Hood: Outlaws and Legends out now on PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. According to our resident reviewer, “The nature of online play means matches are not always going to play out the way the developers hoped they would, but it is definitely still worth a try, especially if you have some buddies you can play online with, which would definitely improve the experience and ensure you get a bit more bang for your buck.”
