YouTube Awesomeness

The best part about this game is that so many people are posting let's plays of this on YouTube. The game is so inherently terrifying that the screams are delightful. I myself can't play horror games due to being too much of a coward, but watching others play it was great and the story is excellent. Definitely worth playing if you can play horror. Also worth a Let's Play watch, definitely one of the most scary and professional horror games to date.

You know when you're in the mood

I enjoyed this. Not as good as Penumbra/Amnesia/Soma, but satisfying a similar itch for much of it. You'll know when you're in the mood for this kind of game. Inevitably some parts are cliched and you've seen them before. There are a lot of quests to "find the three fuses/keycards, each of which is down one of the three dead ends with a monster" or "activate this pump but to do it you need to pull three other levers while a monster patrols". The batteries run out ridiculously quick (and what videocamera uses a single AA battery?). The biggest issue for me is that in low-light environments even a single LED stands out. In this game you are surrounded by killers who are used to being in the dark and have pretty good vision - yet you can be two feet away from them, watching through the camera's display panel with your face lit up by the glow, and the hunters don't notice you or the light. That's plain silly. If not for those issues I would have given it five stars. It's (mostly) professionally done vulnerable horror.

Tension and horror correctly executed

I want to be as concise as possible with this review. People will say that the game is linear. It's not open world nor does it need to be. There is a correct way to go and an incorrect way to go, a complaint that I hear frequently. Again, yes; it's not open world, and again, it doesn't need to be. It tells a story that invokes genuine fear and tension despite its simplistic and generic story. While not the most convoluted story, it's effective at setting the background for an effective horror experience because it's not the story that creates fear but the journey and this is where the game shines. Unlike it's successor, it has the best balance of chase scenes with periods where you encounter nobody and the environment is what creates the fear. This is one of my favorites in the genre and is memorable experience.

Meh is the perfect description

Same gimmicks throughout the whole game. Bad guys chase you and or walk in a set pattern that gets old after 15 minutes. The last half of the game is really just a push for more story only to find out there really wasn't much in the first place. Also the ending is tragicly lackluster. This is a very medicore game. Wouldn't recommend. Start off good but is actually really boring.

Not such a shabby game

[SPOILERS!!!] This is one game that doesn't shy away from breaking the idea of what most people these days think that a "horror" game should be, that's for sure. This isn't like Call of Duty or modern Resident Evil, with all the gun-blazing, balls to the wall action. No, in Outlast, you must use your wits to survive. You can't fight back, so your only chance of escaping those monsters is to run and hide. Think of this as a modern era version of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. So here's the story. You play as Miles Upshur, a journalist. Miles receives a folder of reports based on experiments at Mount Massive Asylum, a psychiatric hospital in the mountains of Lake County, Colorado. Apparently an abandoned home for the mentally ill, it has been re-opened by Murkoff Corp. When Miles sneaks into the building, he's already shocked by the corpses of the staff. He also finds a dying SWAT officer who warns him to get out while he still can. But Miles decides to investigate further. He finds the patients, known as "Variants", who start going after him. There's especially a hulking sadist who grabs Miles and throws him off the edge of the 2nd floor. As Miles lies there, barely conscious, he meets a cult leader who goes by the name of Martin Archimbaud. This crazy coot tells Miles that he was sent by "God" to witness all the crazy shit that goes on there. So now, Miles is trapped, and he needs to find his way out of the asylum, all the while evading many Variants, including that big sack of shit that tried to kill Miles earlier, and two other cannibalistic maniacs. One thing I didn't like about Amnesia, is that when you die, the enemy doesn't respawn from your last checkpoint. So if you want, you could just let the enemy catch up to you and cut you up. Then you could try again without the sense of horror that the bastard is still there. That doesn't happen here. In Outlast, enemies will respawn no matter how many times you die. I like that, it makes the game more challenging. Some of the other features are that you have a camcorder that has a night vision function. Obviously, you're gonna be using this in places that are otherwise too dark. Your camera will use up battery power, but only when you're using night vision. Also, when you hold up your camera at certain parts of the game, notes related to that event will be written. You can also hide in lockers, sorta like hiding in closets and cabinets in Amnesia. Except that this time, instead of holding down the button to open the door, a single press of a button will get you in the locker at the snap of your fingers. That's another welcome upgrade. But what's more, is that you can also hide underneath most of the beds as well. So if I think that this game is so awesome, why am I only giving it 3 stars? Mostly, it's because the ending sucks. I'm sorry, it just does. Apparently, there's this ghost that everybody calls The Walrider. (This is the God that Martin worships.) Miles is suppose to shut off a life support system to be rid of The Walrider. But upon shutting it down, Miles becomes possessed by the ghost. He staggers to the exit, but a security team shows up and shoots Miles to death, releasing the ghost so that it could wreak havoc some more. The end. Still, this isn't such a bad game. If you've grown tired of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and you're not looking into buying the other "horror" games that look more like Call of Duty DLC rejects, I'd say pick this up.
