Outlast 2 is a part of my backlog so there is no question I am extremely late with my review, (June 2026 to be exact) but nevertheless I have completed the game and prepared to present my thoughts. The first thing anyone will notice is it is overwhelmingly dark. The camcorder is a carry over from the original title but the Devs of Outlast 2 do not want you to make any progress without it! You literally can't see anything without night vision and there is now a recording feature that further encourages you to have the camcorder on at all times. Like many horror games before it Outlast 2 see's you trapped in a small town of murderous hillbillies, occultists, psycho's and the diseased. No it's not pleasant at all and with no means to defend yourself your only options are to run, hide, and stealth. Emphasis on run because that literally is the only way to survive; if you hide they will find you, if you sneak they will hear you, if you stand they will see you. So throw caution to the wind and run which frustratingly only works if you find the exact path of escape. One wrong turn and it's instant death aka Alien Isolation. The game is split between two storylines, one mental and one physical. Overall I preferred the mental storyline that takes place in a school dreamscape. Events in the school are less direct and in your face than the dark night with the town crazies. Outlast 2 is a different type of game than the original, it's longer and a bit more difficult. In my opinion it has more in common with Silent Hill or The Evil Within series than the original Outlast. There are some original game tie ins but you have to search far and wide to find them. Overall, Outlast 2 is not a game I would play twice, it can't be described as fun, it's just unpleasant, unholy, and deals with criminal and taboo subject matter. The graphics, sounds, voice acting, and music are well done, characters are fully developed, and several moments are well executed but I'm quite happy to uninstall and leave this town. I would only recommend Outlast 2 to gluttens for punishment and/or hardcore survival horror enthusiats.
