Casi me cortan la pija. 10/10

One of the top horror games I have played. Really worth checking out. Only downside is if you hate horror games you won't like this. Wait for a sale.

Amazing Game, scarey as ♥♥♥♥. One of the best horror games I've ever played.

10/10

Just beat the campaign. It's scary as ♥♥♥♥ and made me (a grown ♥♥♥ man) shriek out loud at one point. I only played this at night and immersed myself in the game. Once you realize it's a stealth game, not action, the enemies become less scarier. There are still occasional jumpscares that will scare the crap out of you, but you learn to expect them. Some tips to make it less scary: turn the volume down because the music is creepy as hell, RUN and HIDE, turn the brightness/gamma up. Also your breathing gets louder when enemies are near. I plan on getting Outlast 2, especially after playing the demo.

+ Graphics are great.
+ Unique gameplay, bringing surival horror to the current gen. I've only played a little Amnesia, but I can see the similarities.
+ Scary as hell.
+ Lots of documents to collect to learn the backstory.

- Lots of backtracking, repetitive plot.
- Although I never ran out of batteries, I thought the nightvision should last longer.

(Minor spoiler): The wheelchair guy scared the living crap outta me.

The most terrifying game in the history of mankind.

Period.

nope

Very funny and scary game. I don't know why I bought this game. I like it but I can't play it because I get scared so I guess I can' say it is bad as I am not able to play. Maybe one day I will try and livestream or record this on youtube, but for now I am just to scared.

It´s scary. It´s intriguing storywise. But it sure is not thrilling enough to make me wanna uncover the story behind the asylum and it sure has some issues I hated once I began to feel the effects of boredom.

Having batteries and needing to preserve them aren´t my cup of tea. I hate the idea of a night vision lasting 5 mins until you get to use another pair and once you are down on them your vision is basically s h i t . I want to slowly explore this game but it has this psychological effect of pressuring me in hurrying the f u c k up or playing on lowest difficulty because of this. I call this bad game design. After all the battery system serves no active effect in avoiding or battling your enemies except taking your g o d d a m n chromatic blurred ugly depth of field vision once you´ve run out of them. If you hide from enemies and don´t use it and rely on your hearing you basically notice that it´s becoming micro management intregrated into gameplay. That coupled with always being in some kinda locker or under a bed, just becomes a game of patience. When to progress is often just an lame approach of when does the f u c k ing a s s h o l e go away. Not my cup of horror. Another issue being that the gorey and edgy theme of this game is great but never really gets its potential played in a way that I feel truly immersed and trapped in the asylum. I just have the thought that I play a levelforced idiot with breathing issues trying to get himself killed. I needed more logic and character development than jsut an silent protagonist playing down what the devs throw in front of me. It´s a nice and creepy adventure for some, but with the lack of actual tension I fear I will not be able to play more of this, not because it doesn´t get scarier but because I definitely know it won´t increase from my previous big guy hunts me, other guys hunts me gameplay, but also because I get blackscreen crashes for no reason in the most mood killing moments. My Immersion already died. I can not enjoy this despite the fantastic scary audio and atmopshere. It feels like a improved walking simulator. If you like the Hide n run patience games like this is, you will find Outlast to be the top notchest game out there. But for me true horror starts when I have to act freely and find myself helpless. Not , yeah just run to the locker, hide under this and wait. Horror starts for me where the unbelievable begins to haunt. This game is prediction after prediction sadly.

While the game has slightly too many jump scares and the story gets a bit hard to take seriously at the end, this is a real treat for any fan of horror games.
