Enjoyable Solo Experience
Played this 9 months after launch on Xbox Game Pass. Even coming off of Halo Infinite, the gunplay in Outriders was really fun. The unlocking of new skills and weapons/armor is extremely satisfying. And while each new gun or new armor piece is only a little better than the last, it feels like you are constantly getting stronger, getting new buffs, or being tempted to try different gun mod combos. As a sci-fi fan, I really enjoyed the story. It won't win any awards, but I really grew to like the characters. And near the end, I made a guess of what I expected the end to be only for People Can Fly to pull a good unexpected twist. I loved how the combat was extremely fast paced, especially in comparison to Gears. If a story expansion is released, I will very likely return to this game.
