Alike what was previously cited about the game, we are introduced to the three-party cast of characters as they begin their journey through the hostile planet of Enoch. Given from the chunk of gameplay that was presented, there is plenty to say about Outriders: one is that the game is visually pleasing. Especially seeing that the project will most likely release alongside the latest next generation hardware later in 2020, the amount of graphical impacts and moving objects is overwhelming, yet satisfying to see in a game like this.
