Outriders Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Outriders combines immense variety, aggressively geared combat and fun abilities to offer a third person shooter like no other. It’s filled to the brim quality content – bringing a stellar campaign that’s constantly throwing new things at the player and a compelling well-designed post-game experience in Expeditions. Teething issues with online aside, Outriders is poised to be one of the biggest surprises of the year, and you should definitely give it a go.
I think it’s admirable that the devs set out to make a game in this vein that isn’t supported by a “Games as a Service” style system that is held up by microtransactions. Based on what i’ve seen so far, this game is pretty much a complete package, with the devs saying they may be interested in a big expansion, but we have no drip fed “2021 content roadmap” system trying to keep our interest. It’s a change for the genre, and we can’t say yet if it’s a successful idea but I think the idea of these being a little less massive and a bit more definitive is a fun idea, a good experience you can enjo...
Outriders from People Can Fly (Painkiller, Bulletstorm) is the latest in a long line of 'looter-shooter' games, a new breed that was arguably spearheaded by Bungie with Destiny.
Outriders is far from perfect. But a game doesn't have to be when it facilitates such a high degree of fun and interesting gameplay mechanics.
With an expanded endgame, new difficulty tiers, and new story content, Worldslayer adds a lot to Outriders, even if none of the additions are mind-blowing.
“Outriders features stellar action and deep customization, but it lacks personality.”
Despite not being revolutionary or without issues, Outriders delivers one of the most complete looter shooters experiences out there today.
Outriders is a so-so game that doesn't leave a lasting impression and once the main campaign is finished, there's nothing left to do.
The best time I had with the game was a ten-minute stretch that contained (a) no crashes or bugs, (b) the right level and world tier—essentially, a measure of enemy toughness—and (c) a harmony of tactics, sorcery, and gunfire.
Story and Gameplay Whether you’ve been following the news around Outriders or not as of late, games like these are making making our jobs as reviewers very difficult, especially when trying to assign a score. Either way, People Can Fly’s looter shooter has been upon us for a bit now and instead
People Can Fly’s Outriders is in a unique position in the video game world. It looks like a live service game, but the developers vehemently deny it is one. Outriders has a definitive single-player experience, but with an endgame meant to satiate players who want more. The title is reminiscent...
In many ways, Outriders is the perfect example of how a co-op looter shooter should be. The crafting and character build system undoubtedly raised the bar for any to come in the future. The combat is thrilling, unique, and a blast to play. The visceral action and superpowers, simply feel good.
