With the last days on Earth imminent, humans have honed their technology to leave the planet and seek life elsewhere in the universe. After the first ship failed to leave the hangar, the second ship, The Flores, takes flight with thousands of cryopods carrying humanity to their next destination. After finding a habitable planet, the first set of pods are released to explore the newly discovered planet and create a new home for our species to thrive in. As with most sci-fi games, things don't quite go as planned and the first settlers come eye to eye with a strange anomaly that will either kill you or grant you powers well beyond any human could imagine. When staying on the foreign planet no longer sounds like the best idea, you're unfortunately dropped back into your cryopod for a few more decades, just to awaken to a war-ridden world where famine and greed have taken over. As the last surviving Outrider, it'll be up to you to discover the truth about how your people got this way and, even more importantly, how to fix it.
Demo/Early Access Progress and YOU!: ... so you played through the game before it was released. Well, aren't you just a fancy pants mcgee. If you took part in the demo days or participated in the early access program, your progress will carry over from that save file. This won't be the full game, though, as not all of the story-related quests were available in this early build.
Autopops and YOU!: ... so played through the game on the PS4/PS5 and earned yourself the platinum. Well, aren't you a fancy pants mcgee x2! If you played on the PS4 and download the game onto a PS5 console, all of the trophies will autopop for you when you start the game. The same goes for the opposite. If you played the game on your PS5 and install it on a PS4 console (or use the PS5's BC feature), start up the game and all of the trophies will autopop for you.
World Tiers and YOU!: The difficulty settings of this game are tied to what is known as "World Tiers". Everyone will start on Tier 1, aka the easiest difficulty available. From there, you'll need to complete quests, accolades etc. to unlock Tier 2. By default, your World Tier will automatically change to the currently available highest tier. You can change back via the Map Menu. In order to unlock the next tier, you must play on the highest available Tier so Tier 3 will only unlock if you play on Tier 2. Tier 4 will only unlock if you play on Tier 3, etc. In total, there are 15 Tiers you can unlock. The higher the Tier, the more difficult the game will be but also the better loot you'll get. Just to put it as a reference, I'd personally rate the platinum on Tier 1 at about a 3-3.5. I only opened up to Tier 5 which easily bumped the difficulty of the game up to about a 5-5.5 (solo play). If you want to play with other people, you are more than welcomed to do so. The World Tier will need to be set by whoever is hosting the party and only the Tiers they have unlocked will be available.
Your Outrider Class and YOU!: There are 4 Classes available to play in the game: Pyromancer (medium-range), Trickster (close-range), Devastator (close-range) and Technomancer (long-range). There's no "right" class to play for trophies. They will all take equally the same amount of time to complete the accolades and complete the story. The one you choose should be determined by your preferred playstyle. If you like standing back and more so firing at your enemies, Pyromancer or Technomancer will be good for you. If you enjoy a tanking class that can take a massive amount of damage, you'd like the Devastator. If you want to be up close and personal with your foes and look into their eyes as you take them out, Trickster could be fun. You'll get to choose your class after playing the Prologue so be sure to look them all over and decide which one you prefer. The Mods you get from dismantling items will change depending on which class you get so whichever you choose, the game will alter to give you the best experience possible.
Patches: Make sure you are playing on game version 1.07 or higher. The patches included in this version fixed the server and disconnect issues and also address the glitch some player's have run into of their inventories being wiped. This version also adds more markers to the world and minimaps, making some of the side quests much easier. If you're playing on the PS4, the loading times will be a little on the rough side but if you're playing on the PS5, you shouldn't have an issue.
Walkthrough:
Please note that while this walkthrough is split up into two steps, you can work on everything as you play through the story except for the Expeditions which only unlock after you complete the main story. The steps are split up in a "main focus" and "easy to cleanup" manner but please feel free to combine them if you're looking to work on all the jazz in one score.
Step 1: Play through the game while completing the side quests and working on your class accolades
There are no missable trophies in the game so how you play it is be up to you. You can do the collectibles and side quests as you go through the story or you can clean them up after. Due to the quest rewards, it is recommended you try and do the side quests as you play along. All of them will appear on your Maps once they become available except for one - Forbidden Chapel. This is the only side quest that won't have an actual "!" to start it. In fact, it won't actually have a tracker until you're almost done with it. For more information on that, please see Squaretasking


You'll make really good progression towards One for the Books


When you complete the side quest "The Outrider's Legacy", you'll be rewarded a Legendary item, no matter what World Tier you're playing on so be sure to equip it for Spoils of War

The only other thing to even remotely worry about is the World Tier. As stated before, this determines the difficulty of your game. If you find yourself struggling through a section, you can drop down to a lower tier. If you find yourself breezing through everything, you can bump it up. Changing this has 0 effect on the trophies so be sure to use it as needed.
