Early Access Review
This game is legendary. If you're looking for a co-op, survival-horror game then this is the game for you. I haven't played any of the original Outlast games, but I am familiar with the series and its gameplay. My friends and I joined the closed beta last year, October and we had a lot of fun (and scares) playing this game.

If you're looking for a game that's horror, with a lot of jumpscares and terrifying moments (PT, FNaF), you might not find that in this. This game is not that, but more so horrifying, adrenaline-pumping situations.

Outlast is a game about avoiding enemies, hiding, sneaking around them and, if worse comes to worst, getting the absolute ♥♥♥♥ outta of there by running as fast as your chicken legs can run, slamming doors and using whatever you have to delay your unstoppable pursuers. The Outlast Trials is that, but less story, more gameplay with co-op.

I know some of you might not get this game because of co-op, as it might ruin the horror of the game. First things first, Red Barrels did an amazing job balancing the horror with the co-op. The game is full of situations where you are separated with your team, confronted with unstoppable enemies and the only defence you have is a single glass bottle. Secondly, you can play the game solo. Red Barrels have optimized the gameplay for both solo players and co-op players.

TL;DR - The Outlast Trials is an adrenaline-pumping, gameplay focused, horrifying game that is perfect for both co-op and solo players, and I would recommend it to those who want a gameplay-oriented, survival-horror game.

EDIT: After 25 hours of gameplay, the game has come a long way already in support of the community. The new trial is amazing (probably one of my favourites) and it hasn't gotten repetitive or boring just yet.
