    Outlast: Whistleblower isn't quite as memorable as its parent game, but nonetheless provides plenty of grisly encounters and tells a more complete story.

    Whistleblower is a short DLC that surpasses the original Outlast game in terms of fear and atmosphere.

    Outlast: Whistleblower doesn’t muck around with a formula that’s already proven to work, and it subsequently succeeds at extending the spooky atmosphere of Red Barrels’ survival horror release. The new campaign accompanies the original game well, and even improves upon it in many ways. It also ups the ante in the terror department, hitting harder and more frequently, without relying too heavily on jump scares.

    It expands on the original background, and somehow manages to fix some of the few issues of the main chapter, namely linearity. A great DLC, which you should absolutely consider if you loved Outlast.

    Delivers more of the same gruesome locales and jump-scares as the core game, but doesn't introduce much new to the horror experience. Its sound design is still top notch, and it took me to some dark places that few video games ever dare to go.

    Taken as a fun Friday night of gaming, it’ll give you an excellent horror fix, leaving you shaken and strangely exhausted from the episodes of sustained suspense.

Found it even better than the original. Grisly, Hardcore, in your face horror. Love the setting and the characters. There are some scenes that will stick with you. Especially later on. I feel like I am reading a horror novel. Except living it. Imagine playing something like this on the Oculus Rift someday..how amazing and frightening would that be? Good to see there are still companies out there willing to do games this extreme. Dead Space is the only one I can think of in the last 10 years (Amnesia has nothing on Outlast). To American developers: There are still mature gamers out there! Can't wait to see what else Red Barrels cooks up. Highly recommended.… Expand

    The Whistleblower DLC was criminally underrated by the critics.

It provided more precise details about the story of Mount Massive Asylum and how exactly people were extorted to prevent investigations from the authorities. Remember that is a DLC. It doesn't need to reinvent the wheel. Some of the environments are reused from the original game because it takes place around the same time in order to organically answers some questions from the original Outlast. That's the whole point! Not only do you get to meet the person who sent the message to the reporter Miles Upshur, you actually get to play as the whistleblower Waylon Park. Once again, there are deadly enemies that you have to run and hide from, and that's exactly what the dedicated fans wanted. There is no fighting back because this is Outlast, not Resident Evil.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, let me start by saying that Outlast is one of my favorite horror games of all time, and when I heard about Whistleblower, I was pretty excited. If you are looking for an experience completely different than the original Outlast, you should probably look elsewhere. Whistleblower is more of the same stuff that made Outlast great, and that is a good thing. I was truly scared through most of the game, but some parts were extremely frustrating and I kept dying. This kind of took away the scares and made it annoying. There's one part in the game where you have to find a key, while limping on a broken leg, and some crazy guy starts chasing after you. It took me 7 tries before I could successfully pass that mission, and by that time, I was not scared, just frustrated. So, bare in mind that this game can get extremely frustrating. It is very fun though and if you liked Outlast, you will like this!… Expand
