops like in my other favorite looter games, Diablo Series and Borderlands, but that hope never came to be realized. I had 1 legendary drop after endless hours in the campaign to soon realize that when it comes to legendary items Outriders is more like Destiny than my favorite looter games. After finishing the campaign in WT15 I was able to reach CT12 in just 2 hours, but then the repetitiveness and lack of maps got boring pretty fast. It reminds me a lot of Destiny in that aspect. I want to start other classes but knowing what the end game is like, and knowing that there is no incentive in the campaign anymore I just don't feel as excited or motivated to do it. Returnal is coming out soon so now I have my sights on other games.

    I resent the players who just sped through the game in WT7 to reach Challenge trials, who just grinded hours on CT to increase their legendary drops. I stopped playing destiny because of those type of repetitive trial grinds where you can't move around the world and traverse around the environments for legendary drops. I also resent that all the time I put into World Tier farming was basically a pointless endeavor, and now it feels like I wasted my time. My biggest question is why is there a cap in World Tier when the campaign world is so much more vast, with better designed maps and more side missions. The campaign as whole is ten times more diverse than time trials (Challenge Tier).

    To me Challenge trial is a gimmick you see in live service games, but People Can Fly specifically mentioned that this is not a live service game. So what is the catch? Why don't they want to give incentive to loot hunters to appreciate their campaign and side missions and level up their World Tier? Why did they design their game with two seperate looting systems which make their campaign World Tiers irrelevant to the core mechanic for legendary hunting and gear leveling.

    I hope one day they realize that the only way to make the game complete as a whole is to raise the World Tier Cap to 20, and make the Time Trial challenges a place to test your gear, not a place to find and level your gear. If anything Outriders should give players the option to grind the campaign or challenge trials.

    Capping the World Tier to 15 and lowering the legendary drop rate to a near 0% lowers all incentive to appreciate the campaign and side missions. There is literally no reason for loot hunters to care about the campaign, which in my opinion has better map designs than Challenge trials.

    Other than this I thought the game was really good, and I love all the classes and the gameplay is fantastic. Too bad, that they didn't grasp on what makes looter games great, such as other of the greatest hits. By the time I finished games in Diablo and Borderlands I would be swimming in legendaries and experimenting endlessly with my builds. In Outriders it feels like a grind and I don't think I want to keep putting in the time to reach that level of desired experimentation. I need 2 more trophies for my platinum and after that I think I'm going to put the game in the shelf (figuratively speaking since I'm all digital)

    PS. I don't think it should be a standard for developers to release games with so many bugs and issues. This is not something we should accept. So I'm lowering my score to a 6. Still it could have been a 9/10

If you are looking for a game that takes things to the next level, this isn't it. If you are looking for the LOOTER SHOOTER of the new age, this isn't it. 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.

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.

    First off, you'll notice that many of the negative reviews are "0". Upon closer inspection, most of these mention the status of the servers in some way.

    As long as you are reading this on April 5th or later, the VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE REVIEWS NO LONGER APPLY.

    Outriders had a rough server status at launch. They fixed it promptly, and were in communication with users the entire time giving regular updates.

    Worth mentioning. Anyway-- the game:

    THE GOOD:

    * ARPG elements are top class, for a looter-shooter. Unlike Destiny where everything is reduced to a "light" level and customization is actually incredibly limited, I already find myself daydreaming about the kind of builds I might make in the future. If you're like me and love thinking of builds and creating alts-- this game is for you.

    * Weapon mods, skills, and skill trees: Once you start looting blue guns (fairly soon into the game), you'll find that guns have "Mods" which, when combined with a solid skill tree, can start working together and synergizing for the creative player almost immediately.

    * The story, the atmosphere, and the voice acting are all top-class. I can only speak to the male protagonist, but this is the first RPG where I'm not just spamming the "Skip Dialogue" option.

    * On that note, the lore is cool. It's a cool idea for a setting.

    * Skill tree resets are FREE...FOREVAAAAAA!

