    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.

    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

    Мышка на пс5... Вы серьезно? На дуалсенсе и шоке ещё норм, но иксбокс... Я вам сочувствую. Честно, сочувствую без иронии. Где патчи на консоли спустя столько времени?

    интерфейс часто не описан и догайдывайся сам, так например в игре можно распылять шмотки, и получать бафы для дайльнейшей перековки. Как понять, что вы знаете этот навык? Кооп на соньке (час до коопа), тормоза когда    Мышка на пс5... Вы серьезно? На дуалсенсе и шоке ещё норм, но иксбокс... Я вам сочувствую. Честно, сочувствую без иронии. Где патчи на консоли спустя столько времени?

    интерфейс часто не описан и догайдывайся сам, так например в игре можно распылять шмотки, и получать бафы для дайльнейшей перековки. Как понять, что вы знаете этот навык?

    Кооп на соньке (час до коопа), тормоза когда Сони хост или слабый проц. Игромеханически кооп устроен по уникальным коллекционным предметам, по уникальным у каждого лутам, но с общими квестовыми предметами и целями. Вплоть до побочных разговоров. Потому не смейте без коопа поднимать квестовые вещи иначе можете запороть ачивку другу.

    Кооп система голосований, 2 против одного - доминирование. Отложить.

    Черные экраны. Пример с мостом. или пролазать сквозь горы. С интерфейсом. Интерфейс без ссд. Затухание, растухание звука. Только под пиво или если вы очень устали вам это не будет бесить.
    пропадающий звук и потом появляющийся при заходе в интерфейс

    Вначале чувствуется Пафос пипл Кен Флай. Но главный герой серая размазня, а не суровый мужик. В итоге, пафосная история не работает, потому что ей не хватает харизматического героя.

    Есть пару юморных сцен в духе студии и они смотрятся хорошо.

    В игре всё происходит очень быстро и вы входите в темп боя так, чтобы между боями было мало перерыва, а перерыв нужен то чтобы собрать секретки и ресурсы.

    Чтобы быстро обозреть локацию глазами разработчики запретили в игре прыгать. Таким образом вы как крот смотрите только вниз.

    Сама стрельба сделана в виде губок, играя троём я бывало просто всаживал по 3-4 обоймы пулемета, Карл в врага чтобы его убить. Мини боссы вообще без реакции, удобно для снайперов. У остальных голова дёргается, будто с них конфеты можно выбить

    Импакта от попадания в части тела нет. А бонус всего 20-25% критического урона (не шанса, урона). Хотя это качается и оружием и бронёй и способностями.

    кстати способности на броне, оружии и вашего класса легко перекачиваются. Что-то бесплатно, а что-то платно.

    Использовать способности весело. В игре есть совершенно разных класса и у каждого 3 специализации которые отличаются пассивками. Например я играл за и у меня был вариант играть с дробовиком и ближним боем или штурмовой винтовой и усилением патронов.

    Итоги:
    Игра не для одного игрока.

    Это не игра уровня пипл Кен Флай. Это нишевый продукт от них для коопа.
    Отсутствие прыжков, картонная физика, Подзагрузки - а значит гигантские проблемы с оптимизацией. Но тут даже трупы исчезают и нет крови и крутых отражений на земле, а анимации взяты тупо с прошлых игр. Что тут не так?
    Но что в ней хорошего: вы играли в коопные игры? Что в них главное? Треш и угар серьезного Сэма, круши и ломай и мочи? может с вызовом как ремнант?    … Expand

    It is a cool shooter, you start feeling the impact of your shoot and your abilities in its beginning, you are not overpower but kill things fast and with some challenge. Then the end game arrives. Every single enemy turns out to be bullet sponges, the bosses are just huge sponges, not a single one have a unique mechanic or something different, they are just huge sponges with 3-4 attacksIt is a cool shooter, you start feeling the impact of your shoot and your abilities in its beginning, you are not overpower but kill things fast and with some challenge. Then the end game arrives. Every single enemy turns out to be bullet sponges, the bosses are just huge sponges, not a single one have a unique mechanic or something different, they are just huge sponges with 3-4 attacks and respawning enemies in the between.
    Just be aware that the gameplay is focused on you moving all the time and using your abilities every time, playing it using cover will get you killed quite fast.
    It is that type of game with a huge amount of loot, making you spend more time than you want in the menus analyzing statuses. The menus are copied from Destiny, so you have a boring cursor making everything slow in the consoles
    The graphics does not feel like last gen, until you find the correct HDR configuration (and the game does not help you to reach it) everything is very bland.
    The story is boring and forgettable, saying more than this is saying more than the story.
    The sound of the weapons and abilities is cool, I don't recall if the game has any music in it.
    Play with a friend for good laughs, catching up and not paying much attention to the game.    … Expand

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

    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.

    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 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

    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

    This is NOT a single player/solo game. You can play that way, but there is no enemy scaling that adjusts for solo play. You'll still be fighting mobs of broken, lazily programmed AI regardless. And I played through it solo.

