Outriders is one of those rare games where it not only lives up to expectations, but completely surpasses them. The game's multiple character classes and seeming endless amount of customization makes for a fresh and engaging gameplay loop long after you finish the campaign.

Outriders is a good looter-shooter at times that has some moments of greatness buried beneath a generic if well-realized sci-fi veneer.

In spite of the weak story and awful launch state, Outriders still manages to be a compelling and rewarding looter shooter.

Outriders is comfortably one of the best games of the year so far, and it's only going to get better as the post-launch polish puts paid to the technical problems that currently hold it back from true greatness.

I’m happy that Outriders tries to be something different and more self-contained. It might limit its longevity, but it was nice to play something that was an adventure and not a treadmill covered in bad loot and battle passes.

Outriders is an action shooter game with RPG mechanics. A frenetic and aggressive game in which we will be a mutant throughout a civil war, developing our powers, while we arrive the narrative conclusion. The multiplayer stands out over the solo game, feeling especially fun and well-implemented at the RPG level, despite the Matchmacking problems. A beautiful title at graphic level, which will not leave us indifferent with its incredible settings and special effects.

Outriders is an exciting evolution of the third-person shooter genre, with thrilling sci-fi powers and satisfying gunplay that makes nearly every battle feel fast-paced and gripping until the last enemy drops.

Publishers, instead of trying to make everything the next Destiny-killer, should do what People Can Fly and Square Enix have done with Outriders. Offering a full experience with multiplayer, deep character customization, and plenty of post-game content works beautifully

That's a huge letdown, because the encounters feel tuned for co-op rather than solo play. Playing alone, I could feel the absence of other players; although enemies are tougher when playing with friends, having another person to divert a boss' attention feels more natural than having you and a boss circle a pillar as you whittle down its health, or slowly working your way through the unrelenting hail of bullets that some of the later encounters subject you to. You also get to revive your friends in multiplayer (you even get one self-revive), which makes some of the tougher fights a little easier.

Outriders’ stellar gunplay and abilities make for a standout take on the cover-shooter genre, even though the overall experience is dragged down by server instability.

Outriders, the first big Polish game after Cyberpunk 2077, delivers. This is not a shooter for everyone, but if you like hack and slash, then check out the new work of the studio People Can Fly.

Outriders is not the most innovating title and doesn't really deliver the greatest experience in its genre. Nevertheless, when playing in coop and if you're fan of the genre, you could quickly forget the flaws and enjoy the experience. The game is going to have to bring a lot of additionnal content quickly if it hopes to keep an active community.

Outriders is a looter shooter inspired by Diablo and does justice to its inspiration. I hope they will add stuff to keep players busy.

Outriders ends up being a surprisingly addictive experience that mixes in intense shootouts, a unique mix of class-based abilities, a healthy loot system, and a fun approach to upgrading your skills/gear. Exploring every nook and cranny of Enoch brings you to an assortment of different climates and locales, plus you’ll come to enjoy most of the personalities you’ll interact with within each one.

Outriders is the best release among the various looter shooters that have come out in recent years and has great potential ahead. Gameplay is the biggest highlight here, but it will need more content to maintain the success achieved and overcome some flaws. Despite the technical problems faced at its launch, the title is more than recommended for anyone looking for a new loot game.

Outriders is an OK RPG shooter that can be thrilling in it gunfights, but it never takes off. Its weak narrative and numerous bugs and crashes and lack of memorable moments prevent it from sitting next to the most successful online TPS.

‎Therefore, Outriders complies with everything he promised in his day. A looter shooter focused on the campaign, but not closed to a bright future through expansions that allow us to continue to know Enoch and discover its secrets. And this does not mean that, after the close of the story, we will open up a range of game options to enjoy with our Outriders teammates.‎

While the launch was rough due to the numerous issues; they were addressed and the final result once patched is a deeply enjoyable action game that provides plenty of fun and challenges. Some may say waves of wildlife and enemies may become repetitive but the vast array of them as well as the varied locales, weapons, and powers had me hooked from start to finish.
