    Presenting the lore of Robin Hood in a whole new way, there’s a really fun and unique game in Hood: Outlaws and Legends. While it has a number of balancing issues that can impact matchmaking in various ways, it’s all wonderful when it works. Hood is a game that frustrated me on numerous occasions, but was also one of the most thrilling and distinctive multiplayer stealth experiences since Assassin’s Creed’s multiplayer modes. With some long term love and care, Hood has a ton of potential to really stand out. Hopefully that means the growth of the community with it in order to establish the kind of healthy player base that a multiplayer title needs.

    Lacking a story, bot matches, or any other form of single-player content, Hood: Outlaws and Legends is committed to a very specific multiplayer model that may or may not have legs. The game feels unbalanced, populated by a large number of surprisingly high-level players wreaking havoc on newbies, and squads interested in subverting the flow of gameplay. Some of these issues will get ironed out in time with tweaks to balance and matchmaking but what remains is still a fairly limited experience even under ideal circumstances. Additional modes, a wider variety of classes and especially, some sort of alternative to PvP combat would all potentially bring Hood: Outlaws and Legends’ fundamentally solid gameplay to a wider audience and give it a chance at longevity.

    Hood: Outlaws & Legends features an impressive amalgamation of gameplay elements that will have you hooked. However, its overall gameplay loop will start to become monotonous sooner than you'd hope due to its repetitious nature.

    Hood: Outlaws & Legends does not make enough of its good opportunities and disappoints with monotonous rounds and small scope.

    Hood: Outlaws & Legends has a strong premise on paper and at times is fun and exciting, but its gameplay shortcomings mean that it never reaches its full potential.

    There’s a framework for a good multiplayer game here in Hood: Outlaws & Legends, but it needs tweaking and building upon to truly give it legs. A PvE mode that actually awards progression would be welcome, too. As it stands, the clunky close combat, somewhat unbalanced characters, and a single match type results in a game that doesn’t quite meet its potential. Despite its frustrations though, it’s at least fun to play – well, until the action starts to begin feeling repetitive, which doesn’t take all that long unfortunately.

    Hood: Outlaws & Legends tries too hard to mesh different game types into one unified multiplayer experience, and its lofty ambitions get buried under clashing elements. What could have been an exciting co-op title ended up a frustrating slog, and in a heist — whether it’s a movie or a game — if the main caper ain’t good, the rest doesn’t matter.

    Amazing game! Can’t wait for the DLC in year 1. Couldn’t put the game down all weekend. Once you get a grasp of the game’s mechanics andAmazing game! Can’t wait for the DLC in year 1. Couldn’t put the game down all weekend. Once you get a grasp of the game’s mechanics and character specialties, it gets even better. Give it a chance past the first few multiplayer games and you’ll be hooked. Even better if you have a regular squad to play with.

    I can’t think of a better 4v4 multiplayer game made since Factions in Last of Us. More of a strategy based game with a building intensity level until the last seconds of the game. Give it a chance!    … Expand

    I'm not big on writing reviews for games but for this, it is totally justified. And this game needs more support in the gaming community,I'm not big on writing reviews for games but for this, it is totally justified. And this game needs more support in the gaming community, because frankly its outstanding. Its rare that I go to sleep thinking about a game. But this is like chess but with a bow and arrow and a death hammer. The stategy and gameplay of this new style of pvp is incredible and I am truly addicted. It also looks and feels outstanding, with force feedback on the triggers its next level and truly pushing the envelope of gaming . I cannot recommend it enough. Its takes awhile to formulate in your brain, but when it does, I guarantee you will be hooked. Well done guys, on making a truly unique and enjoyable gaming experience.… Expand

    remaining in the shadows
    hood outlaws and legends is a 4 team pvpve heist game, you choose one of 4 characters all with their unique feel and abilities and attempt to complete a heist all while competing against another team of 4 trying to do the same,
    gameplay wise this is very stealth focused, you attempt to not raise too much attention and pick of guards for your teams, claim spawn points on the map, while you or the rest of the team grabs a key from the sheriff, finds the fult room, takes the chest to the extraction point and defend your position from the enemy team.. and while on paper this sounds really fun, I was over the game after playing for only about 2 hours.. its just wasn’t all the fun for me.. sure this is a stealth game, but all of that goes out the window the minute the extraction process begins… and the combat here just isn’t fun… it feels button mashy and luck based, you never feel accomplished fighting off a group of enemies because htat rarely ever happens, its more likely youll take out one or 2 and the third will come from behind to get you… leading to a loop of respawn, reclaim spawn points for your team to be closer to the chest, and hope you can create large enough time window to be the team to finally get the extraction…
    I did have a bit of fun here and there, and you do level up each individual charcter to unlock new perks and cosmetics which I appreciate, really giving you incetive to master each class… but the gameplay just wasn’t there for me to care to do so… games feel like a bit of a mess, especially if youre playing with randoms without a mic.
    I do see potential for stealth lovers to sink their time into this game, but hood outlaws and legends just wasn’t for me.
    I give Hood Outlaws and Legends
