If you’ve ever felt pangs of jealousy
as the Xbox owner you know
bragged about Gears Of War, this
new shooter is sure to temper
those feelings. Created by that
series’ Polish co-developer, People
Can Fly, this is about as close to the famed Xbox
dudebro shooter as you could hope to get on
PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.Earth is in flames. We’ve screwed that planet up.
But have no fear: mankind’s last hope for survival
have set their sights on Enoch, an Earth-like paradise
ripe for settling. After landing and establishing base
camp we explore and chat. Comically, we’re told
“the internet will be up soon,” as apparently being
able to catch up with TikTok is a priority. Before
we can properly meet everyone, however, our new
nirvana reveals its ugly side. Black goo rises from the
ground and poisons our fellow outriders – cowboys
in oversized body armour – and an alien storm
sweeps through the valley. Everyone and everything
gets zapped into dust. Our only hope of survival is to
crawl into a cryogenic pod and hope things will have
improved when we awake... 31 years later.MUD ‘N’ BLOOD
Stumbing from our pod, the lush green landscape
of Enoch has been reduced to muddy trenches and
the scars of war – ruined buildings and the dead
litter the landscape. Colonists and their descendants
battle one another for control of the planet. SomeOUTRIDERS