You'll still be fighting mobs of broken, lazily programmed AI regardless. And I played through it solo.

    Earth dead, colonize new world, superpowers. The story is barely serviceable, but its there and its decent enough. If you were expecting GoW Judgement or Bulletstorm levels of entertaining from People Can Fly, its not here.

    The shooty stuff is good, the weapons (mostly) are useful and pack an ever increasing punch. The cover mechanics are nowhere near as responsive for a studio that made a Gears game, often times your character will go zipping off at an odd angle. Sometimes hits don't register. Lots of weird little things.

    There's 2 major issues (for me) that killed this game:

    1) Lazy programming.
    - Enemy AI has 2 (and only 2) behaviors: Enemy shoots with pinpoint accuracy from 10 miles away
    - Or more often, every single enemy on screen rushes you at the same time. I mean they all want to have their gun barrels touching your cheek. It completely destroys any ebb and flow to combat.

    2) Cover mechanics and boss encounters are broken.
    - Often times all a boss has to do is swing their hand/claw at you. It doesn't matter if it actually hits you, because you'll take damage anyways. Even if you're a mile away.
    - Their special attack goes through cover, destroying the whole point of cover (we're talking stone pillars 10 feet thick). Again, destroys any ebb and flow that the combat could have had.

    Combine those two flaws together. Then imagine that literally EVERY enemy in the game can match your speed. You cannot out run them, regardless of who/what it is. Every enemy runs at the same speed. YOUR SPEED.

    You can't outrun them, they ALL want to be in your personal space, they never miss, they don't have cooldowns and they toss grenades like confetti. I can't imagine this would be fun with friends.

    PROS:
    - 4k/60 on PS5
    - Guns are diverse enough to be interesting
    - Mod system is robust enough
    - Abilities are interesting for the most part

    CONS:
    - Graphics are decidedly last gen. Its not bad. Its not great either.
    - Trash story, uninteresting characters, cringy Pandora-like aliens (who live in Pueblo style houses lol)
    - Lazy programming/enemy AI
    - Boss encounters vary wildly depending on how broken they are mechanically
    - Most of the game design is extremely generic until the last 2-3 areas
    - No scaling for solo players, be warned.
    - Level scaling is broken, being one level under an enemy can mean thousands of hit point/health points below an enemy.
    - No matchmaking for endgame activities, you can "matchmake" to join other peoples parties, but they're currently booting players at the end of a run to keep the rewards for themselves. Good job, PCF.
    - Fade out and fade in, for every interaction, every 5 seconds. WTH???
    - Boss powers (and sometimes bullets) go through walls, making cover pointless.
    - Lots of odd glitches, cover system is garbage (This studio made GoW Judgement BTW), bullets and sniper fire go through walls/cover. Lots of bugs and jank.

    I regret this purchase. Wait for a good sale (or rent on Game Pass if that's your thing), its not worth $60 in its current state. Probably never will be, it's problems are in the foundation of this game.    … Expand

    Outriders is a decent game; it's not the best looter-shoter ever made, but it is pretty competent in that sense. The graphics are OK, same for the sci-fi story, but the gameplay is amazing. The guns and skills feel tight and playing the game, alone or with friends, is a blast.

    I also appreciate the dev team for not making this a "service game". Per their own interviews, Outriders will be a game with a beginning and an end. The last thing we need is another generic Destiny clone to keep us hooked on a forever grind.

    All that being said, they SERIOUSLY need to fix the log in/connection issues. I don't remember the last time I logged in without having to restar the game (or the system) a few times. The same for the disconnection errors... it's very frustrating to finally manage to kill a particularly hard boss and get disconnected... :( I almost gave up on this game a few times because of this.

    But there is a lot of game here, and a lot of heart. Hope they keep fixing and patching it.    … Expand

Plus some truly baffling decisions about keeping the game online only have really almost ruined the experience for me personally.
    The game mimics alot of other always online live-service type games, with The Division taking the most of its base data from. Its an over-the-shoulder 3rd person shooter with RPG mechanics and based almost entirely on loot grinding. However the game also tries to sway towards the opposite end of the spectrum by forgoing the usual open world map associated with these games and opting for smaller levels with an extremely tight focus on what each part of the map is meant for at the end of the day. It doesnt really work as well as it could have, since the map is pretty bad, especially since theres no freaking compus on the mini map which still drives me insane. And each map is very similar. Once you leave the forest areas you come to the desert areas and so on.
    Gameplay is at least enjoyable for the most part. Each class is pretty fun but you're really doing yourself a disservice if you dont at least try to get your class to level 10ish as thats when alot of the fun mechanics of the game finally start to open up. Problem is, at the end of the day, there's just not alot to do here. I personally got 1 character to finish the story and the end game is just grinding the same old dungeons over and over again. There's not alot here to keep me going to grind out loot and continue with the slog that all these live service games end up becoming in the end.
    I personally like these 3rd person style shooters like this, but there's not enough here to keep me going for very long. All the issues with it being always online and the servers being down quite often for a game that very clearly could have been done offline is always baffling to me. This feels like the very definition of a B tier game to me. There's some fun to be had but alot of weird and off putting things keep it from being any higher and will keep me from continuing to play it long term.    … Expand

