    Do not listen to the “0” reviews. Outriders is a fantastic game! I am a gaming grampa and have been gaming since the late 1980’s and this title is one of my favorites. I joined Metacritic just to write this review to dispute the boo birds.

    The controls are wonderful. The leveling of gear and the options of types of gear are also wonderful. There are so many different ways to play the game that it makes it fun to replay just to see if you can make a stronger character. I found the story to be compelling if you paid attention to it. It may have had glitches when it was released, but it runs like a clock now. My crew played the first story and then Worldslayer this past week and we had a blast! Outriders plays like a more in depth Borderlands (which I also loved). Please, please Square Enix make an Outriders 2. This is a wonderful game and story and I can’t wait to see where it goes.    … Expand

    One of my favourite TPP shooter. So underrated, this One have really excellent story, good shooting mechanic and awesome looting system. Shame it didnt got better reviews, because I would love to see sequel one day. I will definitely play this game in comming years, already finished this on XSX from XGP, now I bought a copyright on PS5 to supportddvs and to play this again.

    Outriders was very good coop game and this game leaves a good impression. Cool gun play and end game but that's all. After all there was nothing to do. Story and music was great. Happy that it was in gamepass.

    I really enjoyed the game. I thought the story was too good, about how the planet Enoch got blown up. Gamelay is completely addictive.

    It is a real solid game which kept my playing the campaign until the very end. Good story, good gameplay, starts hard and gets easier with every item you find. Good sidequests. You start to optimize with every item you carry in your backpack and with all the skills you have. For me it was fun. One point minus was the german synchro. It was not perfect and was sometimes made without love.It is a real solid game which kept my playing the campaign until the very end.

    Juego que desprecie cuando salió la beta, ahora que tengo series x lo jugué gracias al gamepass y quedé sorprendido , está bastante bien el juego, me gusto lo suficiente como para acabarlo, se merece un 8 entretiene tiene buen gameplay, nada del otro mundo pero tampoco es una basura, para jugarlo gratis me parece bastante divertido

    I got hooked after the first few 'get to know the game' missions. Played it right after completing the Gears 5 campaign. Better than i was expecting based on things I heard. I would actually play this again. Can't say the same for Gears 5, even though I enjoyed that too.

    A looter style thirds person shooter that uses its story based mechanics to enhance its gameplay and give it its unique style. The different gameplay styles give a good variety to the game and lets the player really customize the way he wants to play. All of that without mentioning the really good story it tells

    Excellent jeux. Le système de loot est vraiment au point et la difficulté du jeux est gérable via un systeme de "monde " (difficulté). Les graphismes sont correct et le gameplay ainsi que les parties avec dautres joueurs (amis) est jouissive. Bravo People can fly!

    This game was a real nice surprise. I'd kind of written it off but since it was free on gamepass I gave it a go and it turned out to be surprisingly fun with some well implemented design ideas.

    Loot is easy to collect and dispose of on the go so it doesn't build up too quickly and rather than being a typical cover shooter like gears the focus is on movement. Speeding around the battlefield, slamming your fists into the ground and then using abilities on another group of enemies before ducking into cover to take a few shots at some others.. it's frantic and a real good time.

    I couldn't even finish gears 5, it just got so repetitive and nothing about it's story interested me. But the abilities in outriders made the experience really enjoyable. I also loved how dark and messed up the story is. Taking the time to read the lore as I progressed really painted a picture of a world on the brink of collapse. People making tough choices and countless others suffering from the outcome.

    All in all i'd say this is definitely worth checking out. I don't think i'll stick with it into the endgame or make use of the online features. But as a single player experience it's great. There are some unfortunate bugs though. It crashed three times and also the audio went out of sync in the final cutscene. There were a couple of moments when the framerate dropped too. All in all not too bad but it still has some issues that need to be patched.    … Expand

    One of the best games around. Somewhat similar in mechanics to Gears 5, yet much better in terms of campaign storyline and game depth - specifically playing on Xbox Series X. Highly recommended. The bad reviews are misleading as most are about servers availability early on, as well as some stability/quality issues long fixed.

    The story's not great, the dialogue is terrible, and the graphics are mid-range.......but it is a lot of fun.

    I never thought I'd play for as long as I have but the the progression through looting is addictive enough and rapid enough to keep me coming back.

    I love this game, more I play more I love it. The story is good and deep if you want to jump in it. But you have to like to read. The gameplay is extremly fun. Sometimes it's hard but the fun is still here. This game is a good surprise for me. Thanks People Can Fly.

    Game isn't 10/10, but 73/100 doesn't do it justice. I started playing it after patches, AI snipers don't stun you for half an hour anymore, I didn't encounter any glitch or bug. It's a looter-shooter done right. Visuals are stunning, gameplay is very intuitive and overall game is fun to play. It's not genre changing title, but 85/100 - 90/100 is where game should stand at ratings imho.Game isn't 10/10, but 73/100 doesn't do it justice.

    I play since day 1 and had a very few issues with the server connection. And I play it with friends, Xbox only, no multiplatform.
    The fun is amazing, if you know what to expect from this game, a looter shooter is like Diablo game with aiming with some Gears mixed in. Levels are varied, as well as enemies are.

    Visually the game looks good. We have not gotten a lot of titles to showcase these new consoles and Outriders does a good job with a rock-solid 60fps on Series X. The worlds are diverse, and the giant monsters are a sight to behold. The voice acting is atrocious and the story forgettable, but the actual world and shooting are simply outstanding. Outriders is a perfect storm. A shiny new game to show off these new consoles. The fact that it launched day and date onto Game Pass has definitely helped with its success, as has the fact that gamers are hungry for new experiences. I will likely be playing a bunch of Outriders in 2021, and that speaks volumes to its longevity. I hope the team continues to expand on the title as we move through the year, as I look forward to coming back to it for quite some time.

    All in all, Outriders falls short of Anthem in the launch-period stability stakes. Having to combat the game to be able to combat enemies and then combat the game to be able to combat enemies and then combat the… well, it’s just not worth it.

    It is a game that is interested in one thing and one thing only: turning enemies into bloody smears and hopefully finding some new shoes. And, thankfully, it is very good at it. If you are one of those people-who-like-this-kind-of thing, of course.
