Jan 7, 2014I never felt so helpless and scared while playing the game. Also I had never gotten such strong emotions (mostly fear) from the video game. This game is highly recommended if you want to try something new, and if you have enough balls...
-
Sep 15, 2013Was not expecting such a polished and scary experience! The environments definitely set the mood and and all the effects are on point! Had to turn it off after an hour because I was getting really anxious.

Sep 26, 2014Outlast is nightmare fuel in the tradition of Hellraiser or Silent Hill. The player alternates between sneaking past adversaries and panicked escape. Many jump-shock-horror moments.

Sep 30, 2013Uno de los juegos que en mas tensión me ha tenido. Es increíble la forma en la que te mantiene pendiente de lo que ocurre, los alrededores EL SONIDO, el ambiente en si con todas sus aspectos gores que no hacen mas que aumentar la inmersión con la zona y su protagonista. MUY RECOMENDADOS PARA LOS AMANTES DEL TERROR Y EL HORROR.

Sep 6, 2013The best horror survival game in the genre. The atmosphere is utterly terrifying and very immersive. Audio and visuals are top notch and very impressive not just for an Indy game, but in general. This is an absolute must play for those who are into the horror genre.

Sep 8, 2013One of the best horror game I played. Great story, great graphics, perfect atmosphere. Pure pleasure for all senses! Complete horror experience, from the beginning to the end. Buy this game and support developers. I hope they will work on Outlast 2, because this game has outstanding potential to become even better than Amnesia series.

Oct 10, 2013grew up in the 80s and was raised up on horror movies. loved the first silent hill and any other game that scare the beegies outta me. this game has scared the beegies outta me. fantastic graphics, wonderful wonderful controls, great atmosphere and fantastic writing and voicing. this game has wowed me and impressed me in not only the fear i have playing it but the quality of the game as well.

Sep 5, 2013This is a superman game. You play superman, but not as superman but as Clark Kent, the reporter. Your job is to acquire the best damn footage possible. The targets of your hunt are not very camera friendly and will all try to kill you, but it's k.
-
Sep 6, 2013I was skeptical when starting to play. I've played a lot of horror-type games and often remain unfazed. This is one of the few games that has successfully immersed me into the game and caused me to jump and my heart to skip a few beats. Well done.

Apr 7, 2014Here I am a grown man and this game scared the living bejesus out of me. Wowzers. If you like horror video games you're going to like it. I had to sometimes stop playing at night because I was so scared.

Jan 3, 2014WOW! Just WOW! That game is the scariest I've ever played in almost 30 years of gaming history! Exceptionally well done, ambience is top notch, controls are responsive and tension is extreme! Very graphic though; it might not be for all tastes. If you enjoyed this great movie "Grave Encounters", this game is definitely for you.
-
Sep 10, 2013Just finishes the game. well all I can say is I was scared almost completely through the whole game which is a pretty hard thing to do. So it was well worth the price of admission. My hat is off to the makes of this game.
-
Sep 19, 2013The atmosphere in this game is amazing,so is the sound and the graphics are very well made, I have played about 2 hours and cant stop. Most horror games now are horrific... this is a very well made and has a lot of small details that add to the experience, you should buy this.
-
Sep 10, 2013Amazing Game. beautiful Graphics, really nice sounds effects, great storyline. Outlast is one of the greatests Survivor Horror game in this generation, little problems with artificial intelligence of enemies. But definitely this game must be played
-

Sep 8, 2013Exactly what I wanted from the game. Its not your pants scary, but the atmosphere and setting do a good job of maintaining a creepy vibe throughout the whole game (which is only about 4-5 hours btw). The game does a little repetitive by the end but that should not stop anyone from experiencing this amazing game.
-
Dec 7, 2013Best horror game around. The map is huge, and the graphics are great. Hiding, sprinting, crouching, jumping, sliding, etc. are all flawless and make for great evasions. The scares did wear off a little bit near the end. I actually didn't like the ending. You never know what will happen next. Get Outlast!

Sep 21, 2013I just finished this game, It was an amazing experience with an awesome atmosphere for every moment. It had plenty of moments which scared the crap out of me but it was too much fun to stop playing. Easily one of the best horror games around. Thank you Red Barrels Games for making this experience possible and I hope for many more games from this company.
-
Sep 11, 2013Best Horrorgame, that I've played in a long time. It takes everything Amnesia Dark Descent made right and expands it to the better. The night-vision of the camera looks unbelievable real and the story is so deep and sometimes also ugly (good ugly ).
This game is worth buying! -

Sep 24, 2013Didn't actually play it; watched Pewdiepie's playthrough.
Even so, really enjoyed the gameplay and the end was pretty satisfactory. Interesting stuff, recommend you get it if you're not scared easily (or if you are). -

Sep 4, 2013Absolutely my favorite horror game to date. I felt the immersion within the first 10 minutes of game play. The best time to play is after nightfall. Lights off and undisturbed. Turn up the AC for a chilly room. Then blast the surround sound. You will not be disappointed.

