This minor addition is only sometimes useful since it only gives the vague idea of a threat's position, and usually the stalker's AI or vision is pretty weak anyway, so it's better to just risk crawling past them. Outlast 2 plays pretty much identically to the original, but with some minor tweaks.īlake's camera has a mic on it, which lets him hear if there are any potential threats behind walls or in thickets of tall grass or corn stalks. It was a very linear and pretty short experience, but given the circumstances in the story, it is hard to imagine it playing out any differently and only cost about $20. Once in a while there was some set-pieces or mild platforming to break things up a bit to give people a breather. This was pretty much how the entirety of Outlast played: moving from point A to point B while relying on night-vision, scrounging for batteries and sneaking by threats or just running away from them. The game is always set at night too, so night-vision is something that people want to use, and batteries always remain a commodity since visibility is at its worst outdoors. Much like the original's Miles Upshur, Blake is also a photojournalist who has a camera, which is tied to the game's mechanic of recording specific events and using night-vision mode at the cost of batteries. It doesn't help that both games have a plot that revolves around saving a wife, but to its credit, Outlast 2 does have some really original story elements all its own that make it stand out should anyone make it to the end. Outlast 2 is in the thankless position of being released after Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Naturally, Red Barrels would further expand on these concepts in Outlast 2, where the sense of danger would be greater and the scope much grander. Outlast was an interesting if brief journey of the true ugliness of insanity, and explored some interesting topics about faith and religion.

After Outlast had a successful port on PS4 and Xbox One, DLC chapter The Whistleblower was released, which expanded and explained much of the events of the core game.
Even early in the game's plot, Miles sustains a crippling injury to his hand, which was basically the game saying that this man will not be able to defend himself at all. Since the story revolved around playing the role of Miles Upshur, a photojournalist who was out of his element and surrounded by depraved psychos, it made sense that combat was never an option.
The setting was a psychiatric hospital that had been completely overtaken by crazies of all walks of life. It was one of the best examples of a horror game where the player-character has zero combative abilities and had a greater emphasis on stealth, platforming and general adventuring. In 2013, Outlast came out and was a daring surprise for gamers.
