While yes, I also spent 100+ hours with Anthem and Avengers, so saying I will do that with Outriders is not really a big deal, I will say this shows more promise than either of those did early on, at least in terms of the loot itself, which is the core of these games. The instancing here is extremely poor, and while I know this was done to accommodate co-op, even the developer itself has said on the record it’s a lackluster solution, and something they’ll continue to work on. I have never seen a more anti-open world in the modern era with loading screens for every door opening and gap jump. And I just don’t think the voice acting is very good, particularly for our character, male or female, which will be a problem if it doesn’t improve.įor me, the two biggest problems with Outriders at the moment are the aesthetic, which consists of relatively bland environments and some truly disgusting looking legendary weapons, but more pressingly the world and its design. I did not like the prologue at all and I think it should be cut entirely. It’s too early to judge it now, and I should talk to more people and see how it pans out before I declare it bad. Many games have echoes of Diablo and Diablo-like systems in their looting and combat and skill set-up, but this is genuinely the most “Diablo with guns” game I think I’ve ever played. In short, this demo was able to convincingly portray a combat and farming loop that I found instantly addicting, and very much like the game that clearly inspired it, Diablo. And if that system of combat continues (I really hope we’re not forced to hide indefinitely in world tier 15 due to how much damage enemies are doing) that’s going to feel great. Some classes like Devastator and Trickster make this easier than others, but by the end of the demo, I had geared out my Trickster and Pyromancer where both didn’t need to use cover at max world tier either. All of this combines to…an incredibly fun combat experience, once you learn not to cower and cover and go take on your enemies face to face, killing to heal in various ways for the different classes.