Sep 5, 2013Probably the best horror game out there right now, maybe even better than Amnesia. I found this game more fast paced than Amnesia, creating an intense atmosphere with some really well-crafted jump scares.
Recommended to all the horror fans. If you sh*t your pants easily, don't buy this. -
Sep 5, 2013I am gonna say this game is as good as Amnesia. It's very atmospheric and scary game and your heart bit all the time. You feel hunted and you don't have a time to just sit and take a rest. That's how the real survival horror looks like. If you feel bored playing Amnesia....you must play Outlast and you won't regret it.
-
Sep 4, 2013Took a stab at this one having not viewed any playthroughs.
A step up in the horror genre, and will keep you on the edge of the
seat til the very end. Hopefully custom stories to come with this new
visual mechanic. -
Sep 5, 2013Great story,stunning graphics and physics,good parkour ideas,really scary monsters and jumpscares,though some of them are really easy to glitch. Still awesome game Red Barrels! We want more updates,and after some time more games from you!Cheers!

Sep 5, 2013Very scary game, better than amnesia.

Sep 6, 2013Outlast surly is one of the best Horror Games ever released.
Thanks to developers like Red Barrels we can enjoy a game so well done like Outlast! it was from Start to the end a tense roller coaster cant wait for more -
Sep 7, 2013It's an awesome game, if you haven't played it yet, do it 4-5 hours of fun, Good jumpscares, nice graphics and awesome gameplay! Play it f*** the haters just play it!

Sep 8, 2013This is the scariest game I've ever played!! And it's more dreadfully than any horror film! Play at night and in stereo headphones, then bedtime is provided to you long trek to the toilet)
-
Sep 10, 2013This game...i love it. I only expected that Red Barrels make a new Outlast 2, or a similar game. This style is the most impactant horror that you can experiment. Only you, and your camera. Stamina, shadows, blood, hide... This is the only one terror game that engaged me until the desire of not to finish it. Im sad now... Red Barrels, PLEASE, make me happy again.
-
Sep 11, 2013This game is awsome about ghrapics,horror story and more.This game is more better then I think.This is the best horror game in the world and the universe.

Sep 17, 2013oldukça iyi bir korku oyunu. son yıllarda oynadıklarımın en iyisi diyebilirim rahatça. her dakikası ürpermenize sebep olsada başından kalkamayacaksınız...
-
Nov 5, 2013Those who've played it will know what I'm talking about. The US did recruit a number of there former enemys specialists and they did perform questionable research...specifically biological and psychological warfare

Sep 28, 2013I am going to say two things, as in terms of did I play it a long time and beat it? No- I couldn't play more then 30 minutes, however this is because I am a wienie and it Scared the hell out of me, so since their goal was to scare people they did great scared the crap out of me to the point I could no longer play lol great job guys!

Nov 5, 2013I never heard about this game but it looked nice so i bought to test it... Well... Actually i never played such a good terror game, this is definitelly the scariest game i ever played... The graphics are incredible, the gameplay is also very good, im running it with a gtx660 on maximum. if you want AA, you have to use the NVIDIA control panel to activate on the game. Worths every cent!!!!
-
Nov 12, 2013Game gives chills. Story is great,graphics are great, THE SOUND IS BEST.The sound in this game is sooo good, that i can't find any words to describe it. High quality horror game Giving it 10 with no doubt.
-
Nov 9, 2013This game is... excellent! It's a horror based on crazy people which is a good idea and the Asylum is well done. Very good graphics, I like them most, also the story is exciting, but sometimes it's really, really scary and intense. I hope you will make some more games like this one in the future!
-
Nov 13, 2013This is by far one of the most scariest games I've ever played. More than Amnesia the Dark Descent or the Slender.
To enjoy the max experience, use headset, crank it all the way up, turn off any lights, and play the game.
I actually had to turn this game offf several times because i couldn't handle the pressure. The build-up for all the jump scares are really nice. -
Nov 16, 2013The scariest game that ive ever played. Red Barrel, good job man. Hope to see more titles by you guys especially on consoles to. Will always have Outlast on my shelves til i day right next to doom, resident evil, and silent hill. 10 out of 10 all the way. Real horror reminds me of Chainsaw massacre or jeepers creepers.

