    Hello there. Did you miss me? Here we are with the Whistleblower review... an add-on to the Outlast game, that blows... literally. This stuff blows. It's so bad, it makes me laugh. While, I must admit, I finished both Outlast and this expansion, because I was interested in the story, I must say even that disappointed me. I'm not gonna repeat myself from my Outlast review, so here's what IHello there. Did you miss me? Here we are with the Whistleblower review... an add-on to the Outlast game, that blows... literally.

I'm not gonna repeat myself from my Outlast review, so here's what I can tell you. Don't waste your time on this s**ty attempt at a horror game, which is actually a jumpscare cringe fest, that will make you want to kill yourself. Patrician III is a scarier game than this... because there you need to pay taxes. Pickens out.… Expand

    Way too short. Just like the main game. This DLC is about 2 hours long, and it costs 9€. That is way too much for the amount of gameplay. On top of that, there are about two enemies that you have to hide from, and that's it. The environments, like the main game, are bland and uninspired, 100% linear and copy pasted. Awful.

    das Gleiche nochmal bitte.

    So oder so Ähnlich kann man es bestellen. Der Anfang ist echt gut aber dann entwickelt es sich wieder zu dem altbekannten Spiel. Es bietet keine Abwechslung oder nennenswerte Neuerungen. Schade.

    Jump scares are for Posies , jump scares are the lowest form of horror thats exist , The game itself is dry and should be considered horror because the only aspect that is scary about this game is the over-usage of jump scares the developers squeezed in it , definitely an unintelligent format and a main concept of a game , this game cause serious ear ache and is only tolerable with anJump scares are for Posies , jump scares are the lowest form of horror thats exist , The game itself is dry and should be considered horror because the only aspect that is scary about this game is the over-usage of jump scares the developers squeezed in it , definitely an unintelligent format and a main concept of a game , this game cause serious ear ache and is only tolerable with an almost-mute volume , plot wise : the same as a generic POV horror movie with a shaky camera and some teenagers :]… Expand

    I love Outlast, I had a great time playing the first game. I naturally tried Whistlerblower and just didn't enjoy it at all. I found the game extremely repetitive, frustrating, and actually...kind of boring. The fourth time I had to deal with the first insane person (the butcher sorry don't know his name), I was so disappointed that I was still dealing with him I turned the game off.

As far as DLC goes it's well made, it's a large DLC which is nice and adds a lot to the first game. I recommend giving it a try, again it is well done, I just found the game extremely repetitive and not scary at all.… Expand

    This game has no reason to exist. If you like it, seek immediate help. Pointless and pathetic, I'd advise the developers to seek emplyment in other fields.

    Though the mystery of what happened in Mount Massive was already discovered, developer Red Barrels has shown that there are plenty of new horrors that can be built, even more grotesque than then those left behind.

    Whistleblower just finished a tale of uncommon insanity. He raised the level of brutality, and explained several mysteries from Outlast's plot. However, the number of manhunts with psychopaths has been unnecessarily increased, and maybe there is too much of a rove in the game's setting. Otherwise, Whistleblower is brutal and an (un)enjoyable experience.

    Whistleblower does a good job explaining the original Outlast's storyline. [June 2014]
