Out of all the games I played this year, People Can Fly’s Outriders is the one I have no memory of at all. And that’s unusual.
With so many games that came out in 2021, it’s natural that some won’t be as memorable as others. But this year, one game has the dubious honor of being the most unmemorable game I’ve played in 2021. That game is Outriders. In case you’ve forgotten, Outriders was released earlier this year — in April to be specific. I put several hours into Outriders when it first launched — for equal parts professional and personal reasons. I had to review the game for Android Central, for which I wrote at the time. And I was looking forward to it. It seemed like it had the capacity to be something interesting, and its Mass Effect Andromeda-meets-Destiny story hook caught me, I admit.
