creepy night-vision camera shots, a defenseless protagonist, and chasing. So much chasing that playing ultimately feels like a chore than an actual game. Top it off with a horrendous payoff loaded with unanswered questions and you have yourself a sequel t...

Graphics and mechanics improved from the original, Spooky setting and dramatic sound design, Thought-provoking story
Many characters aren't fully fleshed out
Outlast 2 has all the makings of a good horror game: alarming visuals, intense situations, menacing antagonists, and an overwhelming feeling of powerlessness. Though I would have liked the world of Temple Gate to be developed more beyond Knoth's Gospel, I...
Creepy rural-Americana atmosphere, Screechy soundtrack and subtle sound design
Trial-and-error feedback loop kills any sense of tension, Poor pacing, too many chase sequences, Story goes nowhere important, characters flat

Pushes the limits of human decency and horror, Steady 60 FPS on PlayStation 4 Pro, Pure run & hide survival horror that's easy to pick up and difficult to put down
Chase sequences can be frustrating and lead to frequent deaths, Transitions into Blake's school delusions are jarring and often times feel out of place, Audio popping during first couple hours of gameplay (Headphone users beware!), Navigation is impossibl
Dripping with Christian lore and barrels worth of red blood, Outlast II is a gruesome horror experience that never lets up...
A perfect blend of gore, atmosphere, and tension. Scripted and unscripted moments provide countless moments of terror. Plot is one of the darkest Ive experienced in gaming
Cliffhanger ending leaves a few important things unanswered
