Outlast is known for its intense atmosphere, really compelling stories, and utilization of gore to draw players into this creepy and beautifully disgusting world. Ever since Outlast 2, I wasn't sure how Red Barrels was going to tackle another installment to the franchise, ESPECIALLY a multiplayer installment. Outlast has a unique way of telling a story in that there is a heavy utilization of notes and psychology to keep the player on their toes, eagerly anticipating the game's next move.
Creeping around the corner of each hallway, either playing by myself or with friends, I was waiting for the game's cheesy gotchya! moment, but there was none. I've become so desensitized to horror games over the years, so to see that Outlast is returning to its roots is a joy! Delicately placing fear where it knows the player best with Red Barrels utilizing the nostalgia they know they created — it's like coming home.
