Set on a ruinous planet called Enoch which humanity has failed to colonize after fleeing Earth, Outriderswastes no time in setting up a murky and dystopian atmosphere. Taking down legions of monsters as part of a battle-hardened trio offers up a lot of variety and chaotic action on par with the studio’s past shooter work. We previously previewed Outriders back in January and found it to be a “shooter that seems tailor-made for superhero fans.” This is still the case seven months on, with the game’s unique mix of supernatural powers and tight cover-based shooting delivering all the thrills appropriate for an original sci-fi universe looking to engage you and friends for potentially hundreds of hours. During an online virtual demo earlier this month, I got to play three hours of fresh mission types and try an all-new character class called the Technomancer. The team’s latest is a co-op shooter that takes heavy inspiration from The Division, Destiny, and Mass Effect while adding its own flourishes to the sci-fi shooter formula.
However, Outridersis the developer’s opportunity to once again shine on its own. After developing one of the most underrated first-person shooters ever in 2011’s Bulletstorm, the Polish studio was quickly snapped up by Epic Games to help ship a small indie title called Fortnite. You have to admire the sheer tenacity of People Can Fly.
