Outriders are the only looter shooter that’s managed to capture the frantic, ability-centric gameplay of dungeon crawlers and meld it with the looter shooter genre. Borderlands is typically referenced as “Diablo with guns,” but that franchise is focused on weapons first and abilities second.

Not Outriders. Players can turn enemies into molecular dust with time-bending blades as a Trickster or light entire rooms aflame as a Pyromancer. Loot flies out of enemies and drops pods as if guns were going out of style. And thanks to Outriders’ excellent gear modding system, players can feel like destruction incarnate for their entire playthrough. Not many looter shooters handle loot and abilities as well as Outriders.
