    The gameplay of "Hood: Outlaws & Legends" presents a unique blend of stealth and PvPvE mechanics, but it suffers from significant issues such as clunky combat, repetitive gameplay, and unbalanced mechanics that detract from the overall experience. While some players appreciate the tactical elements and character variety, many express frustration with the assassination mechanics and the lack of depth in gameplay, leading to a chaotic and often unsatisfying match dynamic.

    • “One of the game's standout features is its innovative gameplay mechanics, which allows players to control a group of characters and work together to complete missions.”

    • “The core gameplay is pretty solid, I love it.”

  • graphics165 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the beautiful environments and art style, while others criticize the outdated visuals and performance issues. Some players find the graphics stunning and immersive, contributing positively to the overall atmosphere, while others feel they fall short of modern standards, likening them to older generation graphics.

    • “The graphics are stunning, the game makes me so excited, I do love to see their roadmap this year.”

  • stability104 mentions

    The game's stability is a significant concern among players, with numerous reports of bugs, glitches, and poor optimization affecting gameplay.

    • “The game is not buggy; I've only seen pathfinding problems, which are AI-related issues.”
    • “The game is extremely buggy, bots are insanely strong in normal combat because of bugs, so stealth is the only option.”
    • “Player base died eventually because of the poor changes that were made and the terrible/buggy squad system and matchmaking at release.”
    • “The game is buggy as hell, they clearly set the focus on console play.”
  • story90 mentions

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its absence, with many players noting that there is no single-player mode or engaging narrative to enhance the experience. While some appreciate the innovative gameplay mechanics and the potential for a richer story based on the Robin Hood legend, the lack of character development and varied mission types leads to a repetitive and uninspired gameplay loop. Overall, players express a desire for a more structured narrative and cooperative missions that could elevate the game from its current state.

    • “Moreover, the storyline of Hood is engaging and keeps you hooked from beginning to end.”
    • “If this was a 4-player story adventure where you work together to rob and eventually take down the sheriff, it would have been one of my favorite games of all time.”
    • “I love how they implemented the story and made a game out of it.”
    • “There's no proper single player mode here, there's no story of any kind (even the characters aren't properly explained), etc. what we have here is an online game and that's it.”
    • “Not much content as what I expected, no story mode, not much character, one type game mode only (heist).”
    • “Its mainly a PvP game with no story and boring as hell.”
  • optimization59 mentions

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting significant performance issues, including stuttering, low frame rates, and lag, particularly on PC. While some users found the game to run smoothly on certain setups, the general consensus highlights that it is poorly optimized for PC, often feeling like a console port with inadequate adjustments. Overall, the game suffers from bugs and quality of life issues that detract from the experience, leading to frustration among players.

    • “It is perfectly optimized.”
    • “The game is well-optimized and runs at a solid 60fps.”
    • “The graphics are pretty decent and the game is really well optimized.”
    • “Poor optimization, buggy, low player numbers.”
    • “Game is very poorly optimized, combat is lackluster and nothing really special about this game.”
    • “This game is poorly optimized and the PvP is so scuffed it's not even funny.”
  • replayability40 mentions

    The game's replayability is a mixed bag, with some players praising its randomized elements and addictive gameplay that encourage multiple playthroughs, while others criticize its limited content and repetitive nature after a few hours. Many reviewers express a desire for more characters and game modes to enhance replay value, suggesting that current offerings may not sustain long-term interest. Overall, while there are enjoyable mechanics and potential for replayability, significant improvements are needed to keep players engaged over time.

    • “The game is replayable because the key, vault, and the extraction location are randomized with the different maps that are available.”
    • “The runtime, animations, graphics, and especially the whole atmosphere of the game are insane and really feel like a AAA game should feel. Battling other players at the end of a match makes for intense moments almost every game, and the replayability has been thought out very nicely too!”
    • “It's a great PvPvE game with huge replayability, because each match plays out differently.”
    • “The current state of the game makes it difficult to recommend when it feels all of what the game has to offer is shown up front and the depth, progression, and replayability that could be there, isn't.”
    • “Do not waste your money; the game has the depth of a fish tank and the replayability of watching paint dry!”
    • “There is only content for at least 20 hours and the replayability is almost 0.”
  • grinding38 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it tedious and unrewarding, often requiring excessive time investment for minimal payoff. While some appreciate the lack of microtransactions and the focus on cosmetics, others criticize the shallow progression system and repetitive gameplay that can lead to boredom. Overall, players suggest that the grinding experience could benefit from more meaningful rewards and improvements to the game's mechanics.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “A bit grindy sometimes.”
    • “You can buy all the cosmetics with the in-game currency, not very grindy.”
    • “Beyond that, the game seems tedious and unrewarding.”
    • “The lack of end game rewards gives you little reason to be invested in grinding, and even if you were, the small number of skins means you could quickly unlock everything.”
    • “That would have been fine if the game were actually fun - but it wasn't, it was just grinding, frustrating and same-y.”
  • humor34 mentions

    The humor in the game is often described as a mix of intentional and unintentional comedy, stemming from quirky gameplay mechanics, amusing bugs, and the chaotic interactions between players and AI. Many reviewers highlight the fun of playing with friends, where moments of laughter arise from both the absurdity of the game and the banter among players. While some aspects of the game can be frustrating, the overall experience is frequently characterized as entertaining and filled with humorous situations.

