Outridershas been occupying a small space in the looter-shooter genre for a little over a year now, having gone through a rather rough launch and a subsequent struggle to retain players.Outriderswas developed by People Can Fly, the Polish studio behind much of theGears of Warseries along with 2011’s chaotic and successfulBulletstormfirst-person shooter. The game received middling reviews, with players generally enjoying the loot and gunplay but struggling with bugs and server issues due to the game’s always-online requirement. People Can Fly has pushed a number of updates since release in order to address some of these issues, with more changes coming withWorldslayer.
