    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    The small confines of an asylum are perfect for a horror game and the inmates make it even better. you're where you belong when you're playing this game

    best horror game ive ever played. not insanely scary but just enough tension to always keep you nervous and on your toes (in a good way). super interesting level design and using the camera in the dark is super atmospheric

    Uno dei videogiochi horror migliori mai creati, con una trama semplice ma efficace che ti porta ad immergerti completamente in essa, un game play non eccessivamente innovativo ma che funziona davvero bene e con un comparto grafico buono. Il gioco poi essendo un horror ha uno scopo ben preciso ovvero far spaventare il videogiocatore e Outlast ci riesce in pieno, quindi il 9 mi sembra più meritato

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Outlast is my favorite horror game. Unlike its sequel this is not a AAA but the viral plot involving its protagonist, the antagonists, the climate of the place particularly for me make this my favorite horror game in terms of idea creation. I highly recommend it, it has a very good graphics for a game from that year and is a good introduction to horror games.… Expand

    Still one of the best horrors of all the time, but sometimes game design looks puzzling

    Such a classic. The gameplay is simple but fun. The story was more interesting than I expected.

    Очень пугающая игра, за много лет посмотрел тьму летсплеев, теперь и сам прошёл. В игре потрясающая работа со звуком , это сразу выделяется. Так же порадовала приятная картинка, на дворе 2022, но и сейчас смотрится достойно ( детально проработанное окружение, все части лечебницы пугающе правдоподобны ).

    Ótimo jogo de terror, Ótima história,gráfico e jogabilidade.
    Você realmente fica com medo de virar em um corredor, e o melhor é que não tem armas,que te deixa mais tenso na hora da jogatina. Você sente medo em todos os lugares e nunca está seguro.

    Run for your life and hide because you cant do nothing else. great thing this game is fun enough to where its ok to run. A documentary attempt turned to a fight for survival. a camera with very limited batteries this game is not for the faint of heart, its a rush.

    Um dos jogos mais assustadores que já joguei na vida, senão o mais. A jogabilidade não é tão difícil, pra quem já jogou esse tipo de jogo, a única dificuldade de verdade, é a questão de recarregar a câmera. Só não dou um 10 pelo final decepcionante, mas em geral, é um ótimo jogo.

    O primeiro jogo de terror com história mesmo que me lembro de ter contato. Até hoje é um dos melhores, realmente bem assustador. Não é muito meu estilo mas valeu a pena mesmo assim.

    Played it in 2020 after TLOU2 and Ghost of Tsushima so the quality of the game is obvious not that good. But as for such an old game it's very atmospheric, story is quite interesting and sometimes my heartbeat was quite high and I think it's the best recommendation for the horror game.

    El juego es muy bueno y entretenido, es asfixiante jugarlo, sus enemigos, sus habientes son tenebrosos y terroríficos, y su gameplay es muy interesante ya que no puedes pelear, solo puedes correr y esconderte. Un survival horror que nunca olvidaré.

    Outlast is always mentioned among the best horror games on the PS4. The developers were able to make the most out of the resources they had. The lack of combat allowed this game to focus solely on providing a quality horror experience. The reason it's not perfect is that the jump scares are occasionally too frequent. I think it could be perfect with more tense build-up sometimes.

    Outlast is a great Horror game. This game is scary, and has a good story line. This game has great graphics for its time, and two separate story lines with Murdock and the insane people at the asylum.

    Outlast is a mix of Amnesia (for the hiding from monsters) and Call Of Cthulhu (for the investigative journalism). It offers a truly horrific experience, with plenty of gore, dimly lit places, spine chilling killers to hide from and shocking events. A bit short, you’ll need to play the great extension ‘Whistleblower’ in order to experience the game in full and get the proper ending.

    If I were to recommend the (almost) perfect horror experience, this would be it. There are a few rare bugs, but it's an immersive and terrifying experience throughout. Definitely worth playing if you want to get spooked.

    Outlast is a good horror game, I'm not a fan of all the hiding but I managed to look past that. What you have here as a genuinely scary game. There really isn't much of a story in this game but that doesn't matter as the gameplay is really good. Outlast is a good game to play when you feel like being scared.

    Outlast is incredibly terrifying. What it lacks in gameplay it makes up for in atmosphere and haunting imagery.

    I really enjoyed this Outlast, one of the best horror games I have played on PS4. Maybe the feeling of fear decreases as the story unfolds, but the constant sensation of oppression and of being continuously chased fits very well within the atmosphere. Some of the scenes will pervade your memory for a long time.

    It’s not perfect, but Outlast still succeeds at scaring the pants off you. [April 2014, p80]

    A great example of the new wave of indie horror, Outlast isn't revolutionary or particularly terrifying, but some great jump scares and a fun, cheesy story make it well worth checking out. [Issue#241, p.72]

    Outlast is a virtual tour through a hall of terrors. Even playing the game in full daylight makes me uneasy. However, the game's overall level design and gameplay were sacrificed at the altar of fear. If you're looking for an experience that will get your adrenaline pumping, Outlast is hard to beat, but if you’re looking for a meatier horror experience then you might want to run past this one.