    • “Really fun game to play with a squad, had some epic plays and some funny moments.”
    • “The AI in this game is hilariously bad, and the hitboxes just add to the joke.”
    • “I'd say it's more entertaining than necessarily good, as it can be hilarious watching bodies get yeeted across the map, or watching three people run around in a circle like chickens with their heads cut off trying to assassinate each other.”
    • “This is true, but you're not funny.”
    • “The jokes fall flat and feel forced.”
    • “I expected more laughs, but it just wasn't humorous.”
  • monetization29 mentions

    The monetization aspect of the game has been widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, with many users expressing disappointment over the lack of meaningful content updates and the focus on selling battle passes and DLC outfits. While some players appreciate the absence of microtransactions at launch, the overall sentiment suggests that the developers prioritize profit over gameplay quality, leading to a negative perception of the game's financial model. Despite a few positive remarks about potential future updates, the prevailing view is that the current monetization strategy detracts from the game's experience.

    • “On top of all that, they are boasting no microtransactions outside their battle pass.”
    • “It's nice to see a game not try to push microtransactions on launch day and instead have a few unlockable skins.”
    • “I do like and appreciate their monetization of their game, with free updates coming in the near future.”
    • “However, as it stands, it seems like a huge cash grab without any regard for the actual gameplay.”
    • “It is very clear that the company used this game (that had a whole lot of potential, might I add) as a quick cash grab considering they're constantly updating the season pass but not adding anything to the actual game itself.”
    • “Just seems like it was a cash grab by the developers and I wouldn't recommend buying it in its current state.”
  • music22 mentions

    The game's music has received mixed reviews, with many praising the epic soundtrack and its ability to enhance the gaming experience, particularly in intense situations. However, some players feel that the final battle's music is lacking and could be improved, while others express a desire for more dynamic and situational tracks throughout the game. Overall, while the music is generally well-received, there are calls for greater variety and intensity to better match gameplay moments.

    • “The graphics and sound design are equally impressive, with beautifully detailed environments and atmospheric music that draw you into the game world.”
    • “Great music, intense and fitting for situations.”
    • “Dynamic music always delights me, and this game has it.”
    • “Only the soundtrack for the final battle should be changed and a better, more intense soundtrack should be added in its place.”
    • “The game becomes not just annoying due to what I've said so far, but boring, giving you zero reasons or motivation to keep playing it, especially as a solo player. The music will make you go to bed faster than even total silence.”
    • “I also wished that there would be more music because the music in the game is almost non-existent.”
  • atmosphere19 mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is widely praised for its dark, gritty aesthetic and impressive graphics, which effectively immerse players in a detailed and atmospheric world. While many reviewers highlight the game's ability to evoke a strong sense of place, some note that certain gameplay elements can detract from the overall tension and immersion. Overall, the combination of stunning visuals, sound design, and thematic consistency creates a compelling atmosphere that enhances the gaming experience.

    • “The graphics and sound design are equally impressive, with beautifully detailed environments and atmospheric music that draw you into the game world.”
    • “The atmosphere and design is top notch, especially if you're a fan of low fantasy.”
    • “The textures are mostly highly detailed and the lighting of the Unreal Engine really helps build an amazing atmosphere and style.”
    • “Doesn't truly set the tension or atmosphere of a heist, which can make your immersion in the game fall flat at a certain point, and that just sucks.”
    • “The winch mechanic is stupid and breaks the atmosphere of the game, while also forcing janky melee combat in which a team of players dominate.”
  • character development9 mentions

    Overall, character development in the game is highlighted by its fun and visually appealing character designs, which contribute to a unique gameplay experience. While team play and strategy are essential, some players note that the character development mechanics could be improved, as they feel somewhat flawed. Nonetheless, the variety of unlockable outfits and weapons adds depth to the character customization experience.

    • “I really like the art style, levels, character design (both mechanics-wise and visually), and the fact that premade groups almost always perform better.”
    • “On the bright side though, this really is a new feel to a game where you don't necessarily have to deal with the generics like battle royales, sport games, etc. I do very much like the character designs, and every possible outfit or weapon is unlockable besides a DLC which is the Fallen Order or something like that.”
    • “This is a flaw in the game mechanics and her character design.”
    • “It requires team play, a dab of character development, and a little bit of strategy.”
    • “There's also character design.”
  • emotional9 mentions

    Players express a strong emotional connection to the game through its engaging twists and well-developed characters, which foster investment in the narrative. However, frustrations arise from gameplay issues and bugs, leading some to feel disappointed and question the game's value. Overall, while the emotional depth is appreciated, technical shortcomings detract from the experience for many users.

    • “The game features many twists and turns that leave you guessing, and the well-developed characters make it easy to become emotionally invested in the game world.”
    • “The game has some bugs and can use some touching up, but it is definitely worth 30 bucks and has some real potential.”
    • “Before I get into the review, I am currently max level within the game and achieved this within around 35 hours of gameplay, a lot of which was solo. From levels 1-80, I was a die-hard Robin one-trick, not even touching the other characters until levels 80-100. Although this may be the case, I understand the characters well and feel as though I have adequate experience on each one.”
