    Anthem 2.0

    Completely unplayable, even solo. Servers crash every 5-10.

    Why do companies believe it is OK to release unfinished games? Flawless demo, **** launch.

    Maybe come back in a few years once they've had a chance to finish development and the few people left playing aren't a strain on their obviously underfunded server budget

    I've finished the campaign and run a few end game expeditions with my pyromancer and my take away is I simply cannot understand why the game is getting the praise it is. Putting aside launch weekend server woes and the occasional bug and focusing solely on gameplay:

Putting aside launch weekend server woes and the occasional bug and focusing solely on gameplay:

    Console aiming, field of view, and movement are absolute trash. Aim assist is so aggressive that I've watched the game get confused and mislead my target or I've had to continually fight the analog stick to get headshots. Abilities like thermal bomb often fail to connect with the target I aimed for and hit some other target that is closer, even if it's at a 90 degree angle away from where I am. Aiming down sights is so bad that it makes it almost impossible to see incoming enemy ability areas. Sprinting has a delay, as does dodge roll, and both are too slow to get away from the zerg rush of mobs that can continually knock you back or get you locked into a corner.

    I don't know why some reviews say the AI is good because I've found them to be completely braindead. There's four or five enemy types in the whole game and once you've encountered them once you know how they'll behave. They always behave that same way. Some humans flank you but that's not exactly worthy of praise. The game compensates the braindead AI by giving them god aim and obscene knockback/knock down. Enemies know where you are at all times. You can watch Snipers snap aim to where you're going to move in real time. Every enemy with a grenade becomes the most accurate NFL passer in the world.

    Due to the fast paced nature of the game, every class has a handful of abilities that are just too slow to be useful. One such example for the pyromancer is FASER Beam. Too long to wind up for too little damage. Most of the time you'll completely whiff because by the time you launch, the enemy you were aiming at has moved. I can't remember the name of the skill but I had similar issues with one of the early skills for Devastator. It's designed to get you into the fight but it takes too long to launch. In both cases, the wind up time leaves you far too exposed.

    Gunplay is awful. In a world where Destiny and Division exists... this just feels two generations old. Gears 5's gunplay was better than this. Guns themselves are OK, although there are insane damage variations between weapons of the same class. Most pump action shotguns, for example, are garbage compared to automatic shotguns.

    The story was awful. Like Mass Effect Andromeda levels of awful. Mostly because it's practically the exact same premise. Outrider instead of Pathfinder. Every male character has the same energy as The Drifter from Destiny 2, which made me want to punch them all in the face.

    The real (and only) standout in the game is the crafting and mods system. That is genuinely fantastic and I hope other games take note. But with how shallow end game expeditions are (timed boss fights, yawn), I don't see much reason to keep grinding this game for dozens or hundreds of hours. There's precious little to do once you finish the game and expeditions aren't very compelling IMO.

    I suspect the game is burning brightly right now because people were clamoring for something new to play, not necessarily due to the quality of the game. I also suspect that when people reach end game and realize how empty it is, the concurrent player count will plunge. It's a 6/10 game at best that's benefiting from a minor gaming drought and people looking for reasons to justify their shiny new next gen consoles.    … Expand

    They wanted to make Dark Souls, so you're expected to dodge roll constantly.

    They wanted to make The Division, so it's a cover shooter. They wanted to be sure it was no fun, so the weapon aiming system handles worse than the Ever Given.

    Gunplay, Movement, Controls feeling really bad. One of the worst third person shooter. Cover mechanic in this game is useless . Everyone who is saying this is better than Destiny, Division or any other Loot Shooter is lying. Absolute Trash game. Game crashed 5 times in 7 hours. Thanks to Game Pass i dont wasted any money on this.

    A total let-down for me. This game is a boring as hell looter-shooter, trying to poorly combine Destiny (completely copied and pasted their inventory / equipment menus), Gears of War with Mass Effect: Andromeda when it comes the story. Unfortunately, it doesn't work - it's very pretentious and uninspired; I couldn't care less for any of the characters. Shooting is very very badly done -A total let-down for me.

Shooting is very very badly done - it's just so boring that as a kid I had imaginary shootouts with friends that were much more interesting and compelling.

    Graphics are also a downside, at least on Xbox One they are on par (or worse?) than Mass Effect 1, a game from 2007. Also when it comes to the server issue - the game first deleted my first character randomly due to servers going offline, but I couldn't care less because I don't really want to come back to this game. Shame.    … Expand

    What a boring game. I expected more. It has some gears elements but it fails to deliver a great experience. The graphics, mechanics and level design are so outdated for a game that is released on 2021

    **** gun play, too much cut-scenes, poor storytelling overall, almost no identity trying to compete with GoW and MEA with full price. The game has potencial but lacks music, ambiantatition and emotion, in another words, lacks seasoning to make it fun enough to pass over other games already well established. It needs much more to survive the post-hype future.

    Não dou 10 pelo começo conturbado que teve no começo do jogo com os problemas de servidores instáveis, mas em si o jogo é incrível cenários bonitos, inimigos desafiadores ainda mais jogando em Coop, chefes bem interessante

    I'm tired of games being released and servers being down. There is no excuse. Im tired of people giving developers a pass on this issue. We pay money for a this product but then are told to just deal with it. It's unacceptable. He'll, even crappy Comcast prorates my account when my internet goes down. Stop making excuses for them or any developer.

    It doesn’t work. Servers are always down: 3 days after it’s still unplayable. Giving the fact I am forced to be online even if I’m going to play solo, I expect working servers.

    There are plenty of shortcomings in Outriders - from the gameplay standpoint and to the massive number of technical hiccups. But even so, the deep and rewarding role playing system can make up for some of it. If you love the looter-shooter genre, then wait for Outriders to get a price drop, or simply try the game with Game Pass.

    The “old gen” versions of Outriders do not have to be ashamed of the comparison with their counterparts on next gen consoles. The weight of the years in terms of hardware is felt in the framerate, the loading times as well as the displayed resolutions, which encroaches a little on the comfort of play without being crippling, quite the contrary. The game from People Can Fly and Square Enix retains on PS4 and Xbox One all the qualities and faults of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions, starting with a hard-hitting combat system, an intoxicating rise to power of the avatar, a mysterious planet Enoch, but also general instability responsible for several crashes.

    While Outriders doesn’t invent any new mechanics, the story is enjoyable, and the interesting classes, gear system, and world tiers make for some very challenging but fun gameplay. There were definitely a few hiccups on release day, and there are some easy alterations that can be made to make Outriders more accessible. But I would definitely recommend picking up this title.
