    Not for me. Fun in bursts, but depth is lacking. I can see many people getting a kick out of this

    An incredibly fun and addictive game to start with, but can get a bit repetetive after a while.

    I'll explain, there are three modes to choose from, a team deathmatch which pits two teams of casters against each other to see who can attain the most kills, money in the bank which has you collecting coins for your bank whilst fending off the other team and stopping them from banking coins    An incredibly fun and addictive game to start with, but can get a bit repetetive after a while.

    I'll explain, there are three modes to choose from, a team deathmatch which pits two teams of casters against each other to see who can attain the most kills, money in the bank which has you collecting coins for your bank whilst fending off the other team and stopping them from banking coins too... and finally a last caster stading battle royale mode which is pretty much what it says on the tin.

    Right off the bat this game is addictive and there are definitely lots of skills for you to practice, from curving your shots around corners or even U-turns, to using your powerups to either defend yourself or launch an offensive on the opposing team. Once you've mastered these skills though, the game can get a bit repetetive, and since you cannot necessarily choose which game mode you play, eventually you get tired of playing the same three modes over and over.

    Coupled with the fact that Stadia still has a relatively low playerbase due to it's infancy, you more often than not find yourself just up against bots a lot of the time. Still, one redeeming feature for the game for those eligible for it is Crowd Play... a Stadia specific feature which allows YouTube streamers to open their games up to the public and have YouTube/Stadia handle all of the queining and invites. If you can find a Streamer with enough of a following, Crowd Play opens up an entirely new dynamic to the game - even if it is the same 3 modes.

    I'd give the game a higher score though if I could see the developers actively developing more content for the game, but it seems to have been pretty stagnant as of late. But if you have Stadia... it's definitely worth a look at.    … Expand

    Lots of fun and fast paced. The quick gameplay(5mins round) and the various way you can stack the abilities are just awesome. Would like a few more maps/game modes because after a many hours it does get repetitive.

    Tengo sentimientos encontrados con este juego. 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

    Outcasters is a fun game. The fun wears thin after about 30-45 minutes with only 3 game modes and a whole bunch of bots. It's badly in need of something fresh to entice people in as it could be a really good game with a little addition here and there. Free to play model would suit this game perfectly. develop for other platforms and enable cross-play.

    A genuinely fun game to hop on quickly. It's simplicity keeps things fair. I just wish there was more incentive to unlocking outfits.

    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.

    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.

    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.
