One notable difference from the original is just how much time you will spend running and how little is actually to do with stealth. Instead your only defence is to run or hide… or run and scream if you’re anything like me.
Of course, Outlast 2 doesn’t throw you into the well-equipped shoes of some military trained professional, capable of handling several enemies at once – that would be too easy. You have no escape, you’ve lost your wife, and the locals are completely loopy. You’re in a segregated part of the Arizona desert. Unlike the first title, Outlast 2 swaps out the close confines of the Mount Massive Asylum for the wide-open stretches of the middle of nowhere. It is from this point on which the horror begins to unfold, sending you headfirst into an unthinkable tale of dark and gritty doomsday prophecies.Īfter coming round, and grabbing your seemingly indestructible and upgraded camera – the thing that will save your life countless times – you begin making your way through Temple Gate a village inhabited by a sect that believe the end of days is upon them.
Before landing in their rented helicopter though, an unfortunate accident sees the vehicle crash, separating Blake and Lynn. You are Blake Langerman, a cameraman/journalist who is on route to his latest news story alongside wife Lynn, as they look to uncover the mystery behind the impossible murder of a pregnant woman by the name of Jane Doe. Could Outlast 2 provide such an experience? That was 2014 however, and since that point I have fared the delights of several new horror titles, including this year’s Resident Evil 7, so it was going to take something exceptionally frightening to make Outlast feel unique and frightening once more.
