    Been playing since launch, had a few disconnects, but overall, cannot complain; those that are marking this game down due to some launch hiccups need to grow up. Try living through the launch of Wolcen on PC, then come talk to me.

Try living through the launch of Wolcen on PC, then come talk to me.

    Anyways, this game. It's really good. It has no right to be this good, but it is. The voice acting is pretty legit, story is straightforward but engaging enough where you won't want to skip cutscenes (mostly), and plays incredibly on XSX. And the builds.. Boy, do I love the builds.. My Pyromancer is a ton of fun, and the fact that you can select perks for most weapons and gear to your liking really scratches the itch that I've longed for since leaving Destiny 2 (with over 500 hours played in Bungie's current darling franchise).

    At first, I didn't think that the Gears of War style gameplay would excite me, but the minute I unlocked a few abilities, I started getting really hooked. Now that I'm rocking super sweet gear, a few legendary weapons that are a TON of fun to play with, and linked up with a few friends and had a blast playing with them on their game to help them level a bit, I can say that this one is here to stay for yours truly. And my character is so bada** that even my wife's boyfriend is impressed.

    Is it perfect? No. Is it revolutionary? No, and it doesn't have to be. But is it one of those rare games that comes along every once in awhile that, when I'm not playing it, I'm thinking about it and wanting to get back into the action? You bet. Even better, it's a joy, pursuing that sweet, sweet loot based on my own personal difficulty level means I can scale my gameplay experience each time I play (called World Tiers, much like Diablo III's torment system that you have access to from Level 1). All in all, this is my own person recipe for a perfect game.    … Expand

    The RPG elements are good, you have builds which you can support with the mods on your gear. You can fully focus on one skill for example and have that skill be overpowered. Or go for a more safe overall approach.

    I had a lot of fun so far and plan to continue having fun. As a dark souls/ diablo fan, this game feels like a shooter approach of both of those games.

    For the newbs: you can lower your world tier, the game is easier that way. Better to git gud and pwn instead for those legendary drops.    … 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.

    People rating this game low because of unexpected popularity and server crashes is so petty and dumb. The gunplay is where this game sticks out and it’s a total blast with three player coop in an era where weak ass dweebs only want single player games.

    A primeira impressão que tive deste jogo é que seria um Gears 5 genérico. De fato há muitas coisas semelhantes, mas ele também bebe na fonte do Destiny. Mas quando comecei a jogar, fui fisgado completamente por ele. É um looter shooter viciante e divertido, e no Series X está rodando liso. Recomendadíssimo!

    Funny how people are complaining about technical launch issues on a smaller dev completely ignoring the quality and quantity the game has to offer. Most of those server issues are resolved, I have not faced issues after day 3. This is not a drip-feed live service game. This game is 100% complete and more complete on day 1 than some looters are for their entire life span.

This game is 100% complete and more complete on day 1 than some looters are for their entire life span. On top of that there are no microtransactions. Game is awesome. Entertaining story (not some vague minimalistic sci-fi haphazardly put together like Destiny is), great gameplay, lush graphics with a variety of areas and enemies, excellent worldbuilding, character customization and good loot system. This game has it all and was made by a smaller dev than say Bungie. Bravo to the developers! Looking forward to seeing what is to come. Haters don't know a good game if it slapped them in the face. They are all over the internet comparing this complete game to Destiny, a live-service drip feed game developed by a huge developer with microtransactions and it renders hard-earned loot useless as soon as new content drops. What a backwards world we live in.… Expand

    This game was amazing!!!! Only thing you need to do is turn down difficulty to world tier 2 and you will enjoy it so much! Cant wait for a sequel if there is one.

    After a very rocky start I am absolutely loving this game there are so many innovations.

So... the bad bit, well unfortunately its the start of the game which I guess would put a lot of people off, the introduction section is long, the difficulty is high, the combat is patchy and awkward. BUT - once you get past the first couple of hours, you get used to the anomaly powers and the combat and you get access to gear mods and the larger map the game comes into its own. The story picks up (I am really enjoying the story), the graphics and level designs are great, the missions are good and the combat is rewarding. I love the world tier idea for dynamically scaling the difficulty this is such a great innovation and I love the crafting and modding system too. This game is going to get missed by so many people because of the bad start but honestly stick with it and it becomes brilliant - if you like Gears of War then you will like this game there are a lot of similarities and this game even improves on Gears in certain aspects I'd say. If you have GamePass there is no excuse not to give this game a try :-)… Expand

    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!

    I'm giving a 10 only to help offset the goofy zeros. I think I'd go about 8-8.5. I seriously don't understand where some of the complaints are coming from. Combat is fun, the weapons are varied and have a lot to choose from, different classes all seem to have useful powers, story is pretty basic, but interesting enough to chug through. All in all, I think it's just a solid B title. MyI'm giving a 10 only to help offset the goofy zeros. I think I'd go about 8-8.5.

    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.
