Outlast is a fantastic game and quite unique in it’s design especially when it first came out. I finished the campaign on PS4 shortly after it was released. The gameplay is very minimalist but the developers manage to keep things interesting throughout the whole campaign. You basically just use stealth and run away and hide from your enemies. However the environments, characters and scenarios keep things interesting.

How they managed to keep coming up with interesting ideas working with such limited gameplay is impressive. There is one moment in particular where I thought, ‘how the hell am I gonna get out of this situation?’. Then the solution was genius and actually very simple at the same time. The developers show real confidence in their game design and it’s a great experience.

This game even has one of the funniest and creepiest parts that I will never forget. With a couple of evil characters with their wieners hanging out. The ‘Whistle Blower’ DLC is awesome too and has more of a faster pace to it. The game looks beautiful at 4K 60 FPS and the performance is perfect for me. This Steam version is a great way to experience the game at higher settings than on console.

Outlast is a well designed and unique experience that is pretty much a horror game classic for me. It’s one of my favorites and I highly recommend it.
