Outriders, in contrast, doesn’t have that, and feels very generic compared to its rivals in the genre. Warframe may not be made by the world’s biggest studio but it stands out in terms of its design.
There’s just no real visual identity in Outriders and it just doesn’t look…great? This is less of a “bad graphics” thing and more of an art direction thing. The zones are very tight and heavily instanced, loading into separate areas even for individual side missions that as of right now, are your usual fare of chest-high walls and groupings of enemy spawns. I know, I know, Outriders is not trying to be a Destiny killer, but it will be compared to that game, to The Division, to Borderlands, even to Anthem. There is, however, a fair amount about Outriders so far that just doesn’t sit right with me, based on what I’m seeing in this demo.įirst, you can feel the lower budget compared to other AAA looters. I will say movement doesn’t feel amazing as you try to dodge roll out of grenade spam that can feel a bit Division-ish in a bad way at times. In short, it doesn’t seem like you’re going to have to wait very long to try out interesting and unique gear, and I can see the potential of builds and loadouts escalating the more is unlocked. I already found a submachine gun that freezes enemies solid, and I got a legendary sniper rifle from a boss chest that inflicts weakness in an AOE and one shots most enemies with its high power. Even though I prefer FPS to third person, the gunplay feels good on PC, as do the abilities, and even in the demo, you start to get a real sense of loot and potential builds. If I had to compare Outriders’ third person combat to anything, you’re probably out of cover more often than The Division or Gears of War, and maybe it’s more like Mass Effect, as you run around and use both guns and your powers to take on enemies.
