It’s easy to typecast Outriders as yet another looter-shooter, and with how frustrating the genre has been in recent years, you’d be forgiven for doing so. On the surface, the game looks like an attempt from Square Enix to cram itself into a very crowded, and popular, genre like many other publishers have tried to do in recent years. Those who haven’t kept up with the news might even believe that Outriders is another live-service game, and that it is destined to fail.
While yes, Outriders is a looter-shooter, it’s not yet another. It’s a special game that, while not perfect, does a lot of things very well, and is among the best games to be released in the genre in recent memory.
