It wants failure to be put squarely on the players’ shoulders for not managing their own skills and builds well enough. In doing so, the game vastly shifts the perception of what a third-person shooter can be. Outriders aims to reward the risks you take to play to the advantages of your class, not just sitting in cover plinking away at distant figures. Knowing this, ability uptime, particularly if managed well, is consistent, and makes fights against swatch of enemies feel fun, fast-paced, and varied. Relying solely on your weapons is a good way to never get past any encounters. Outriders’ gunplay is almost secondary to the suite of abilities you unlock for each character. I selected Trickster as my main, but have taken the time to play around with other classes as well. Cowering in cover as the Trickster-who uses time-based and movement skills to get into advantageous positions close to enemies-is more apt to get you killed than simply getting behind an enemy and turning them to mist with a well placed shotgun blast.Įach class feels quite different to play and requires different play styles. It might feel counterintuitive in most games to throw yourself into the middle of a group of enemies when your low on health, but that’s exactly what Outriders wants you to do. Outriders wants to encourage players to utilize the skills and abilities of their chosen class, so healing is based on leaning into those class specifics. Outriders Review – Run for Cover…or NotĪt a glance, Outriders is a third-person cover shooter that could immediately be compared to any number of other games in the genre, except for one key difference: cover is actually an impediment to your own gameplay. In that respect, the story really speaks to and supports the crazy gameplay. Sure, the delivery is sometimes schlocky and absurd, but it felt like it accomplished precisely what it was intended to be: an at times serious, at times ridiculous science fiction story filled with absurd action. I loved building up my crew as we ventured further away from the safety of the city and farther into the unknown. I was consistently interested in the world building through sidequests-understanding more about the plight of the survivors on Enoch. I loved the story, not necessarily as this grand masterpiece of storytelling, but as a great vehicle to deliver the kind of over-the-top-action that Outriders was aiming for. With your newfound anomaly powers, you are a reluctant hero, understanding that your powers allow you to come to the aid of the people who are trapped, threatened, and have none.
You awake to a situation not much better than Earth, with not only the planet’s open aggression, but the remnants of humanity fractured and warring over what little resources are available for survival. You are an Outrider, one of the frontline forces sent down to the planet ahead of everyone else and left in cryo for decades after its hostility was discovered. Oh, and it wipes out advanced electronics too, rendering them entirely useless. Of course, things don’t go as planned, the planet shows a previously unforeseen hostility, and a mysterious anomaly grants a select few powers while eliminating everyone else in its path. After Earth is ruined by humans, a scant few survivors take the stars and head for Enoch, a planet that is supposed to be the next bastion of life a place where humanity can restart. Outriders‘ story is a good amount of over-the-top sci-fi end-of-the-Earth action. And yet it still feels challenging, a high risk, high reward game that can feel soul crushing one moment, and have you whooping and hollering with delight the next. It makes you feel powerful without artificially limiting or taking away that power. It lets you craft the way you want to play. Outriders is simply and unapologetically Outriders. Outriders isn’t Borderlands, or Gears of War, or any of the other multitude of things it could easily be compared to. So get ready to blast off in a rocket fuelled Starfield performance preview.Outriders isn’t Destiny. We also compare the improvements over the previous showing, enhancements within the engine, and much more.
