It deals with some incredibly heavy topics that are arguably better left to the imagination, presenting them in grotesque detail with barely any shame. In fact, at times, Outlast 2 is outright revolting. Generally speaking, Outlast 2 is a game that I don’t recommend to newcomers in the horror genre. Armed with only his night-vision camera, Blake must outwit and outlast (sorry, I couldn’t help myself) his opposition, otherwise he might end up gutted and crucified… or worse. As luck would have it, scorpions and snakes are the least of Blake’s worries, as he soon discovers a deranged cult hiding in the hills. Unfortunately, during a helicopter crash seemingly ripped straight out of Call of Duty, Blake and his wife get separated, forcing him to trek through the desert while searching for his beloved. In the game, you control Blake Langermann, a cameraman exploring the Arizona desert with his journalist wife, attempting to solve a mysterious murder case. Packed with all things disturbing, including excessive gore, particularly disturbing imagery, and plenty of “ what the f**k” moments, Outlast 2 practically begs you to put the controller down and start thinking happy thoughts. While that might be overselling things a bit, this sequel to the developer Red Barrel’s breakout horror hit rarely pulls the punches. Ah, Outlast 2, the horror game for people who really want to be emotionally scarred.