    Outriders is much like other games throughout history that launched early on in a console's lifespan but weren't considered system sellers. It's a fairly mediocre game that gives you something to play on your shiny new console until a killer first-party game or the next big installment in an established AAA franchise drops. It's also a game that requires you to invest some time into itOutriders is much like other games throughout history that launched early on in a console's lifespan but weren't considered system sellers. It's a fairly mediocre game that gives you something to play on your shiny new console until a killer first-party game or the next big installment in an established AAA franchise drops. It's also a game that requires you to invest some time into it before you 'get to the good part' and can actually see its appeal.

    There are a couple of hurdles that players will have to overcome before they can really extract some decent entertainment from Outriders. First, you will need to play until about level 10. This will get you access to your class skills as well as get you into the skill tree. Before that level, the game feels like a cover shooter with a gimmick...which it is, but you can't appreciate the gimmick without some time invested. It's a poor design decision and only the first of several.

    Second, you will need to "unlearn" what you know about similar games. Outriders will be accused of copying from The Division and Gears of War, but if you play this game like those other two, you will find that the game is both difficult and unrewarding. It is actually better to play aggressively, chasing enemies down, firing off your abilities, swapping out weapons, and only using cover to reload your weapons or wait out a skill cooldown. Playing conservatively as you might in the Division will only lead to frustration as enemies swarm over you.

    The game requires an online connection, I imagine primarily to keep cheaters at bay. However, there is no competitive mode, only co-op. The game offers four classes, but parties are limited to only three players, another odd choice.

    Fast travel is available, though it is very clunky. There are hub areas scattered about, and you can fast-travel to points you have previously unlocked. However, this is limited to your immediate area. For some reason, for example, you cannot travel from the field in the first zone to the third hub area, or a field in the fourth zone. You must return to the hubs, and inter-hub travel is only available there. From the hubs, you have to fast-travel AGAIN to field locations near whatever hub you are in. Maybe there is a technical reason for this but it still comes off as very odd.

    I didn't find the story compelling in the slightest. The premise is a little interesting, but then it's handled in a way that either expects you to know what's going on without any background, or be interested in the missing details enough that you want to progress the story or side missions.

    Graphics are certainly not next-gen. There's not much difference between PS5 Outriders and something from the PS3/Xbox 360 era. I was a little miffed to see so much clipping on various models, both characters and the environment. At this stage of video gaming, it just seems lazy.

    Barring all this, the game does have some interesting gameplay. Finding a good combination of skills and weapon types can be compelling, though, due to the always-online nature of the game, you can't pause mid-battle to swap out from your inventory. The game continues to be 'live' even when in the menus, so if you enter a battle with the wrong gear/skills, you will likely have to die in order to try again. The loot system is fun, allowing you to modify existing gear in a number of interesting ways, using several types of resources.

    Overall, it's not a great experience but it's not total garbage. If you are willing to invest some time, you will likely get some entertainment out of the game, at least until the next big thing comes along.    … Expand

    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.

    - OVER PRICED.
    - bugs, a lot of bugs which is unacceptable in a non-open-world, 3rd person shooter.
    - on PS5 the graphics are really... not good enough. They're nice, but come on, this was your opportunity to take advantage of the Ps5 hardware.
    - end game, it is like the developers didn't really know what the games true purpose was, where is the end game content, activities, raids, anything?

    You can never play this game. It will say signed in but the scroll will just spin away for 15 to 20 minutes before putting you in a server. You pay for a game that you can’t even play. Pathetic.

    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. I got pretty tired of having to lower the World Tier every time I encountered an enemy sniper (or 16) and just when you think you have a handle of the snipers, suddenly they can launch mortar attacks.

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

    This game is trash!

    This game is broken. I don't know where the positive reviews on this outlandishly horrible game are coming from...but this has got to be one of the worst games I've tried in a long time. This is "Anthem" bad. First off...if you are lucky enough to acutally get into the game...the games graphics are bad....just bad.

    I should have waited at least a few months for a drop in price. Not only was the release a mess with servers but the game is nothing new or exciting. Maybe it’s because I’ve been gaming for so long now that games need to have something unique and fresh for me to fall in love with them. I don’t think this is a bad game... it’s generic though and is lacking in quite a few areas.

    The story isn’t great nor believable even for Sci-Fi
    The enemies don’t have enough variety
    The guns don’t feel very unique
    There just isn’t enough content for a looter shooter... yet.

    If I could have waited for a sale I would have but I paid full price and it’s ok but not great. The Division 2 and Destiny 2 are both much better.    … Expand

    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.

    Sorry but this game is a mediocre looter shooter trying to be a mix of destiny with a bit of anthem (without the flying).

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

    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.
