    Outcasters is an outrageously fun Stadia exclusive with an innovative shot mechanic and wacky graphics. If you can get a party for four together, it’s an amazing time, but even playing solo with online randoms is a great treat too.

    Outcasters is truly a unique experience. For Stadia, it's no doubt a huge win. Splash Damage did an incredible job of homing in on the essence of what makes a great multiplayer experience – and the result is Outcasters. Curving bullets is a blast, every battlefield is blessed with adorable graphics, and the unlockable cosmetics and abilities give you plenty of reasons to keep coming back. I'm hopeful that Outcasters will eventually land on other platforms. Otherwise, it may not get the attention it truly deserves.

    Outcasters is fun, fast, and easy to pick up. A shot-curving mechanic pushes the gameplay in interesting directions, allowing for unexpected levels of strategy. Though the number of modes is currently limited, the modes that are included are quite fun - and there is always room for expansion. The character collection aspect of the game is surprisingly deep and addictive.

    Outcasters is a very fun multiplayer game that lacks content.

    Outcasters isn't the stellar killer-app that Stadia so deparately needs, but it offers enough to pad out the Pro subscription for Google's cloud gaming service just a little bit further. It's an extremely fun game that delivers on the promise of being easy to pick up and play but difficult to master.

    Ultimately, Outcasters mostly seems ready to settle into its niche that it’s created. It’s not designed to be the killer app that reels in a mass of new players, but it should attract some. Better yet, since it launched directly into Stadia Pro, it’s there on day one for the folks who are already the most committed. For a platform trying to find its footing in a crowded, competitive space, solidifying the publisher-player relationship is crucial. There will be bigger, flashier, and likely better games to come from Stadia Games and Entertainment in the years ahead, but for now, those already playing via Google’s tangerine-tinted cloud will find they have their first example of a fun, albeit flawed, multiplayer game they won’t find anywhere else.

The game is exclusively PVP and it feels very fair and very skill based. I also like that while there is a battle royale mode in the rotation, the game changes between other modes keeping it fun. It's a great game that plays great with controller. It plays okay with keyboard and mouse but the way the mouse control works I am less accurate. So I always play with controller. Expand

The music is catchy, the characters are cute, and the gameplay is addicting. It’s got a good combination of being simple enough that you don’t struggle to understand what’s going on, but getting a hang of curving your shots or utilizing the best combination of shot boosters takes time and practice. The only thing holding this game back at this point is the lack of depth. While fun, there are only three game modes, and all are limited to a maximum of ten players, which can mean at times you find yourself running around on a map waiting to run into someone on the other team. If they’re willing to add additional content this game would definitely grow in value, but as it stands, it still makes for a great way to spend a dozen or so hours. Expand

La jugabilidad es tremenda, los efectos de sonido, la personalización, sus modos de juego, todo eso es excelente. Pero se ve una UI poco pulida, al arrancar veo un color plano azul de fondo un poco de juego despreocupado y falta una liga competitiva o algo que incite a los jugadores a entrar más. Me da mucha pena esto porque es un buen juego que necesita algún incentivo para mantener un mínimo de usuarios activos y no se han propuesto mejorarlo. Da la sensación de que lo sacaron sin terminar y ya no le han dedicado más tiempo, pero es muy entretenido para entrar un rato a cumplir un par de misiones rápidas (tipo juego de móvil). Expand

    Die Steuerung ist einfach zu kompliziert. Die hätten sich eher an Brawlstars orientieren sollen.
