The only really good and tense parts was in the mines and in the school sections. The other environments being open would be fine if all the enemies didn't slowly walk toward you, especially with Marta. Also, I find it funny that Blake has an actual voice actor and talks throughout the game, yet Miles from the first game, and also Waylon, has more of a personality and interest to their characters through simply only documents they write. Blake only really has conversations with Lynn and Ethan, yet whenever there's an antagonist that could lead to interesting dialogue or conversation, Blake either has nothing to offer them or simply just swears at them.

There's lots to be said about this game.

First, the good.
Graphics are amazing. The world looked beautiful, even through the green hue of the night vision camera you can tell that the graphics are top notch, and the optimization on PC is very good.
The soundtrack is also one of the highlights. The first game lacked impact through the OST, but this game definitely improved from the first and had certain tracks that made the experience better.
The mechanics were also improved on the first game, and Outlast already had some stellar gameplay mechanics so that's also a point in favor.

Now, the okay-ish.
Story was... a mixed bag. For one part, I enjoyed the "side" plot that would transition seamlessly from the main plot, but the main story in itself was... weak at best. They only managed to catch my interest in the last third, and by that time I just kind of wanted to finish the game.

Now, the bad.
The encounters this game are just... awful. And maybe some might disagree and say this is just subjective, but the chase sequences and the ones where you had to hide were not fun at all. Bear in mind that I played this in hard mode, yet I was doing chases over and over again because the twists and turns felt really bad to do, and I say that being a mouse and keyboard player... I can't even imagine how it feels on a controller. So yeah... that deducts a lot for me.

Overall, I enjoyed the first game and its DLC more than this one.

At first, I was a fan of Outlast 2, a creepy sex cult in the woods you have to barely scratch by to escape, I thought it had potential, and I liked the first Outlast. I think this game is pretty lame, an incomprehensible muddled story(or maybe I'm just an idiot) with an incredibly unsatisfying ending and I'd argue a lot less scares than the orignal Outlast. I can't say I'd reccommend this game to anyone, the gameplay had it's moments but they were fleeting and few and far between. Not a fan of this one.

Outlast 2 é mais longo que seu antecessor, mas não consegue causar o mesmo impacto. Na continuação, há mais exploração de ambientes e de personagens, mas os antagonistas do primeiro são bem mais amedrontadores. Não gostei de incluir a história entre Blake e Jessica na mesma narrativa de Blake e Lynn: poderia ter sido feita uma DLC com esse "passado" do Blake (assim como "Whistleblower" no primeiro jogo). Há gore e insanidade também, talvez até mais que no primeiro, porém a história em si não é tão inovadora assim. Quem gostou do primeiro/Whistleblower, vai gostar do segundo também.
