Outriders First Take Review

OUTRIDERS

So I played Outriders for the first time the other night and streamed it for an hour. I got all the way through the prologue and thought to myself that this game hasn't got the exposure that it deserves. Allow me to go through a brief review here, and then you can watch the stream for yourself to see if this game is right for you. 

Game Overview:

• New Player Experience - From the moment that you start the game it explains everything and the story is engulfing. 
• Downloadable Content - Confirmed, but we do not know what yet.
• Replayability - From what I played you could drop hundreds of hours into this, and some TG members already have.
• Bugs and Issues - There was a devastating bug where players got their entire character deleted but it has been confirmed fixed
• What makes the game unique? - Gear, gear, and gear. This game is breathtakingly beautiful and has a concept that mixes versions of Destiny and Gears of War. 
• What makes it a great TG title? - Clear teamwork needed. The battles are brutal and the difficulty scales to the amount of teammates. 
• Longevity - Square Enix, one of the developers for Gears of War, is also one of the main developers for Outriders. I believe that they will keep this game going and stocked with new content. 
• How does it compare to other similar games? - It really will remind you of Gears of War with the movement and play style, but I do not have enough info to speculate here. 
• Value- Right now this game is on sale for $44.99, and Epic games is giving an additional 10-15% off bringing it into the $30 range. This is a great value.
• Conclusion and Overall Rating of the Game (based on a score of 1-10) - Hard to give it a number with only two hours of play, but I believe this is a solid 7 or maybe 8 so far. 

Don't let me keep talking about it; the best thing I can do for you is show you. Below is my first and second hour of gameplay with special guest @mikepaluso explaining the specifics.
