A detailed, evidence-led view of the product—not a generic sales summary.

Outriders for PC is a third person action adventure shooter game with some role playing elements. It is a successful mixture of Wild West type survival and sci fi space exploration, offering the most fun bits of both worlds in an engrossing game that will keep you playing happily for hours. About the Game You begin the game by customising your character, as so often is the case. You will pick one of four classes for your character (see below for details) and then arm yourself against the variety of human and monster enemies that you will be battling. You can play solo, or with two other players depending on your preferences and the availability of your mates. Weapons are rifles and shotguns, but they can be upgraded and improved with modifications, and you can opt for every assisting trick, gizmo and gadget on the market, or you can play old-school with just a simple cross-hair through which to aim at your opponents. As you play, explore the map to your heart’s content – the game is not open world with missions keeping you tied to one area until it is complete, but within that area the map is spacious enough that you feel as though you are moving at your own motivation rather than being funnelled along a narrow path. So, take your time and speak to any non-playing characters (NPCs) that you come across and accept side missions and mini quests from them as you go. Instead of level difficulty this game offers world tiers, with higher tiers offering more challenging quests which offer more rewards in the form of loot. Despite the presence of enemies, the focus of the game is rather more player versus environment over player versus player, which is better for those who like to test their skills against the game without having to watch out for fellow players coming along to
