Outriders

I went in expecting Destiny-meets-Diablo, and Outriders delivers exactly that for the first 20 hours. The combat loop is snappy: frenetic gunplay married to class-specific powers (Devastator tank, Pyromancer glass cannon, Trickster rogue, Technomancer support) that actually reshape how you approach encounters. Build variety is real, stacking damage multipliers and crowd control creates genuine synergies that feel earned. The problem is pacing. The story drags through a 40-hour campaign that doesn't justify its length, padded with fetch quests and exposition dumps that interrupt momentum. The bigger issue: always-online DRM kills the single-player experience. Connection hiccups boot you from solo runs, which feels hostile for a game that markets offline play. Co-op is where Outriders shines, scaling difficulty with friends makes the grind tolerable. If you're hunting a deep build-crafting endgame with friends, there's fun here. Solo? The campaign's pacing problems and online gatekeeping make it hard to recommend without serious caveats.
