Briefly: Oh man, it’s finally almost here!
I have such a love/hate relationship with horror games. Often the atmosphere of these titles is absolutely incomparable, and the last few years has seen a huge resurgence in quality horror titles. My only problem is, when they’re good, they tend to be terrifying, and I can only play in short chunks before I simply get too freaked out – meaning that it takes me forever to finish these games.
This was the case with Outlast. This is still the case with Resident Evil 7, and I’m sure that this will be the case with Outlast 2.
In the game, “as journalists, you and your wife have a reputation for taking risks and digging into the stories no one else dares to touch, but this time you may have gone too far. Your investigation of a seemingly impossible murder has lead you deep into the Arizona desert, and into a darkness so wicked that no light could ever shine upon it.
No conflict is ever black and white. But once the dust has settled, the victors get to decide who was right and who was wrong. Who is good and who is evil. Human nature pushes us to extremes of violence and depravity, which we then justify by divine inspiration and a promise of paradise to come. Horror rises from desperation and blind faith. Outlast 2 will test your faith, pushing players to a place where going mad is the only sane thing to do.”
The game launches for PS4, Xbox One, and PC tomorrow, and for PS4 and Xbox One gamers, there’s even a $40 limited physical release that includes Outlast, Outlast: Whistleblower, and Outlast 2.
For now, take a look at this super creepy final trailer, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the game!
