From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outriders_(video_game)):
Outriders is an online-only cooperative action role-playing third-person video game developed by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix's European subsidiary. It was released on April 1, 2021 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Stadia.[2][3] The game received mixed reviews from critics, with praise towards the gameplay, customization, and visuals, but criticism for the story and characters. While the game reached over 3.5 million players by May 2021, it's unclear if it was a commercial sucess because of Square Enix and People Can Fly releasing different statements on the game's commercial performance.
Outriders is a third-person shooter mixed with elements from role-playing games. In the beginning of the game, players create their custom characters and choose from four classes, each of them with unique abilities that the players can use.[4] The four classes include the Trickster, which has the ability to manipulate time, the Pyromancer, which can manipulate fire, the Devastator, which can unleash seismic attacks, and the Technomancer, which uses turrets and other devices.[5] These special skills have a short cooldown time and can be combined with other skills for maximum effects. The game features a skill tree that allows players to unlock and upgrade their skills.[6]
Players can use different weapons such as shotguns and assault rifles to defeat enemies, and firearms can be customized with weapon mods.[7] Players can hide behind cover to shield themselves from enemy attacks, though health will only regenerate if the player manages to hurt or kill enemies.[6] Players combat both monsters and human enemies. As the player progresses, the world level (the game's equivalent to gameplay difficulty) will increase. If the world level is high, it is more likely for the player to get high-end loot from defeated enemies.[5] Players can equip armors that offer protection against incoming damage, with each class having their own unique armor sets to collect.[8]
The game incorporates various role-playing elements. As the players explore, they can explore different hub areas, talk to non-playable characters and complete side missions. In cutscenes a dialogue tree allows to decide the outcome of some conversations, though it does not affect the story's progression. The game can be played solo, but players can also complete the game together with two other players.[9]
Polish developer People Can Fly started Outriders's development in 2015.[10] Square Enix agreed to publish it and encouraged the team to expand on their vision. To develop the game, People Can Fly expanded the studio from having 40 members to more than 200 members.[5] Outriders's gameplay reveal caused critics to compare the game to other live service games such as Destiny and Tom Clancy's The Division, though People Can Fly affirmed that Outriders is not a live service title and that it was a game that players can "start and finish". The game was designed with cooperative gameplay in mind, though the team put a lot of emphasis in writing the game's story, with the lead writer Joshua Rubin comparing it to Apocalypse Now and Heart of Darkness.[11] The game's narrative features a much more serious tone than Bulletstorm as the studio wanted to prove that it can also write a mature story.[5][12]
On May 16, 2018, Square Enix announced that they would publish the next title from People Can Fly.[13] Announced at E3 2019,[14] the game is set to be released for Stadia, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X on April 1, 2021, after being delayed from its late 2020 timeline due to impacts from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[15][16] A game demo for the game was released in February 2021 and attracted 2 million players.[17]
On March 15, 2021, it was announced that the Xbox version would be available at no additional cost to Xbox Game Pass subscribers.[18] An expansion for the game titled Worldslayer was released on June 30, 2022.[19]
Outriders received "mixed or average reviews" from critics, according to Metacritic.[20][21][22][23]
Mack Ashworth from GameRevolution gave the game a 7.5/10, criticizing the story and characters, although praising the gameplay, level design, visuals, and combat animations, as well as the fact the game felt complete upon launch.
