EB's Owen Hibbert writes, "Understand that Outlast is 100% not for the lighthearted, and has most certainly earned it’s M rating. Is it actually worth the sale price though? So many horror titles have been released lately, and Outlast deserves to be at the top of the list when it comes to just how scary it actually is. You will shake, you will cower, and you will talk to real people to make you forget about the nasty nasty game world you just experienced. From the short time I have played, if you want something to majorly (excuse my french) f*ck you up, then Outlast is the game for you.
You can still purchase it for just $4.99 until tomorrow, so head over to Outlast’s Steam page to add it to your cart.
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
Dive into the best Metroidvania games on Steam, from hidden gems to top-rated classics, and embark on unforgettable adventures!
Players can pay to edit their character, resurrect the dead and other actions.
Yet Helldivers 2 gets a pass? Y’know a GotY contender by the name of RE4 had them and so does Devil May Cry V. The funny thing is I enjoyed both of those games thoroughly without having to buy a single microtransaction.
What I do consider a valid complaint is not being able to start a new game or being able to edit your character. That’s kind of a seriously baffling decision, but then I think how I played Dragon’s Dogma 1 and I never edited my character and I just did a 100% playthrough on a single file and didn’t start a NG since. So, I don’t think these are really going to impact me, but I can see how it will others.
I was going to pay full price to support this game because I've been waiting for it for forever but I think I'll wait until I get it for free from Epic or a Humblebundle monthly.
I am not defending Capcom, as I am not a fan of MTX in single player games. I do however belive they were open to reviewers about having MTX in their game. The reviewers just decided to leave that part out. Which is very disingenuous. There are some companies that get away with these things. Image if this was done by EA, Ubisoft, or even Activision? I am positive those defending Capcom, would have had their pitchforks ready if the companies listed above did this
This has been in my back log since it released for the PS4. I think I'll have to give it a go.
I found it boring after a few hours, it has a couple of tricks and likes to use them a lot. Also the end section could have been much longer and made better use of certain things that I wont spoil.
Outlast and the first Amnesia are the scariest games since Silent Hill 2 in my opinion.
Just started this the other day. Put it down after 30 minutes. Had to change my underwear...
I love the "look behind you while running" feature. An excellent feature for a survival horror game!
