That said, I hope developers like Red Barrels keep pushing the limit on how far storytelling mediums can inflict realism, emotion, and fear on us.Īnother thing that I really enjoyed about the game were these moments where you seamlessly slipped into an alternate dimension or memory of your childhood in an elementary school. Outside of trying to survive a real-life killer, in the medium of movies, games, books, etc., that’s just about as scary as it can get. I enjoy being challenged, but I’m not a glutton for punishment.Īt the “Nightmare” difficulty level, especially if you have surround sound, you’ll experience the terror of, for example, a machete-wielding maniac just a second behind you, swinging his machete, where you can hear the swoosh of the blade just miss your head.
I played on “Nightmare,” which was the highest practical difficulty level because the next and highest difficulty level after that involved having no save points whatsoever. Special Note: As is true with most modern games, make sure to pick one of the harder difficulty levels to make sure you’re getting the most aggressive and intelligent AI, and therefore, the most challenging and rewarding gameplay. Since flight is your only option in fight or flight situations (because the game has no combat system and you carry no weapons), it definitely pushes the adrenaline limits of what video games are capable of inducing.
Outlast 2 game no fighting driver#
What Driver did for car chases, Outlast has done for foot chases. While Outlast II‘s setting, atmosphere, tone, graphics, and sound are top-notch, where the game really shines is its signature special: foot chases. What all of that basically amounts to, is likely the most striking and terrifying setting for any horror game to date. Heavily influenced by: Children of the Corn (or reverse Children of the Corn as I said because here we have the adults killing off all the children instead of the other way around), The Wicker Man, Lord of Illusions, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, and even real-world influences like the Peoples Temple ( Jonestown) cult. I very much expected to enjoy Outlast II because I enjoyed the first one, but was truly blown away at just how rich of a setting the sequel is set in.
