As scary as the game can be вЂ“ and it can be pretty darn scary вЂ“ it starts to lose the horror element due to the games trial and error gameplay. This is where the game starts taking a downhill turn. For the first few hours its fun, being conservative of both your camera and your bandages is suspenseful, but after a couple of hours of running in the dark trying to conserve your battery, just to die at the end of the road just isnвЂ™t as fun. Running around, looking for bandages (health), documents (collectibles) and batteries (night vision for the camera) are gameplay mechanics that are very familiar with the original title that made its way over to the sequel.

The towns youвЂ™ll come across are dated, houses are crippled and have seen their day. As I stated before, Red Barrels manage to really emphasize on the story thanks to great worldbuilding. Going in blind to the world just as Blake does, manages to capture the sense of surprise, horror, and suspense much better. The scariest moments of Outlast 2 is when youвЂ™re alone in a cornfield under the bright light of the moon shining down not knowing if someone is watching you, the feeling of eyes on the back of your neck, and Outlast 2 captures this precious feeling over and over again throughout the entire game. Jump scares come in good spurts and is not overly used which is great because jump scares are cheap scares that prove that your film/game is not as scary as it should be. Turning the corner, opening a window, or unlocking a door always had my adrenaline on high alert. IвЂ™m a massive horror junkie and it only took to about a half hour before I started to feel this sense of dredВ while playing the game. The horror genre will need to be something youвЂ™re comfortable with if you wish to see Outlast 2 to the end. This is where the story kicks off, and this will be the last details of the story I recap as I feel a story like this should be experienced from knowing as little as possible. After surviving the crash, you come to learn that your wife has been taken by a very strange group of people. You two are investigating a very brutal murder when your helicopter crashes. You play as Blake Langermann, a cameraman for your wife Lynn. Outlast 2 takes place in the middle of nowhere in Arizona. They manage to do this in Outlast 2 as well, however, it is 10x better than the original thanks to excellent world building and lore. But on top of all that cliche nonsense, Red Barrels managed to hook the player with an engaging story. The game had clichГ© horror moments like jump scares, dark corridors, and high-speed chases from scary looking creatures. Developers Red Barrels are back with the follow-up title to the original Outlast, which was one of the scariest games in recent times.
