It’s human instinct to defend yourself but, what happens when you can’t fight back? Every element of the game is meant to invoke fear and anxiety, taking upon your biggest uncertainties and forcing you to think on your toes. This game is very much about surviving and it takes away the biggest safety blanket that most gamers hold near and dear to them, weapons.

You don’t get much time to think about what you've just experienced until the game's over and once you reach the end, well… you’ll see. Developer Red Barrels really went to town on his game and I’ll have to say, not only is it scary, but the game looks and runs pretty damn good.

The thing that was so pleasing about Outlast 2 was no matter how much you tried to prepare, the game will always switch it up and scare the crap out of you, which leads me to the best advice I can give any fellow gamer when playing this game, ' don’t look back, just run.'įans of the survival-horror genre will love this game simply because it sticks to a formula. If it isn’t the soulless cult-like crazies that get you, the demonic entities and macabre images will. Everything in this game will make you look once and think twice. Seriously, the game is not for squeamish or for those that are easily frightened. Outlast 2 is not a game that’s meant to be played in the dark.
