They were exploring a report of a Jane Doe found dead and pregnant in the desert of Arizona. It has you take control of a man named Blake Langermann, the camera man for investigative reporter and wife Lynn Langermann. Outlast 2 takes place after Outlast 1 and Whistleblower. I have not seen the ending to this game or anything like that so I probably shouldn't be reviewing it but I don't care I'm a rebel. While the whole game was well-crafted and very amazing, some of the things in the game as well as the opening cutscene prevented me from giving it a perfect score. So I'm giving this game an average score of an 8.5/10. Red barrels definitely gave me a really scary and traumatic experience in the form of a great game. Overall: The game, while having a few setbacks that prevents me from giving this game a 10/10, is a very well-made game. The opening, while setting the stage for the game, is a bit bland. The fact that you have to record a lot of things in order to progress without a problem can get tedious. The gameplay does get repetitive even with new features. Cons: The ending, in my opinion, was a bit of a letdown but was a good conclusion. The Content's shock factor can't get anymore shocking than a cult with a lot of satanism and a part where your character gets sexually assaulted by a group of cultists during an orgy as well as a implication of a child being sexually abused by the cult. Amazing characters and great enemies and a great learning curve. The creepiness of the environment helps with the tension. Pros: The gameplay is smooth and easy to learn as it is the same as the first game but with a few new features. Needless to say that I was not disappointed. When I first bought this game, I was a bit skeptical about if it's going to be as good as the first game because when the first game was released, the bar was set really high and the expectations were also high for the sequel. While outlast two will just give the kids some anxiety. But between outlast and this game, this one is more for kids as outlast one will cause some psychological damage to your kids after playing it.

Side-note for parents: like the first game, this isn't a game for kids as it contains unsettling material, graphic violence, and strong language. But this game didn't make my heart beat as fast as the first game, which I had a crap ton of anxiety when playing. When I played this game and the first one I was connected to a heart rate monitor and had either one of my siblings or my friend record my heart rate.

But still, despite its flaws, Outlast 2 is a frightening game that despite its flaws and the fear factor being held back that is an enjoyable experience when playing. The mountain setting and the cult added some sense of dread to the game, but it wasn't as unsettling as the asylum setting and the asylum patient enemies from the first game. The game did give me a lot of scares throughout, but I wasn't traumatized at all from the gameplay, like the first game. While the game was scary, the sequel held back the psychological horror factor unlike the first game where the developers go all out. The answer is no, but outlast two was very damn close to raising the expectations. When I got to play this game at a friends house, I was excited to see if the sequel actually beat the first game. When I played outlast two, the bars were set very high for the sequels to beat. Unforgettable experience, Highly recommended 100%. This game will make you terrorized, stressed out, weirded out, disturbed and maybe traumatized. If you're looking for fun stuff, so this is definitely not for you. The graphics and the visuals are insane, these graphics are basically one of the best things I've ever seen in a video game, truly impressive and visually stunning.

The setting is on point, both Temple Gate and the School are amazingly designed. The soundtrack and the sound effects added more to the experience, it help the game to create its eerie aesthetics. sadly) in both storytelling and narrative design. The story writing was incredible, extremely complex and mature (something we barely see in gaming these days. Of course the story in the first Outlast is better, the characters development is better, but that's not the point. It didn't even try to be like that, Red Barrels just have the power of horror, to create a masterful horror story. Outlast II is a bloody, gory, controversial, messed up and disturbed work of pure art. But now I got the chance to play it again, and now I understand it. I played this game for the first time a long time ago, I hated it and left me disappointed, maybe because it didn't live up with the first game.
