Even if its ambitious themes don't always land and navigating through its world can be frustratingly inconsistent, there's more wicked creativity at play here than I've seen in a horror game in a long time. "Outlast 2 is a terrifying sequel that builds upon the scares of the 2013 original. "Think of it as a ride through a really amazing haunted house: you don't have a ton of control and sometimes the ride breaks down for a moment or two, but it's basically guaranteed to leave you scared out of your mind." - Scott Butterworth IGN - 8.3/10 It doesn't do much to build on the original formula, but it unquestionably provides a more polished version of the same idea. The atmosphere and sound design are expertly crafted, and Blake's hallucinations elevate the game's story above that of the first.
The campaign is scary from start to finish and delivers on its promise of unrelenting terror in part because it never allows you to fight back. At the same time, however, I admire its purity, and to an extent, I'm willing to accept its shortcomings for the sake of true survival horror. Stretched over twice the length of the original game, Outlast 2's gameplay starts to wear thin, especially since too many of its scripted chases funnel you down preset paths.
"In truth, Outlast's 'no weapons' formula worked better as a shorter experience.
