Outriders has a structure semi-reminiscent of an MMO. Beyond the rising action, it gets somewhat dull and doesn’t have much to make you want to rush forward. The basic gist is that your Outrider hears a distress signal when they land, so you set out to find it in the hopes that the electronics equipment it uses can call down the supplies stuck on another ship in orbit. The narrative itself has some interesting lore, but the actual plot beats and characters, while not bad, don’t do much to make this something people will remember for its story. When you finally wake up, everything has gone to double shit and it’s up to you to forge a new future.ĭespite the fact that people seem to think Outriders is a live service game, its campaign is single player at heart, although you can play it with friends. Or it was, until most of the Outriders died horribly and you ended up spending 30 years in cryosleep after gaining superpowers. You play as an Outrider, whose job is to scout the place and lead the people to greatness. The twist is that the seemingly pristine planet is covered in deadly storms that make it practically uninhabitable. Earth is dead, so mankind travels to the distant planet of Enoch to find a new home. Outriders, despite coming from the makers of campy games like Painkiller and Bulletstorm, attempts to tell a mostly serious and coherent story. People looking to blast enemies to bits with friends will find a lot to like, but there are some things that’ll scare folks off. The result is a surprisingly long and entertaining cover-based, third-person shooter (TPS) with some dated design choices and a host of technical issues. As such, I was looking forward to seeing what the studio had to offer in Outriders. Since then, the company co-developed a Gears of War game and parts of Fortnite. It’s been about 10 years since People Can Fly released its last original game, Bulletstorm.
