IS OUTLAST 2 MULTIPLAYER FULL
I’d still buy it if it were a full priced game. The asking price of $29,99 is more than fair.

It absolutely doesn’t feel like a low-budget indie title, rather like a proper PS4 game that takes advantage of the console’s graphics capabilities. Sure, it’s not a 30 hour long animated game, but what you are get is well done, especially when considering that Red Barrels a relatively small indie studio. Lighting and sound design obviously play a big part in a game like this and the game passes perfectly in those categories. The animations, lighting, textures and facial details are more stunning than some multi-million AAA games out there. I was constantly astonished by the production quality. The devil is in the details with this one. The voice acting and animations were very carefully done. This adds a lot of replay value and is a great challenge to test your memory and reaction speed. What seems like a straight forward 5 hour game now turns into a 30 hour challenge to beat the highest difficulty. One wrong move and you have to restart the game from the beginning. It’s a permadeath mode without checkpoints. Insane difficulty speaks to those who want a real challenge. If an enemy catches you it almost always results in a death (you can take 2 hits from normal enemies and instantly die from bosses). On nightmare difficulty the enemies run very fast, leaving no room for error, and there are fewer items spawning. On normal difficulty enemies are walking slowly and you constantly find batteries for your camera as well as bandages to heal yourself. In a way, this makes a spooky horror game a self-fulfilling promise.Ĭompared to the first game there are a lot more chases, substantially more enemies and generally more hazards to die. Being so defenseless only makes you more afraid of every enemy encounter. What you can do is run, hide and spectate.
You are not a fighter, cannot attack or kill anyone. The controls are very simplistic and easy to get into, but to an experienced player they don’t feel unchallenging either. Outlast 2 is one of the games that anyone can pick up and play, even if you don’t usually play games at all.

It’s just a very unique and frankly refreshing way of storytelling and I’m all for it. In order to keep this review spoiler free I won’t go into specific plot details here, but you can check out the Outlast 2 Story & Ending Explained to read a full synopsis and my take on it. I can’t really say that I loved the story, didn’t hate it either. Don’t count on the game giving you explanations, because it never will. So again, collect and read carefully if you want to understand the game. When reviewing all the collectibles it suddenly started to dawn on me. It really bugged me at first, I was hoping for a post-credits scene but it never came. My first thought after the credits was “that was it”? Not because it’s short (it’s about twice as long as Outlast 1… a thorough playthrough lasting 5 hours+ and a speedrun 2,5 hours), but because it was such a short ending scene without any resolution to the game’s events.
Just the ending feels very abrupt and there could have been some more revelations. Normally I’d not be a fan of this way of storytelling through collectibles, but admittedly it suits the game and setting. It’s one of those stories where you have to read “between the lines”, where the little details matter far more than the bigger picture. Many things contradict each other or just don’t make sense – not necessarily a bad thing because the story is intentionally portrayed in such a way that you must make your own conclusions. It basically cries for a DLC to give us the real ending.
On the other hand, the ending feels very unsatisfying because none of the big mysteries get solved. So it is vital that you look for these collectibles and read them carefully. The cutscenes bring up more questions than answers. On the one hand this is very interesting as you have to fill in the blanks yourself and must find collectibles ( documents & recordings) to understand what’s going on. The story is… confusing - and leaves many questions unanswered. They took it as far as they could without getting their game banned in certain countries. In terms of gore and brutality it’s about the same. A promise it absolutely keeps! There is a lot of gore and humiliated bodies – ranging from eyes cut out to skinned alive and even some torture. Compared to the first game (I highly recommend that you play it if you haven’t already), I found Outlast 2 to be less scary and it has fewer jump scares. Please enjoy” – those are the words you are greeted with when starting the story. “Outlast 2 contains intense violence, gore, graphic sexual content, and strong language.
