    Outlast 2 could well be the scariest horror game I have played to date. There were a few very minor gripes, but the isolation, desolation, and desperation were noticeable throughout. The sense of fear was more impactful than in the first game, and there were parts where I played hiding behind anything I could get my hands on. I went to Temple Gate, and I did not enjoy my stay. And by that statement alone, I have to applaud Red Barrels for creating such a brilliant game.

    Outlast 2 is a good horror experience, but feels frustrating and too linear in some gameplay moments.

    Even after 13 hours of gameplay Outlast 2 continues to be a frightening experience. The game has some design problems, of course, but the flaws are forgiven when you get a true survival horror atmosphere all the way to the end.

    Outlast 2 is sadistic and violent without being subtle about it. Fear is not beneath the skin; it just hits you in the head like a hammer. It's not perfect, but it is great.

    Outlast II is a good game, if it does exactly as you please. Unfortunately, that is not always the case which makes for a very frustrating game.

    Outlast 2 has some great design elements, and the night-vision handy-cam mechanic is still scary. But the jump scares and gore don't mix right with the elements of psychological horror, and the story retreads horror tropes that didn't need retreading.

    Red Barrels's game is an immature and hateful slight at anyone who dares to believe in a divine creator.

    A- GRAPHICS- The game looks beautiful. Textures are very detailed. Frame rates are high. The atmosphere created submerses you into the game (also, it's half the price of an AAA game- it is as nice as RE7- leave the VR aside).
    B- STORY- This is not a game for kids or teenagers. The subjects on the games are reserved for Adults. I found it compelling so far, though I anticipate the ending will not reveal everything.
    C- Game play. Unlike RE7, you never feel safe, there is no safe room or weapons to protect you. That is thrilling. Mechanics are great and I haven't find a bug. Also, there is a lot of trial and error, so be ready to die several times reasonlessly. Also, I understand people complaining about the game being repetitive however I do not feel that way about the game.    … Expand

Esta segunda entrega, aunque sigue la misma dinámica y añade alguna que otra cosilla nueva, no sorprende como la primera. Además, la historia es algo más confusa y tiene muchos menos momentos que de verdad te causen tensión y miedo, por no decir, las pocas veces que hace falta que te escondas de verdad para que los enemigos no te encuentren...

    Gráficamente luce espectacular (sus paisajes, el entorno y la iluminación, puesto que los personajes y las animaciones faciales siguen siendo pobres como ocurría en su primera parte).

    Resumiendo: muy buen juego de terror, pero desgraciadamente no el mejor de éste 2017...    … Expand

Все эти трипы со школой раздражающие, странные сектанты тоже не впечатлили. Только гонорейные показались интересными. Картинка в игре безумно красивая и атмосферная. Туман, облака, игра света.....вау. Звук тоже хороший. Левелдизайн в игре раздражающий, больше нравились коридоры первой части. В целом игра просто не такая интересная как первая часть и ее дополнение. А так - весьма достойно.… Expand

    Место действия: колхоз, который занимается выращиванием аккумуляторов для видеокамер определённой модели (иначе как оправдать то, что аккумы валяются в сараях на каждом углу)

    Жители колхоза: тревожные люди - постоянно патрулируют свой колхоз с мачете в режиме воина. Почему они этим занимаются? Они живут в спокойном месте и туда никто не ходит - у них нет причин для паники.

    Игрок: Прибыл из сытой цивилизации, но не может дать отпор этим измождённым колхозникам. Не умеет бегать.

    Подача сюжета: Нам предлагают вникнуть в какую-то очередную историю про очередную ужасную секту, читая бредовые письма. Кому это интересно? Не понятно.    … Expand
