While my early look at Worldslayer’s campaign was promising, this new story content will eventually end. Outriders is now in top form, so Worldslayer gives People Can Fly the chance to continue engaging players with more story content and new levels to explore and fight hordes of enemies. This fight kept me on my toes, and I’d consider it one of the best Outriders’ boss fights yet. He wielded two sharp blades and could quickly spin towards me and chop down my health bar if I wasn’t careful. This culminated with a new boss called the Fisherman, a ghost of myth tied to Driftwater and the town’s bell. It turns out that Driftwater wasn’t as abandoned as I thought, as my team was ambushed by Insurgents when looking for a boat. Meanwhile, Driftwater is as eerie and atmospheric as you’d expect an abandoned fishing village to be.Īlthough the game’s linear-level design approach hasn’t changed much with this expansion, the combat and enemy design have only improved. Still, it capped off with a thrilling fight against a giant Snow Behemoth that wasn’t afraid to quickly charge at and decimate me if I got its attention. Glacier’s Edge was a short and story-driven level where the stakes of the worsening anomaly and Ereshkigal were teased. Enemies of all sizes, shapes, and forms attacked me from the ground and the air, and using my Altered’s powers was essential for survival. Although the game’s linear-level design approach hasn’t changed much with this expansion, the combat and enemy design have only improved. In the first two levels of Worldslayer, I explored the snowy Glacier’s Edge and the abandoned Driftwater village. In fighting it back, the expansion brings players to plenty of new places on the alien planet of Enoch and forces them to take on the Insurgents and their altered leader, Ereshkigal. The raging Anomaly storm is exponentially worsening despite the player’s efforts in Outriders’ campaign. Worldslayer takes place immediately after the events of Outriders’ plot, and its story is as over-the-top, gruff, and hilariously edgy as ever. While it’s not revolutionizing Outriders, Worldslayer plays to the game’s strengths and will energize and extend playtime by hundreds of hours for hardcore players.
