OK for what it is, not my style though.

Overall the game is atmospheric and can be pretty scary but overall i've found that this entire genre is not for me. Like the Amnesia series you get by in Outlast by running and hiding from monstrosities. While it can be exhilarating hiding in a locker watching an abomination go by it can also be annoying especially when you must blindly run around hoping to get away. Overall I've found i prefer games where you can face your fears. and then shoot them in the face. But if you find immersion in a more helpless experience Outlast should scratch that itch for you.

A solid, scary horror game.

A good horror game. Some flaws, but I enjoyed it and am glad I played it. Solid atmosphere for a stock "asylum gone wrong" setting. In addition to all the unmoving corpses and wackos trying to kill you, there are plenty of living but nonhostile inmates in the asylum. The game feels very alive; more like a real place where people are coping with something terrible and less like a game board with nothing but enemy pieces. In general, I felt immersed in the protagonist and his hellish journey, but there was a big disappointment at the beginning. Within the first five minutes of snooping, the reporter is stymied by a locked door, so decides to start crawling through air vents. This was a harsh blow to my investment in the character as a real person - who crawls through air vents? Surprisingly, Outlast is at its weakest when dangerous enemies are stalking you, although it does a good job at making you feel helpless, like a horror game should. If you are spotted, a chase happens, and either you are killed, or you manage to outrun the guy and hide under a bed or in a locker until he gives up, which feels artificial. Neither outcome is fun, but in my case it drove me to try harder to never be spotted. Similarly, since I found the hide-and-seek sequences not that enjoyable, I began as a player to fear them, which made the majority of the game very tense in a good way. When I wasn't in immediate danger, I constantly worried about when the next danger would appear. The pacing was terrific. The game is mercifully short. The entire time, I felt very driven to escape the asylum; I wanted it to be over. Dragging my fascinated aversion out over a dozen or more hours would have been a mistake. As it was, it felt just right. I was worried that there would be chintzy 'boss fights', but there aren't. Resolutions are nicely cinematic and sometimes surprising. Last but not least: you have feet. This is a wonderful thing in a first-person game nowadays.

Finally a REALLY scary horror game

This is one of the few horror games that make me really feel afraid and scary me. Much better compared to the boring Dead Space series. The atmosphere is very intense and fast ecscape scenes are mixed up with (easy) puzzles and exploration scenes. The graphics are good, but not outstanding. Only 4 stars out 5 because there is no fighting system (every sane human would use objects of the environment to hit or slow down opponents) and the very disapponting ending (i hoped to escape the asylum, but no ...).

Very enjoyable horror game

Most of the other reviews cover the game well. I knew roughly what to expect as I'd watched part playthroughs on youtube when the game was first launched. As it's now been a while I bought it at the Halloween sale as it was a bargain price. Whilst I don't find horror games scary, this one actually made me jump at least once, so if you've got a tendancy to jump, scream when something pops out at you then at least increase this amount 5x. During the chase scenes, if the path wasn't obvious then I could feel myself tensing up as I was furiously looking for the way out, but these situations were fairly infrequent due to remembering rooms with lockers in or very dark corners to hide in for a brief moment. Nice twist at the end
