Outlast 2, like the first game, is a true survival horror title, in that you have no weapons and no means of fighting back. The locals aren’t going to make it that easy, however. Blake soon discovers that this group is obsessed with sex and pregnancy, and Lynn has become the new focus of that obsession, building a powerful personal motivation for finding her and escaping as quickly as possible. This supposedly empty mountainous region is actually home to a massive Jonestown-esque religious cult. When the helicopter crashes, and Blake and Lynn are separated, he quickly discovers that something very wrong is happening. You take on the role of Blake, a cameraman who has joined his journalist wife Lynn on a helicopter ride into the deserts of Arizona, tracking the story of a mysterious murdered woman. Though apparently set in the same fictional universe as the first game, Outlast 2 has no obvious or direct ties to the original, and no knowledge of what happened last game is required. Call it sadistic, but if Outlast 2’s goal was to make me feel like I was going mad, it accomplished it. And yet, here, at the end of my time with it, I can’t help but feel like it is an extremely successful game precisely because it affected me as powerfully as it did. That rest was shortened by nightmares, naturally.įor some readers, all of this preamble probably sounds bad, and while I was in the midst of playing Outlast 2 I often felt bad about it. Several times, I had to stop playing completely, at one point forcing myself to take a nap in order to calm down. I found myself screaming at my computer louder than usual, shaking with a mix of fear and anxiety. Outlast 2 pushed much further than most other entries in the genre, though. I devote a lot of my time to scary books, films and games - including the original Outlast, released in 2013, a game that I found sufficiently frightening if not necessarily groundbreaking. Unforgettable experience, Highly recommended 100%.No game has ever fucked me up quite as badly as Outlast 2.
This game will make you terrorized, stressed out, weirded out, disturbed and maybe traumatized. If you're looking for fun stuff, so this is definitely not for you.
The graphics and the visuals are insane, these graphics are basically one of the best things I've ever seen in a video game, truly impressive and visually stunning. The setting is on point, both Temple Gate and the School are amazingly designed. The soundtrack and the sound effects added more to the experience, it help the game to create its eerie aesthetics. sadly) in both storytelling and narrative design. The story writing was incredible, extremely complex and mature (something we barely see in gaming these days. Of course the story in the first Outlast is better, the characters development is better, but that's not the point. It didn't even try to be like that, Red Barrels just have the power of horror, to create a masterful horror story. Outlast II is a bloody, gory, controversial, messed up and disturbed work of pure art. But now I got the chance to play it again, and now I understand it. I played this game for the first time a long time ago, I hated it and left me disappointed, maybe because it didn't live up with the first game.