Feb 18, 2014One of the scariest games I have ever played. It brings me back to the good old days of Resident Evil for PlayStation, without the ability to defend myself. The only way to survive is to run, run, RUN!!! It's realism is the fact that you can't fight back, you can only hide. Do NOT underestimate the horror in this game.
-
Oct 1, 2021Страшная дико! Ощущение беспомощного поросенка!!))))) А DLC ваще ЖЕСТЬ!!!))) Кто любит пощекотать нервы? OUTLAST отличный вариант!!!)))
-
Dec 26, 2013Excellent Graphics, the storyline is a little numb, but who cares, I played the game to have some fun and get scared. Not kidding, this game is so scary it can actually make you cry.
-
Jan 28, 2014This is one of the best survival-horror games I've ever played. Red Barrels definitely did all they could do, with good graphics, effects, scary soundtrack and gameplay.
Good Job Red Barrels! -
May 6, 2014great game 11/10 would get my extremities cut off for another experience.
Whistleblower dlc is also very very good 11/10 would scare.
only problem is it should be longer 10/10 much good.
Much amaze. -
May 31, 2014The game together with the dlc makes a wonderful and incredibly spooky gaming experience. The plot is well made, the scary atmosphere is fantastic and the graphics is outstanding! At first I wasn't that happy with the ending, but the dlc took care of that problem!:)

Jun 13, 2014This game was a really good horror title which reminded me of Nightmare House 2, graphics are beautifully insane and the story line is really good and the DLC explains a lot of the mysteries from the main game, overall an amazing experience!
-
Jun 10, 2014I am torn, I want to rate this game highly but then I want to give it a low score just to seek revenge in some way as I haven't cacked my pants playing a game for years. Scary, great graphics, makes you reluctant to run anywhere apart from if you're being chased of course. It didn't help when I felt quite tense and my cat clawed my leg. Great game.
-
Jun 17, 2014A game which can be used to define 'Survival Horror'. It did only take 7.5 hours to complete but the ride was like an intense G-force maximising, full loop-da-loop rollercoaster. A perfect nightmare, challenging your anal muscles to keep in the mess. Best £5.89 I have spent in a long while!

Sep 14, 2014Best game of 2013 I feel! The story feels great and had a lot of fun playing and watching! Pros and cons are, the game is very fun and the story feels so good its like watching a movie...
-
Oct 19, 2014Possibly the scariest game I ever played in my life! The objectives can be a bit difficult, as you can be pursued by demons, ghosts, and other things.

Jan 17, 2017Graphics are not the best and the story line can get kind of boring, but it's still one of the scariest and best games I've ever played. There's fast and intense moments as well as scary and nervous moments as well.

Jul 2, 2021I`ve played titles such as Alien Isolation, Amnesia, the one with Michael Jackson, even Outlast 2...
But this... The game made me its b*tch in the first hour of playing,,,
It is so scary to me that I can`t make myself to continue, that I rather watch Jacksepticeye or Radbrad do it...
If you want a good horror thrill, Outlast is the way to go -

Feb 7, 2021El juego dura poco, pero es tan bueno que se te hace eterno. En su momento el juego tenía unos gráficos que estaban genial. Los escenarios están muy elaborados (es una pena que te tengas que pasar el juego mirando la cámara y eso no te deja apreciar los escenarios tanto como me gustaría).
-
Jul 11, 2021scariest game a ever played. dont like horrors but i completed the game so it says much. good quality 10/10

Jun 29, 2020אחד המשחקים הכי מפחידים שאי פעם שיחקתי הסיפור מצויין הדמויות מפחידות ומטרידות ואפקט של המצלמה בחושך כל כך משכנעת ומציאותית
כל הכבוד 10 מתוך 10 -
Nov 17, 2020Played the game in 2020 after finishing the second game and it was still horrifying and fun! Independent of the graphics, which is not bad at all still, this game gives you a steady adrenaline pump in each second you play. 100/100 for a 2013 game.

Apr 14, 2021The best horror game I've ever played. Outlast is such an experience, its a perfect game. 10/10.
-
Feb 25, 2022Such a classic. The gameplay is simple but fun. The story was more interesting than I expected.
-
Aug 25, 2021Still the scariest horror game I've played. All aspects of the place in the mental hospital are very creepy equipped with an infrared camera with a battery that can run out, really fresh gameplay
-
Apr 27, 2023Loved 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.
Awards & Rankings

Feb 21, 2014A 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.
-
Dec 5, 2013This is probably the most horrifying experience in videogames, ever!
-
Oct 31, 2013On 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’.