    THE BAD:

    * The aiming on console is VERY difficult to get used to. It really sucks. They have a weird sort of logarithmic aiming setup that you can't turn off yet. This is knocking this game down from a perfect score, and the gunplay/movement suffers greatly for it. If you're from the dev team and reading this, (first off, thank you for the awesome game!) please allow a toggle here for aiming setups.

    YOU'LL LIKE IT IF:

    1) You want Diablo in Space With Guns
    2) You like daydreaming about different builds and making alts
    3) You like solid RPG stories / lore / worldbuilding

    YOU'LL HATE IT IF:

    1) You're not into the "RPG" stuff and are looking for a game with smooth gunplay (Console only)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Creo que la mejor manera de jugarlo es en Multiplayer, pero sinceramente es imposible encontrar partida y esto parece un problema de los servidores. Esto ultimo es su mayor flaqueza, los servidores fallan mas seguido de lo que uno esperaría. Es frustrante estar en medio de una batalla y que el juego se cierre por problemas de los servidores.
    Por último, este juego es disfrutable en PS5 y Series X/S, pero la verdad no lo recomiendo en PS4 o Xbox One, ya que no se aprecia el frenetismo y la velocidad de combate real.

    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!

    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.

    The Good:
    Pretty fun Looter-Shooter-RPG TBH. It is not very inspired as it reminds games like Destiny, Gears of War, Anthem and even Lost Planet, but everything works fine here.
    The most interesting part of this game is how it let you build your character/class. Unlike Destiny, you can play the same class than a friend but have 2 completely different build, as each of the 4 classes

    The most interesting part of this game is how it let you build your character/class. Unlike Destiny, you can play the same class than a friend but have 2 completely different build, as each of the 4 classes have 3 unique trees. The game also let you modify your pieces of armor and weapon for even more possibilities, like a true good RPG.

    It runs pretty well on PS5, with a sharp image quality, smooth 60 fps and very short loadings. Visually not the most impressive game I've played, but it offer a lot of pretty environments with very different vibes.

    The Bad:
    If the story is more interesting than it looks, the cut-scenes on the other hand are globally pretty cheap.

    The Ugly:
    You can't play this game offline (even solo), and launch suffers from very annoying server issues.

    Generic, unoriginal, repetitive and boring. Pretty much sums this "game" up. The graphics certainly do not look like next/current gen, the story is all over the place and the characters are just dull. If you're really into this kind of game, there are plenty of far better ones out there. Destiny for instance, is far from perfect but it's superior to Outriders in every way.

    Hard pass judging by the mediocre demo, but maybe I'll be proven wrong on it's full release. (I highly doubt it though). It would be hard to pick something like this over the upcoming Returnal which looks great.

    Few server troubles at launch don't make this a bad game, it's a great shooter which is hiding a surprising amount of RPG depth, well worth buying for any fans of ARPGs.

    I haven't had this much fun in a long time. Despite its server issues, it's an amazing looter shooter with an awesome story that can be enjoyed with friends.Outriders has a lot of potential to be something great, let's hope they can live up to it.

    The shooting is great, campaign is long, tons of interesting side quests and a crafting/modding system that can keep you busy for many hours coming up with interesting builds. A few quality of life patches and this game could be nearly perfect.

    Playing it with my friends, we all were very hyped since the demo and are now enjoying it very much. Yes it has server problems right now but its still a very fun game with great gameplay/loot mechanics and later very stunning levels.

    What a boring game. I expected more. It has some gears elements but it fails to deliver a great experience. The graphics, mechanics and level design are so outdated for a game that is released on 2021

    Très tres nul : dépassé graphiquement, le gameplay moins bon qu'un gears 5 et l'histoire HS... sur xbox il a 3 points de plus car au moins il est "offert"
    Dire qu'il y en a qui ose parler d'un mix parfait entre destiny 2 et gears 5....

    It is a great game, but don't try to play it, you won't be able to get a server connection.
    Have been trying to play the campaign, but so far I find that when I have the Time to play, the server are down. The game could be the most perfect thing in the world, but if you cannot access it, then it just isn't worth anything.

    Proper looter shooter! If you like Division and Destiny games, you'll like this too! Love it.

    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.
