Outriders' blend of wickedly fun sci-fi shooting & looting is well worth enduring its lackluster story and rough edges.
There's no better way to enjoy your PS5 than with friends, so here's our picks of the best co-op games on the console.
I own a Switch and have never played co-op on it. I do play Elden Ring , Demons Souls and some other co/op games with my friends on PS5. Baldurs Gate 3 is the next game I’ll play co-op. Can’t do that on a Switch
I was thinking for couch casual immediate fun.. not online coop games that require some adaptation.
From Xbox Wire: "Fight to survive on a hostile planet, a massive fantasy world, or to qualify for retirement care this weekend during Free Play Days.

In addition, The Elder Scrolls Online is available for an extended time from now until Monday, August 29 at 6:59 a.m. PDT."
SQUARE ENIX® today announced that OUTRIDERS™ will be available to play for free on Steam from Monday June 20th to Thursday June 23rd.
It's extremely generic. It's not bad but it reminds me of the period between 2007 and 2009 where gears introduced cover shooters so almost everyone went out and made a unreal engine 3 cover shooter.
It feels like that to destiny
For some it is. At launch, I expect more people felt that way. It also had tons of technical issues back then, at least on PC. I tried it after the New Horizons expansion later last year. I found the campaign enjoyable enough, even if not an amazing one. The gameplay was pretty fun, the story was pretty pants (but how many games can say otherwise lol). Still had some bugs even then, though.
I've no idea what is in the newest expansion, but if it ever piqued your interest, I'd suggest giving it a shot. It might give you 20-30 hours of fun before it fizzles out. Maybe I'll look into this expansion, see what's what.
I'm having fun with it.
Originally avoided it having heard of the issues around launch.
It has been sitting on Gamepass so finally downloading it the other day.
I'm about 3 hours in, have my Trickster class at level ten, and it's a pretty good time.
Don't know if I'll end up beating it or not, but I'd give it a solid 8 so far, personally.

I played through the entire campaign. It was very generic. The story was mediocre and the technical issues on PC were pretty bad. They patched it up quite a bit. It plays better now. I can say the only reason why I enjoyed it was because I missed Division 2-type gameplay but was was tired of running around the same areas in New York. The endgame is just an enemy hitpoint multiplier where a tiny creature has 20,000 HP. It's too bullet-spongy.
Nice to see big websites like IGN take their time with a review. Can’t give a reliable view on a game like this for at least a couple of weeks.
The bugs are ironed out
It's a solid 8/9 game now
I couldn't sign in. I had to delete the game & reinstall it just to play. The game is fun but it has technical issues.
I agree with a lot of points in this review, I wish they touched on a very important one that, if you ask me breaks the game. In Co-op the enemies scale to 100% extra health and damage when others join. For example I can clear a T13 expedition solo but if I let people join my game, all the sudden i am shooting marshmallows at basic enemies. While this may not be an issue if you're playing with friends because you can know their builds. I've had plenty of times where my damage was over 100 million, where-as my Co-op partners were well under 20 mil. This makes the game laborious and honestly not fun. They need to change the system to make it take into account the damage output of team members before scaling the enemies.
Without reading anything , the number indicates that nothing new here , they should try something new which is another way of chasing destiny ghost, which is an insufficient way of covering the whole thing from all different angles , nice try ign , try harder next time.
