Played the original Outlast on nightmare so I thought I could do it on this one too. Boy was I wrong.

I know I haven't really put a considerable amount of time into the game yet, but all I have to say is wow. I'm not going to get technical, but just the raw terror this game made me feel in the first 20 minutes of playing... I'm just speechless. This is gonna be one tough game to get through.


First of all let me say that this game was great. The people who gave the game a negative review are WAY TOO CRITCAL. This game had me sweating and frequently pausing just so I could calm myself down to continue playing. The story was compelling, and I enjoyed almost every portion of this work of art. Now I'm not gonna write a lengthy pro and con list, just be aware that the pros far outweigh the cons. Truly, the only con worthy of mentioning are the all too frequent chases, but I'd be lying if I didn't say they get the blood pumping. I do wish you could sneak around better in the game, but it's cool how the game forces you to think on your feet. You will die. You will die alot. The trial and error will get you annoyed, but the sense of relief you get (and renewed fear) will make you feel... better... kinda?

Anyway, with all that being said I would DEFINITELY recommend this. The graphics, the animations, the enemies, the environment, the story, the new microphone and bandage mechanic, the recordings but most of all the graphics (yes I know I repeated myself)! Great stuff! Although I don't feel like I can say this second installment is better than the first, I can say that this game is exactly what you think it is. Freaking scary.
