![]() Now with Outlast 2, the game looks stunning, visceral, and even more terrifying than ever (although the lack of VR support in 2017 is still disappointing to us). ![]() While Outlast 1 looked okay and had some really gory situations within the Mount Massive Asylum, it did not feel like Red Barrels reached their potential with the hardware. In the end, though the story of Outlast 2 is an interesting one, also has a few problems with it, especially near the end where some might ask: Is that it? Based on my experience I do hope that there will be a DLC too, even if not closure, bring some extra in-game story to the events of Outlast 2. Still, within the game, he barely appears to do anything remotely interesting. Which is a shame, as his voice actor is really talented, and the lore surrounding him and his brutalities is well written. His followers and The Hag have more of a presence than him. Meanwhile, Papa Knoth the leader of The Cult is sort of just there, whom we barely see during the story, and speaks through a radio to his followers to find us. The Hag (the pickaxe wielding old woman) is a terrifying enemy, who is relentless in its hunt against you. However, the central villains of the game are a mixed bag. The development team did a great job balancing out the two plots, and the switch between the two plots is rather well done and written in an impressive movie-like script. As the story progresses, both sections become more violent, scary, and oppressive in their environment, and the sound design accentuates all this. It starts slowly with meek scares, and even the jump scares are not the instant death kills for the first few encounters. Both plots are built up slowly and do not plunge the player into a full gore bloodbath instantly. The first is trying to escape with your wife, and the second is the “flashbacks” to your earlier years in a Catholic School. There are two plots running parallel within Outlast 2. ![]() It is worth trying to secure all recordings and collectibles over a play through as without them the story will seem disjointed. Subtle hints are dropped here and there to the connection between the two. There is not a lot of references to Outlast 1, as it is not a direct sequel to the first entry of the franchise. There are also collectibles that shed light on the dealings of the cult, and the factions within the levels, and as to why they want Blake and Lynn. Blake’s past is revealed to us over the course of the game through flashbacks that get more and more violent as the story progresses. While the story seems simple enough, in the beginning, it does go to a few places. They also have your wife, as they believe she is bearing The Antichrist, so it is up to Blake to save his wife before the Cultists kill her. After wandering a bit on the hills you come across some “nice” people in a small town, and they try to kill, maim, strangle and burn you on sight. When Blake wakes up, he finds the pilot to be skinned and tied to a post with barbed wire, and his wife nowhere to be seen. Sadly their ride is cut short when a blinding flash of light knocks out their helicopter, and they crash land near a village. He and his wife (Lynn) take a helicopter ride to the approximate location from where the girl could have come from. You play as Blake Langermann who an investigative journalist is trying to uncover what happened with a mysterious Jane Doe that was found near a highway in Arizona. Let us see if switching from an Asylum to a religious cult has done any favors for the franchise, and if four years was enough to reinvent the wheel. The developers have also aimed to up the ante on the insanity and not just the gore, in order for the player to question his sanity.
