    good game, but there are problems with the servers, the gameplay has been cut down, it has become worse than in the demo version, and for this I give 8 points

    This game is absolutely incredible, anyone who says otherwise is just inpatient or yes the servers are bad but they’re getting much better in just the few days it’s been out. Give it a chance and it will blow you away.

    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.

    Conclusion: STAY AWAY    … Expand

    After waiting for the game to be patched I was excited to try it out again. However bugs make the game unplayable. It takes me 8 tries to log in, 5 more attempts to find a lobby I can join which is then so laggy it is unplayable. Everytime I get disconnected the whole game crashes. It is absolutely unplayable. It is a very disappointing mess. Games should not be released like that. Whoever thought the game was ready for the market should reconsider their job.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.
    I give Outriders

    Me gusta mucho la opción de cambiar el nivel de mundo (Dificultad), ya que reta al jugador para obtener mejores recompensas aumentando el nivel, pero e puede bajar el nivel si quieres jugar sin frustrarte por perder a cada rato.

    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.    … 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.
