With the handful of changes and additions apparent from its opening hour, Outlast 2 already feels more ambitious than its predecessor, even if the core remains faithfully similar.
While the first Outlast was set within the grimy confines of a psychiatric hospital, Outlast 2 sets you loose in a rural Arizona desert overrun by a dangerous cult. The fact that you cover more ground than you did in Mount Massive Asylum gives the illusion of being on a long journey. I say illusion because, at least in the opening hour, that journey still feels relatively linear. I never had to backtrack or problem-solve my way out of a tough spot, since the story kept propelling me onward.
In a run-and-hide horror game like Outlast, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. A higher quantity of key story moments prevented the pace from feeling sluggish, including a couple mysterious flashbacks set in a high school. Outlast 2 is also a gorgeous looking game and its new rural setting pairs nicely with the eerie green tint of your camcorder’s night vision.
