    First I thought I couldn't cope with the stress this game brought me. Then I realized that the adrenaline pump was giving me a boost to keep it up and get addicted to it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This has got to be one of if not the most overrated horror sequel of all time. If you're going into this game expecting an immersive story, innovative gameplay, and non-stop scares, prepare to be disappointed. You have to do at least 8 minutes of research to even get an idea of what the hell's going on. You can read the letters sure, but they don't really explain a whole lot. The gameplay is literally no different from the first Outlast. You'd think they'd implement some sort of self-defense mechanic or arm you with something other than a **** $30 Walmart brand video camera. I'm not saying they should arm you with some of North Koreas most powerful nuclear weaponry but come on. At least impalement something like a light shove that gives you time to get away from whatever's attacking. That horror charm the first Outlast had has deliberately been replaced by gross out horror and unnecessary shock values in this game. You have the witch, who is so obviously meant to be a stand-in for Chris Walker. At least the first Outlast used Chris Walker sparingly. This game just overuses the witch so much to the point that any scary element to her is just non existent. It's not all that bad however. The school sections genuinely surprised me. I'd be lying if I said they didn't almost make me **** myself. I used to attend a Catholic school, and holy **** was that place terrifying at night. That would've been a great setting for an Outlast game. It's disappointing when you proceed to look at what we got instead. The school sections are the only reason why I didn't rate this game lower if I'm being perfectly honest. Needless to say, this game failed to live up to it's predecessor. It's a lazy mediocre sequel with an ending that leaves you bewildered and frustrated rather than wanting more. I am still immensely excited for the third installment next year. I just hope that Red Barrels has learned from their mistakes.… Expand

    grafikler güzel ama oynanış çok değişmemiş ayrıca ilk oyundaki sürekli gergin atmosferi aşırı kaçırmışlar ve korkuçluk saviyesi azalmış yine oynamama rağmen gidip steamden satın aldım.

    Outlast 2 is an entertaining thrill ride that is linear and easy to follow, granted you don't get turned around through a few doors or past some trees. After three complete play throughs and several back and forths to find collectibles that I missed, I can firmly recommend this adventure.

After three complete play throughs and several back and forths to find collectibles that I missed, I can firmly recommend this adventure. If you liked Silent Hill, Resident Evil, FEAR or other similar games, I believe you will enjoy this game. However, in Outlast 2, you have no weapons. You have to run, hide, or die. Enjoy!

    In comparing as a sequel, it seems inappropriate. Outlast 2 has a very different feel than the first Outlast release. The sense of urgency isn't quite the same, leaving me wondering why is he not more panicked, considering his predicament. I understood what was going on relatively quickly, but the story was still well told. The protagonist seemed relaxed and more like a curious detective at times, while other times it felt perfectly preformed.

    Outlast 2 pulls you in most of the time and you can enjoy the sensation it brings, but I do feel like Outlast 1 was more immersive.    … Expand

    After the first game, this game felt like a disappointment for me. Probably because it was too different than the first one? Also the first one had better plot and atmosphere I think. It's not a bad game, but just disappointing for me.

    Игра вообще не страшная, атмосферы нет. Совсем не то, чего можно ожидать от продолжения такого замечательного хоррора.

    Es bueno, tienen claro que en outlast 1 la distorsión de imagen por oscuridad se tenia que arreglar y se hizo, tiene algunos bugs los cuales son de movimiento y de forma de accesar a algunas áreas.
    Sí da sustos y pone al jugador en modo supervivencia.

    Good horror at the beginning. the game is already scary at the very beginning, towards the middle the game becomes "run and hide" optimization is normal, the game design is amazing

    The atmosphere of the game is well-crafted, creating a tense and frightening environment that pulls players in. The gameplay is also noteworthy, providing a satisfying and engaging experience. Based on my positive experience with the game, I recommend it to others who enjoy horror games.

    O que dizer dessa obra prima? Um dos melhores jogos de terror que já joguei, se não o melhor! Tem um clima bastante pesado que eu acho muito difícil fazerem um jogo assim nos dias atuais, muita gente reclama que não tem armas e não da pra bater mas o jogo só é assustador justamente por causa disso, sua única opção é fugir e se esconder!

    At first I thought it was a good game, but when I played it, I discovered that it was just a repetition, just run and hide, and the gameplay is rather boring

    Honestly after a few hours I had to get a refund while I could. And honestly what I got to complain about is what everyone else did who disliked the game too.Honestly after a few hours I had to get a refund while I could.

    A faltering sequel that borrows even more liberally from well-worn horror tropes than its predecessor, Outlast 2 ends up a middling entry despite its high production values and some shining moments of found footage fright.

    Red Barrels built the sequel on the tried more of the same principle, but this is by far is not the worst problem of the second installment.

    Instead of the standard entertainment, we received unnecessarily over-combined horror game with atmosphere incomparable to the original one. [Issue#275]
