March 2025
Outlast 2 is a decent game overall, but it falls short compared to the first one in terms of atmosphere and horror. The good: they added healing and crawling mechanics, and the religious themes are interesting. The game also leans hard into gross-out horror (feces, gore, childbirth, etc.), which can be unsettling. But the bad outweighs the good: it’s not scary, just annoying — endless chases from unimpressive monsters and constant flashbacks of the protagonist’s past break the tension. Instead of dread, you get frustration. The first Outlast was terrifying; this one is just exhausting. Fans might still try it, but don’t expect the same level of horror as the original.

Outlast 2 is a game where you play as a hard Christian believer who goes to an atheist community to purify and convert them all into good god-loving Christians. it's perfect for educating your children about the bible. 10/10

it's not scary as the first game because it's lean more on psychological horror and it has less in tense chases like the first game, But ngl the graphic and atmosphere are pretty good give it try if you enjoy horror games

Outlast 1 > Outlast 2 It's not horrible. There are some great ideas in this, which unfortunately can't be appreciated the first time you go through the game, since it's very hard to process what the hell is even going on. I swear there is a point to all of this, but sometimes less is more and here I'm referring to the chase scenes. The first game just had the exact right amount and the second one really pushes you from one hunt to the next without any stop. If you like that, then by all means have fun with it. Also don't do the insane run. Just don't...

One of the best survival and horror style games can be called Daring In my opinion, the game has a good story line In terms of graphics, it has very good graphics compared to the year it was made There are different enemies in the game which makes the game not boring Another part that is very attractive and one of the scariest parts of the game is the flashback inside the school and we can see Jessica's story. In general, it is a good game and for those who like horror style, this is my first suggestion But there is a problem (where is the DLC?)
