    The same pattern all over again. Intriguing start and really good ending, but incredibly boring and tedious core in the middle. Outlast had such an amazing ending that I hoped the DLC would continue from there and exactly that happened, but it pretty slowly turns into the same annoying running away from some guy as the main game so in the end I couldn't really enjoy it that much, butThe same pattern all over again.

It's a pity there wasn't more focus on the atmosphere, the story and the interesting parts this game had to offer, it's so much better than all that cheap horror crap you will end up doing most of the time. 6/10… Expand

    this dlc was just more outlast, which isn't a bad thing at all in my opinion. there were a few new environments and the story in the dlc was a little bit more interesting and a few of the new characters you are trying to escape from are very disturbing. there were a few things that were a bit negative like the fact that you are running more than hiding which takes away some of the tensionthis dlc was just more outlast, which isn't a bad thing at all in my opinion. there were a few new environments and the story in the dlc was a little bit more interesting and a few of the new characters you are trying to escape from are very disturbing. there were a few things that were a bit negative like the fact that you are running more than hiding which takes away some of the tension and that the ending isn't all that satisfying just like the first one, but hey if you liked out last you will definitely like this dlc… Expand

    Outlast was the one of the best horror game that I ever seen,but, Whistleblower is shorter than main game and less scary. It is a good game but 8.99 dollar is not its price...

    Here, the story is far better written, much more interesting. Game park has something not first but unfortunately it is only a maximum of DLC and ends in 2:30.

    Outlast Whistleblower is a perfect dlc for the main game. Even though the scares are the same as the main Outlast game, there are a few more terrifying moments which were intense throughout. I would of expected it to be a bit longer, and to make it less frustrating at certain moments because it takes away a bit of the experience. The sounds and the atmosphere are still perfect, same withOutlast Whistleblower is a perfect dlc for the main game.

    Il gioco base, ma con personaggi che non hanno scopo chiaro se non ucciderti, lo stesso gameplay ripetitivo (problema del gioco originale, c'è da dire), e un sacco di elementi riciclati (sentite bene l'audio, capirete di cosa parlo).

    По факту тоже самое, но глазами другого участника игры. На самом деле дополнение больше маркетинговое, чем самостоятельная игра. Те же пейзажи, коридоры, но только в обратном порядке, т.е. с базы опытов к началу оригинальной игры. Интересно, но не так как проходить оригинал. Собственно 7/10, по факту ничего нового игра не несетПо факту тоже самое, но глазами другого участника игры. На самом деле дополнение больше маркетинговое, чем самостоятельная игра.

    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]
