Outriders Review - It’s Actually Good! And Is Kojima Heading To Xbox?

After a week of playing Outriders, Dylan posted his review and has fallen for the games combat, loot and power systems. Is it without faults? Of course not, and Ashley and Ciaran discuss their thoughts on the game as well as some of their complaints. We also touch on the shaky launch period, and why you shouldn’t attack community managers online.

Also on the show this week there are rumours Hideo Kojima could be joining forces with Xbox, Apple Arcade gets a massive update to its library, E3 2021 is going all-digital and much more — including a Ciaran v Buddy update.
