    Servers down often. Gameplay is quite Ok but i dont unserstand why there is No in game communication on ps5. Warzone is a good example of that there is a possibility to do that. I spend a full price on it... How can it be coop based game without even an Opportunity to talk to each other

    Pay NO attention to the Zero reviews that still feel burned from CyberPunk and wine like a baby cause Outriders server crashed launch day. This is a good game and gets better considerably after the prologue section. By then your abilities are becoming more substantial and your firepower. Pay attention to adjusting your world tier difficulty if a section becomes instadeath/hell in a cell.Pay NO attention to the Zero reviews that still feel burned from CyberPunk and wine like a baby cause Outriders server crashed launch day.

Pay attention to adjusting your world tier difficulty if a section becomes instadeath/hell in a cell. You won’t need to until at least world tier 5. Just remember to raise it back up before you open any chests!

    Seriously, even if they don’t like the game, scoring it below a 6 is asinine.    … Expand

    I paid 60 Euros, and this game is a total mess. Generic, uninspired, and boring. Plus this game is currently very buggy and unplayable. Worst spend money...

Spiele seit der playstation 1 und muss als langjähriger gamer mit ansehen wie die Spiele immer beschissener werden und sich Spieleentwickler einfach keine Mühe mehr geben, weil es bei der heutigen Generation reicht Müll rauszubringen, da es trotzdem alle kaufen und spielen. Auch die Texte sind nur für dümmliche pupertäre Jugendliche geschrieben, so schmerzhaft das ich nach ein paar cutscenes nur noch geskipped habe. Es ist auch eine Frechheit und absolut unverständlich wie spieletester auch nur ein gutes Haar an solchen Spielen lassen und es auch noch Gut reden. So wird sich nie was ändern!… Expand

    It simply doesn’t work. I would like to give a proper review: but the servers are always down. Giving the fact I want to play solo (and I am able to do so), I expect to be able to play offline.
    0/10, unplayable

    Ce jeux a mes yeux ne mérite pas plus de 3 , car il est trop loin de ce qu'il ce fait en matière de graphisme ( énorme retard ) de gameplay , de narration etc. de nos jours . Quand tu passes apres les grosses licenses actuelles tu te dis que le cross gen parfois n'a pas que du bon ....

    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

    I actually came on my ps5 and actually felt like it was playable here. But the main problems do stay. The boring tone. The un-original band of voice actors. And the stretched out feeling of "deja vu"

    Super fun game, no microtransactions whatsoever. Not sure what people mean by "focused on lootbox" when it's a looter shooter without lootboxes, game runs perfectly on PS5. The developer listens to the fans and if they can fix the server issues (naturally you will have server issues on release day) then it'll be even better.

    Nice game, I loved the game's thematic and its story, hopefully it isn't a co-op only game. It's a very fun game, despite the fact that it needs online connection to play the singleplayer mode.

    Only a few hours in after buying the game after my mate said he really enjoyed it and not been disappointed by it apart from the server troubles but that will get sorted. Seriously love the loot and can't wait to start upgrading them. Really hope they keep supporting the game with expansions.

    Another game focused on lootbox and repetitive, it is not worth spending money on it.

    Gioco veramente particolare,le prime ore sembra non dirti nulla,ma appena decolla diventa veramente divertente,ti da dipendenza.
    Grafica discreta,gameplay frenetico e storia bella ma un po’ anonima..ha tutte le carte in regola per diventare un punto di riferimento Diablolike/lootshooter.

    This game is addicting.

    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

    Do not keep pushing games to the market, weeks before they are ready! I can't even play this game in single player due to the thoughtless lack of inclusion of an offline mode.

    Welcome to the worst character customisation from the previous or new generation of game consoles. I think they spent 20 minutes on these options, plus if you don't like what you picked, it's fine; sometimes you change race during cutscenes. A bug that hasn't been seen since the Age of Conan MMO.

I think they spent 20 minutes on these options, plus if you don't like what you picked, it's fine; sometimes you change race during cutscenes. A bug that hasn't been seen since the Age of Conan MMO.

    For some reason the radar is on the top left, which i can't think of any game that's ever done that. I mean it just looks terrible being there instead of top right.

    Graphically it's a mixed bag - the game looks better during cutscenes than what you actually play - it's a little jarring and certainly not as seamless as they intended.

    It can look pretty, and sometimes really good but other times it's drab, worn and you can tell a lot of environment parts were reused. For an open-world game, you'd get that but for an instanced game where each area is separate - it feels rushed.

    open every chest because in some areas the masses of ammo boxes and loot boxes look the same. Seriously... hell take the first real area when they give you a sniper rifle. Speaking of...

    Draw distance. When using a sniper rifle this is ridiculously bad, i thought i had loaded up Brute Force for the original xbox. The powers are interesting, the classes as well.. but the shooting, the shooting doesn't feel good. Destiny (say what you want about Bungies inability to tell a story) but the gameplay is fast, fluid and fun.

    This gameplay doesn't know whether to be slow, fast or fluid and mixes them up with weird results. It's not a pleasant experience. But like bad shooters of old you get used to it the more you play as you kill the walking, sometimes exploding for no reason, pinatas for loot.

    Story wise, it feels like they mixed mass effect andromeda with killzone and a spice of bulletstorm (they did make that one) - it's very genetic; being violent for violent sake (expect a lot of enemy bodies exploding in blood). You can tell why it's not a "Live Service" as they'd be heavily criticised. As it is, it kinda works as a co op but the game play; AI, Cover system all feels like it's a decade old. And that's not a compliment.

    I honestly think they're trying to make a niche between borderlands and Destiny/The Division etc. Although never of those were quite as linear as this game, hell even in the camp area which is large there's people blocking off passageways etc until "you're ready" to progress there, even if it's all instanced (worse than the city in anthem).

    turn off motion blur in the settings. And no there's no way to move the radar to the top right where it belongs.. the world tier is a nice idea but nothing we haven't seen in diablo, warhammer etc

    For a new game, it feels aged. It's just average; average shooter, average story... just.. meh. 6/10. A rushed ill thought out co op shooter - fun with friends drinking. but very 2010

    hold X to pay respects. Retro is in fashion after all, and this offers nothing new. I'm just glad i got the Xbox Game Pass 3 months for £1. Oh look my character went from black to white, and now i think he's hispanic... should have named him Michael    … 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.
