Outlast 2

2017 Red Barrels

Outlast 2 introduces you to Sullivan Knoth and his followers, who left our wicked world behind to give birth to Temple Gate, a town, deep in the wilderness and hidden from civilization. Knoth and his flock are preparing for the tribulations of the end of times and you’re right in the thick of it.

Outlast 2
HORROR CENTRALITY
92 /100

Outlast 2 is a pure survival horror experience where fear, vulnerability, and dread drive the core gameplay. The player mostly hides, runs, and investigates—combat is minimal/nonexistent, and the atmosphere and narrative revolve around disturbing themes. Removing horror would fundamentally change the game.

Best for players looking for a very scary, high-tension, atmosphere-heavy, stealth-focused and light on combat horror experience.
