    Türünün güzel özelliklerini en iyi şekilde kullandığını düşünüyorum. Ama genel olarak Saklan/kaç olarak adlandırdığım korku türü yavan bir tür. Bir noktadan sonra yapay zekanın davranışlarına ve sistemini alışılıyor ve oyun korkunç olmaktan çıkıyor. Onun dışında atmosfer ve kurgu anlamında gerginliği ve korkuyu iyi bir şekilde verdiğini düşünüyorum.

    ++ 5 to 10 hours of pure survival horror
    - outdated but kind of beautiful graphics (well, it's 10 years old)
    - wooden character animations
    - very linear game play
    - sometimes frustrating
    - rather weak presentation of the story

    all in all still worth to be played nowadays
    (why no movie adaptation?!)

    Full jumpscare odaklı olmasa, çok daha kaliteli bir korku oyunu ortaya çıkabilirmiş.

    Horror con una buona tensione, in cui possiamo solo scappare dai nemici e nasconderci.
    Buona l'idea di dover far luce con la torcia (in questo caso una videocamera). Idea che aumenta il senso di claustrofobia e smarrimento.
    Meccaniche di gioco limitate, e gioco che dura giustamente poco per non diventare ripetitivo.

    Decent horror game that relies too much on jumpscares and doesn't have much mechanics with almost no puzzles. You run around the entire game tying to find keys or valves to turn to progress trough the game. Still worth a playthrough.

    Even if its repetitive gameplay becomes stale and less effective near the end, Outlast's insanely intense atmosphere can still make your heart pound fast.

    Great horror... in the beginning. in the middle and at the end the game becomes "Run and hide" the design of the game is excellent, the soundtrack too, the plot for show.

    Depressing atmosphere that is what the game offer. i couldn't find any more expect that, the ending was a bit off for me.

    Non così intelligente nel creare atmosfera come un Amnesia ma sicuramente un gioco divertente con punti anche molto ostici e nemici memorabili

Peccato che lo storytelling debbano sostenere sì una lore interessante, ma una trama tutto sommato debole. E una volta che sai come si comportano i nemici, è fin troppo facile imbrogliarli. Comunque un buon debutto per la Red Barrels, senza ombra di dubbio.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very overrated horror game with very simple story, with a lot of violence, repetative gameplay. Protagonist is so stupid. Why did he doesn't ran away when he saw a first dead body. He didn't took a gun for self-defense. Game is full of conventions and stupid moments like: How did Chris got into a laboratory without key for elevator? But game has good optimization and it has a good graphic for 2013. In all Outlast is a very moderate horror.… Expand

    Я люблю стелс игры и хорроры, но я не люблю когда в игре нет оружия. Вспоминая амнезию где оружия так же нет, меня игра цепляла атмосферой. Тут атмосферы загадочности нет.

По началу меня выбесило, что почти всю игру надо тупо бегать. Но дальше было хуже. Я неожиданно понял, что у меня есть здоровье, и меня надо ударить более 2-3 раз чтобы я сдох. И тут у меня пропало ощущение страха. Ну типа, если хп регенится, в игре надо вечно бегать, то ритм атмосферы поймать сложно. В итоге я превратился в бегающего бестрашного зайца на уровнях, который просто пропрыгал всю игру и вообще толком не прятался. Хз зачем тут прятаться вообще. Игра меня до жути разочаровала. Не понимаю кому понравился этот геймплей и кому страшно в такое играть...… Expand

    Такое себе, если честно. Мне не так уж и понравилось. Коридорные локации, без каких либо развилок. Раскрытие сюжета через записки. Да и сам сюжет, толком хорошо не раскрывается. Главный персонаж- тупее, тупых. Вообще не ясна мотивация главного героя. Ждал большего, а сама игра оказалась простым хоррором, с клише. Но все равно, разок поиграть стоит. Здесь хотя бы харизматичные антогонисты.Такое себе, если честно. Мне не так уж и понравилось. Коридорные локации, без каких либо развилок. Раскрытие сюжета через записки.

    Good horror game. Great environment and atmosphere. After a while the game gets repetitive but still good.

    In the land of jump scares... once you know where you are it's not very scary anymore. At some occasions you have to stifle a laugh, and the game itself is a narrow hose without many chances to do something different. Lame? Boring? Yes, you might think it is.

    A great game for its time, yet something was still missing in it, it had much more potential. The story was decent and so was the gameplay. A game you can play several times and enjoy it, yet I can't consider one of the best horror games. In reality, it was just a good game in a time where every horror game was super mediocre

    Well, pretty scary in the beginning. But imo there's too much of the jump scares and chase scenes, like every other minute. That made me lose the respect of the enemies pretty early on and all of a sudden it wasn't that much of a scary threat anymore but rather just another enemy that I tried to learn the AI of and just run away and win.

    Compare this to Amnesia the Dark Descent for    Well, pretty scary in the beginning. But imo there's too much of the jump scares and chase scenes, like every other minute.

    Compare this to Amnesia the Dark Descent for example where the game doesn't throw 1000 zombies at you the first hour so you're always on your toes and afraid to open doors etc because you really don't wanna encounter anything. I prefer that type of survival horror.

    That being said, I still thought the game was pretty fun. The DLC was good too.    … Expand

    Outlast – наглядная демонстрация того, как сильно может напугать survival horror. Её протагонистом становится журналист по имени Майлз Апшер – он получает письмо от сотрудника корпорации «Меркофф», где говорится о незаконных и жестоких экспериментах, которые ставят над узниками психиатрической клиники. Прихватив блокнот и камеру, репортёр отправляется расследовать дело.Outlast – наглядная демонстрация того, как сильно может напугать survival horror.

    While not as good as amnesia this game is really effective as a horror game and it fits in well with the handheld tape recorder mechanics. Definitely worth checking out for fans of the genre

    Guys sorry but, this is not a horror game. In a horror game, we should defend ourselves, we should destroy something, crash gates, but in this game, it seems like makers didn't strive too much. Sorry but Outlast was a disappointment for me. At least, you could tell us, your character is stroke.

    Don't have much to say other than it's a really good horror game. But I'm not too into horror games so my scores not as high as it would be if I liked the genre more.

    Outlast is an enjoyable haunted house ride with a great atmosphere full of dread and some intense moments. This hide'n seek subgenre of horror games isn't really my cup of tea, but I'd recommend getting this game around Halloween. Either you play it alone or (preferrably) with a few friends it sure will give you some decent thrills and fun jumpscares.

    A game that is not as innovative as you would hope. It is very old school. Nevertheless, this is a real horror-game and we can guarantee that you will freak out. It may be old school, but it is still a very good game that will blow you away.

    On one side, you have linear gameplay, at times simplistic game design and plenty of clichés. On the other – an exciting opportunity to star in a very cool horror ‘movie’.
