    After this game I don't think I'll ever want something to do with journalism.

    It is a great title, with nothing to envy other more current titles like amnesia: the bunker or any fnaf, honestly a 9/10

    Loved it, it leans a bit too much on the use of scarejumps sometimes but the atmosphere, context and story still sold me completely on it. Played it with a friend by alternating who has the controller and it was both fun to watch and play. Would scream again.

    Good and enjoyable gameplay, overrated jumpscare and horror elements. I think this game has really ridiculous hype for one horror game maybe it is not scary as people said as but it is good.

    It's definitely in my top 5 favorite games. It contains completely new and different horror elements for 2013. Graphics and music are disturbing (It's a good thing for a horror game) Must play for every horror lovers!

    Игра для тех кто хочет пощекотать свои нервы плутая по заброшенной психбольнице. Как "выживач" аутласт совсем не работает, однако как "комната страха" где тебя водят по разным пугалкам, сделана очень качественно.

    Хоррор, который мне доставляет искреннее удовольствие. Я такой человек, который орет со скримеров, но при этом говорит, что это не страшно. Здесь почти то же самое, но бегать от маньячел было очень весело. Страшно? Вряд ли. По крайней мере не для меня. Каждый мой крик был скорее реакцией моего тела, а не мозга.

    e past two or three years, this is the scariest and most atmospheric game.
    Outlast can safely bring the textbooks to create atmospheric games. I think, or to be more precise I hope that thanks to games such as Outlast, survival-horror genre, or horrors can be rebo

    Alright, so here is my final and most honest review for Outlast 1 & Outlast Whistleblower DLC -

    I will begin with the main game and then share my thoughts about the DLC as well.

    I will begin with the main game and then share my thoughts about the DLC as well.

    Let me start by saying that I have been a fan of the franchise since 2013, Outlast is the game that got me into gaming and the horror genre at a young age, and I am so grateful to have this game be the reason I fell in love with games as a whole.
    From stunning visuals, sound design, and gameplay to the profound lore and disgusting, gory environments and characters, this game has it all, or may I say experience, since once you start playing, you forget what reality is. You simply get involved in all the hell-like stuff this experience has ready for you.
    Let me be honest and tell you that this is NOT Amnesia. You are not here to solve puzzles; you are here to run, hide or die.
    Every second feels like it might be the last as the game never lets you get a breath from the constant chases and eerie music blasting in your ears.
    Outlast is simply an experience that you MUST go through if you call yourself a horror genre fan. There isn't, and probably never will be, a game that does what Outlast 1 did when it comes to horror; it's simply that unique and different from all the junk we've seen through the years. No technical improvements and shiny marketing can beat something that Red Barrels developed with love and passion.
    I simply can't find something that will even get CLOSE to the polish that this game has for an indie game from 2013; of course, the game has its issues, but it's nothing major or easy to find if you are simply here for the experience and don't start poking your nose around.
    I don't want to go in-depth with the problems the game has because, as I already stated, they are such easy to ignore things that I doubt many people will even notice.
    Overall this is an experience that I will never forget and get bored of. I can play this game again and again and enjoy it every single time, and even after hundreds of hours spent consuming content for this game and playing it for myself, the end credits still make me cry with joy every time. I love this game and the people that made it.

    Now, the DLC. Outlast Whistleblower -

    Everything I said for the main game applies to this too. Outlast Whistleblower is not a DLC; Outlast Whistleblower is a different product.
    Set in the same environment as the first one, with the events happening a little earlier than the ones in the main game, this does not feel like the typical DLC you would get with your regular AAA games nowadays. This is arguably a scarier and even grosser experience, filled with new places to visit in the Asylum and new bone-chilling characters to meet.
    You're going to like Eddie ;)
    There is nothing more I can say for the DLC as it's simply a whole new experience in the same universe with the same feel and looks. It's more Outlast 1, but better at times.

    It probably wasn't hard to see how much of a fan I am for this game, but trust me, I am hard to be satisfied, so when I tell you this game can not be beaten 'till today, I am not lying. Outlast is something that I will always keep sincerely in my heart. I love it.

    Jumpscares, gore horror, never really getting a break and feelings of wanting to escape are what you feel this whole game through, though, it does sometimes get repetitive, luckily the game ends right about the time where it hits that.

    This game is one of the best horror games to ever being created. The level of scariness and details of you understanding what is going on, is on a level that is rarely shown in games. The only game that does it better than this game - when it comes to being a scary horror game - is alien issolation. Yet this game is more relateable, showing you the dark nature of human as horror.

Opposed to in alien issolation, an other galaxy creature that takes zero damage from bullets and therefor more on the side of fantasy. In this game you cannot defend yourself at all. You get no guns. You can only walk, run and jump. Thats it. Completely vulnerable. Great game and that is why it is getting 10/10.… Expand

    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’.
