Although the large areas are diverse, they can be disorienting. Arizona’s countryside provides variety in its environments, from traversing a lake by raft to entering the depths of a mine. This narrative is completely separate to the first Outlast, offering a new storyline in the same universe, so newcomers don’t need to worry about being left in the dark.ĭuring the majority of the game, you evade two different factions of a religious cult that want you dead. Upon arriving, however, the two are separated when Blake’s wife is captured by a group of radical cultists. Outlast 2 stars investigative journalist Blake Langermann, who seeks the truth behind the murder of a Jane Doe in rural Arizona alongside his wife. The environments and psychological scares in Outlast 2 are bigger than its predecessor’s, but the storytelling suffers by relying too heavily on shock value. Players still sneak around in first-person, solve light puzzles, and avoid enemies at all costs.
This sequel leaves behind the claustrophobic asylum of the first game for greater ambitions. Horror lurks in every corner in Outlast 2, making it tense and exhilarating. Immediately, an overwhelming sensation comes over me: I know I’m not alone. A girl’s melancholic voice sings a children’s song in the distance. The walls bleed a deep red and pulsate like bulging veins.
While walking down a school corridor, lockers open and close of their own accord, like shutters in a strong wind.
