Summary

Outlast 2 is the sequel to the acclaimed survival horror game Outlast. Set in the same universe as the first game, but with different characters and a different setting, Outlast 2 is a twisted new journey into the depths of the human mind and its dark secrets. No conflict is ever black and white.

Outlast 2 introduces you to Sullivan Knoth and his followers, who left our wicked world behind to give birth to Temple Gate, a town, deep in the wilderness and hidden from civilization. Knoth and his flock are preparing for the tribulations of the end of times and you’re right in the thick of it.

You are Blake Langermann, a cameraman working with your wife, Lynn. The two of you are investigative journalists willing to take risks and dig deep to uncover the stories no one else will dare touch.

You're following a trail of clues that started with the seemingly impossible murder of a pregnant woman known only as Jane Doe.
The investigation has lead you miles into the Arizona desert, to a darkness so deep that no one could shed light upon it, and a corruption so profound that going mad may be the only sane thing to do.

The graphics and atmosphere felt terrifying and I was so hyped for a real experience. The graphics and detail are all mazing and scary which made the experience very immersive. The story seemed interesting at first but just kept dragging and dragging on to the point I was just so bored. Some levels were absolutely terrifying and fun to play and it felt that I was in the game, just wish there were more accompanied with an engaging story. The gameplay is simple and also doesn't make sense. You get caught so unfairly and just doesn't make sense. Also, the ending was by far the most disappointing aspect of tis game, it simply ends with no explanation or any sort of completion. Simply lost potential to be a great horror game.

I had heard this game is absolutely unfair in its difficulty, but I found that evasion wasn't the problem. The real challenge in Outlast 2 isI had heard this game is absolutely unfair in its difficulty, but I found that evasion wasn't the problem. The real challenge in Outlast 2 is finding out where the hell to go. There are some tight areas, fortunately, where progression is pretty clear, but there are many open spaces where I found myself circling the perimeter or zig-zagging the area looking for the next place I was supposed to go. Sometimes the game loads you in facing the wrong direction. At a key moment towards the end, I was loaded in facing my pursuers who killed me immediately. The game then respawned me in the right direction.Unlike the first Outlast, I never found Outlast 2 to be that scary. It had some pretty messed up aspects, but its attempts to disturb mostly felt forced. Things are unrelentingly f'ed up so early on that each new addition to the f'ed up department feels like a desperate attempt to one-up itself. Also, if you're ever pursued, reaching a checkpoint immediately makes the enemies forget you're there and practically disappear (unless it's a scripted conflict). Also, the consequence of dying is fairly light. You don't lose any progress and you're completely healed (your camera's batteries may also be replenished, but I don't remember this for sure).I liked the atmosphere and look. It kind of reminded me of RE4 and RE7 with a few of the more hellish set pieces of Bloodborne. I think it would've benefited from some form of self-defense - especially considering the sheer amount of enemies there are (especially in comparison to the first game). That doesn't necessarily mean you should be able to kill your enemies, but it would be nice to at least incapacitate them briefly to get out of the stickier situations so that you can get a lay of the land to find your next destination.As far as the story goes, it was easier to piece together than the first game, but leaves a lot more questions asked than answered. The notes may explain everything, but their presentation is kind of cumbersome, so I rarely read them.

There were a lot of levels where i got stuck for about 30 minutes because i didn't know what to do or where to go, the main character is way too afraid to fight 80 pound human skeletons cuz he is a **** This game is way too broken. And i feel like it was rushed pretty fast. DO NOT play this game.

I was just receiving a bunch of disconnected information along with pretty cool graphics, and that kinda made me bored. So many trips to your dreams in the middle of the story in Temple's Gate, dreams that you don't know why you are seeing. That made me frustrated.The game is a well-made horror and might entertain you if you want to get scared for a while, but it doesn't really honor its name and won't be an enjoyable experience for the true fans of the saga.
