Outriders: Co-op shooter is growing in popularity

With Outriders, publisher Square Enix released a wild mix of Destiny and Gears of War in 2021. However, the result was not a mega success and was rather semi-well received by the international trade press: 73 percent on Metacritic. This was mainly due to technical problems and the weak endgame.

However, a lot has happened in the last twelve months! Developer People Can Fly (Bulletstorm) has continuously improved the loot shooter and eradicated many childhood diseases. The general mood on Steam has changed accordingly.

While user ratings were “balanced” most of the time, positive reviews are now accumulating on the platform. Or to put it another way: word has gotten around that that the shooter isn’t perfect, but it’s fun.
