    Like a mix between Gears 5, Destiny 2, and Horizon Zero Dawn, this game is pure fun! The multiplayer is fun, single player is smooth, and I couldn’t put it down.

    El juego me encanta, me gusta cómo se mueve en Series x y, ya le tengo echado unas cuantas horas. El problema de los servidores ya casi no pasa como al principio, un juego que no puedes dejar pasar.

    Me está encantando, voy por el nivel 15 de personaje y después de unas 15h de juego puedo decir q es un juegazo. Los combates son increíbles obligándote a cambiar de posición constantemente, y dominar el combate cuerpo a cuerpo y la puntería a larga distancia es esencial.

    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.

    Few server issues but gameplay was great and the story was weird but I really enjoyed something about it that I just can't put my finger on

    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

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
