For as long as I can remember, I have enjoyed much of the Sci-Fi media. Whether it be movie franchises such as Alien, Predator, or even more lighthearted content such as Star-Wars. I’ve also enjoyed First Person Shooter video game titles such as Destiny or Titanfall. Then there was Outriders, a game some felt like Gears of War and Destiny combined.
Developed by People Can Fly and published by Square Enix. Outriders was released for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Windows PC, and Stadia during April 1, 2021. For this series, I played the Xbox Series X/S version. This is also compatible for Xbox One as this was one of many titles that received the current generation graphics upgrade. While many are unsure if this game was a commercial success. Due to different statements made by the publisher and developer. I believe this game may not be the best I’ve played. It is entertaining and challenging. However, I did notice the content may have been somewhat rushed towards the end of the game.
Outriders is a Third Person Sci-Fi Looter Shooter that seems to carry some game mechanics from Gears of War and Destiny. The game has a mostly dark tone and atmosphere, with some dark humor from time to time. You can shoot firearms, and use elemental abilities to defeat your foes. During gameplay you will find loot that increases your stats to make yourself more powerful. There is also a world tier system, that can be increased to fight tougher enemies and earn better rewards. The game is quite violent, on the same level as Gears of War.
You create and play as an Outrider you name as you choose, a military soldier part of The Outriders. A military group that were created as an Advanced Vanguard for the colony mission to their new home. The planet of Enoch. The game takes places 83 years after life on earth has come to an end. Only 500,000 residents of earth managed to escape earth after it came to an end due to chaos caused by events. Such as war, famine, pestilence, and death. Unfortunately, the mission comes to an unexpected turn, and things look bleak. After the incident that occurred shortly after arriving on Enoch. You are injured and placed in Cryogenic Stasis, and you awake 30 years later. Enoch has become as war torn apocalyptic Wasteland. With only 50,000 Survivors remaining. You then learn you have obtained new super natural abilities since the incident. With these new abilities, you learn to use them and help restore peace.
