I wont talk about the technical issues, I've personally encountered very few bugs and crashes, even though theres people with half my play time with twice the issues. I would recommend this game, but it needs a few months, or a year.

Now, my real issues with the game are all gameplay related. I might be a little biased, as I was hoping that Outriders would be a permanent part of my game rotation along with Borderlands, Destiny, and Warframe. Im only going to mention the issues, as all the good of this game is pretty evident.

The classes: This is a big problem. Devastators have good anomaly powers, but usually less than average damage with pretty good tanking. Tricksters are just gun damage, even if they were nerfed. Technomancers are gun damage with a smidge of utility and decent survivability. Pyromancers are below average gun damage, below average anomaly damage, and below average survivability.

So that sounds like Pyros are just getting ♥♥♥♥ on, right? Not exactly, seeing as some of the other classes builds also encounter pretty heavy resistance with the enemies insane scaling. Super stacked end game builds (One for each class, basically), are going to be able to do things fairly decently, but anything else just wont.

Nerfs are something that I like to justify usually. Lots of things in games need nerfs for balancing purpose. Nerfs in this case, are unwarranted. Just nerfing gun damage abilities, which neuters a lot of other non meta builds, and no buffs in sight to anomaly power or survivability or anything else.

Grinding: Its basically warframe levels of grind, and thats just to make it to CT 15, because drop rates are really low until you reach really high levels. In order to reach those higher levels you practically need to have close to god rolled gear, but because drop rates are so low.....you see what I mean? Its pretty annoying.

Enemies: Really overtuned. Like. Really overtuned.
