The intense storyline covers a world of variety from the slums and shantytowns of First City, cross lush forests, scale mountains, and journey through arid deserts to discover the location of the source of a mysterious signal. Outriders combines fierce gunplay with brutal powers and an arsenal of ever-increasing, warped weapons, and gear sets, People Can Fly has produced a game with hours of great gameplay that adds to its reputation as the best First-Person Shooter developer in the gaming world.
A Massive Skill Tree to Customize
When the game starts, you will be told to choose one of the four different classes of protagonists. They are, The Trickster, who likes to jump into the battle slowing or stunning his targets and then disappearing as quickly as he arrived, the Technomancer is all about ranged attacks using modern weaponry or tools to create choke points and blast away at enemies that are undercover, the Devastator is a like an armored vehicle that charges into battle with total abandon, and finally, the Pyromancer, who uses fire to obliterate his foes, each of the classes has eight individual powers to choose from, three of which can be used at any time and can be changed out at any time, plus a massive skill tree that can be customized at will once you reach max levels, it will add passive upgrades to your character such as a health bonus or by boosting some of your special powers.
Combining Both to Cause the Most Damage
As a classic First-Person Shooter, you get to do all the things that have become synonymous with the genre, dodge, shoot, block, take cover, blind fire, run, melee, etc. There is an added special aspect that makes Outriders stand out from the competition, it is the variety of special powers that you can use to target your enemies, each one of the main characters has his own individual set of abilities so if you want close-range attacks like a tank, Stand your ground, Hit and Run or Space-Time then choose Devastator or Trickster, Pyromancer handles Medium Range with Conjurer and Fire, and as I said earlier technomancer gives you long-range options such as Support and Gadgets. Unlike most other games though your powers are not just supplementary to your weapons in this game, combining both to cause the most damage is essential, Stun your enemies then blast them with your pump-action shotgun or suppress your targets then use Space-Time to boost your armor while getting up close and personal, the choice is yours.
Discover the Secrets of Enoch
Using an enthralling storyline to hook you and a great combat system to keep you hooked, Outriders is an innovative and exciting game that will have you playing until the early hours. The environments are very detailed and at times sunning, with the graphics standing out on both the PS4 and PS5. Great sound, voice talent, and the script makes the cut scenes almost cinematic. You will feel invested in saving humanity and discovering the secrets of Enoch.
