Devs are offering workarounds
I find it difficult to get excited about beefcakes hiding behind low walls inside grey metal warehouses, because that’s what I spent the mid-noughties doing. (And in games.) The looter shooterOutridershas pedigree behind it however, due to developers People Can Fly, and folks who played the game’s demo reported that it was dumb, satisfying fun.
It’s out today and I’m tempted to give it a go - although reports of performance issues on PC will probably cause me to hold off for now.
We played the game a couple of times at preview, and had a good time with it, as Alice L explained in this video:

In brief: it’s a looter shooter with a lot of stats and upgrades, but where those RPG-lite systems don’t interfere with the fundamental pleasure of making meaty brutes burst into their constituent parts.
Unfortunately the launch doesn’t appear to be going smoothly so far. Early user reviewson Steam are ‘mixed’, and those reviews andthe game’s Reddit pageboth mentioning stuttering issues and other bugs that weren’t present in the demo version of the game.
