This game understands what makes the genre tick: the loot needs to be tantalising, adding new creativity to the ubiquitous shooting, which needs to be fun enough to repeat for hours. You pick up that gun, read the description, you are excited to try it out, and the results do not disappoint. While perhaps not the sort of thing you would bring up at the school gates, this bodes extremely well.

T he first proper gun you pick up in Outriders, the latest looter-shooter where you run around sci-fi warzones blasting everything that moves, detonates enemies’ bones.
