Outlast is a true survival horror experience which aims to show that the most terrifying monsters of all come from the human mind.

The most terrifying game ever created?

Outlast is a first person horror game that borrows from the classic Amnesia, and seasons it with new features that give it some personality.

In Outlast you must survive the madness of violence and death that prevail in an abandoned asylum. With an acceptable plot, really good controls and plenty of butt-clenching moments, Outlast promises to be the scariest game ever created. But is it?

What is Outlast 2's story setting? Moving on from Mount Massive Insane Asylum, in Outlast 2 you play as cameraman Blake Langermann. Blake and his wife, Lynn are investigative journalists, taking the plunge to uncover the stories no-one else would.

Following a trail of clues from a pregnant murdered Jane Doe, the couple ends up in miles deep in the Arizona desert where they become separated. Blake finds himself stranded in a village of cultists who believe it is The End of Days.

Outlast 2 takes place in the same universe as Outlast, serving as an indirect sequel but featuring different settings and characters. What about Outlast 2's gameplay? The camcorder makes a return in Outlast 2, with night vision for those darkest moments. However, batteries remain in short supply. The enemy AI has been completely overhauled, so they behave differently to the enemies in Outlast. Way to keep us on our toes, devs.

(How long will we get to keep them for? Just asking.) The number of places you'll be able to hide has been increased; where before you'd hide under beds and in cupboards, you'll now also be able to hide in pools of water, behind furniture or even in an empty barrel. It should make for a more contextual, creative experience. Will Outlast 2 get a demo? The Outlast 2 demo is available now on Xbox One. Outlast 2 banned in Australia?!

Thankfully, no. An error by the developers when submitting the game to the Australian Classification Board, meant they sent the wrong video along with the final game code.

The video they sent was not a final representative version of the content in question, which happened to feature an 'implied sexual assault.' Red Barrels later confirmed they didn't need to change any content when the right video was sent, and the game was cleared for release in the Land Down Under. Needless to say, this game covers seriously mature themes ⸺ don't be a dummy and buy this for your kids! Outlast 2 VR support?

Not at launch, though Red Barrels stated on Twitter that it's something they might not say no to in the future. With Xbox Scorpio looming on the horizon, could we see Outlast 2 in VR on it at some point later? Outlast Trinity ⸺ what's that?
