Outlast II Reviews
Outlast 2 isn't the best, but it's still scary. Its story isn't brilliant but there are thought provoking moments. There's no characterization to it except for the protagonist but the polished visuals and sound makes you respect it. So all in all if you love horror at its terrifying peak, don't miss Outlast 2

Outlast 2 tries to introduce itself as a genre-defying game, but repetitive gameplay and lack of characterization have made it a so-so game, although it's worth a try. Moreover, the game gets really nasty at some points that makes it as horror as Saw franchise is. it's neither quite horror nor quite Saw-like, but you can have some fun with it for a few hours -maybe jump scare at some points- and then forget all about it.

A gripping horror game that loses effect over time after a great start and therefore remains behind the first Outlast.

Outlast 2 made me feel terrible, but that's by design
It delivers at making us enjoy while we suffer torture and it keeps the spirit of the franchise alive, altough it can't help repeating the same mistakes the previous games had.

Outlast 2 successfully builds on the foundations of the original, leaning more toward captivating, mind-bending horror
Outlast 2 is a fantastic technical achievement on the Nintendo Switch with a good story and a setting that is impressively and increasingly atmospheric. It isn’t for everybody though, as some of the stealth mechanics used will grow increasingly tiresome for some. As such it isn’t perfect but it improves upon a lot of things that Outlast did wrong and is a better game overall than that title. If you’re a horror fan then it’s a must play, it is as simple as that. It is one of, if not the best horror game currently available on the Switch. Get your headphones at the ready.
Outlast 2 builds on the original. Its longer, tougher and has some darker scenes than its predecessor. Some of that games frustrations are still here and towards the end the same formula starts to wear thin but its part and parcel of this type of game and overall this is a game that will get under your skin and make you scream out loud. Its truly terrifying and an example of what horror games should be. One that all horror fans should pick up - if you can stomach it!
Of course, your helicopter malfunctions and crash lands around the area. You come to with nothing but your camera at your disposal, and so the terrifying search for your wife begins.
The story on offer is fantastic and any fan of horror would be kicking themselves if they didn’t try out the gritty and thrilling experience that is found within Outlast 2.
Outlast II is a very good game.
While it's not as groundbreaking and game changer as its predecessor, Outlast 2's atmosphere and the story it tells makes it one of the greatest horror games ever made. You shouldn't miss it, if you can stomach some of its heavy themes.

Outlast 2 is a more gritty take on the survival horror genre. The game features genuinely creepy atmosphere even though it has some design issues with its gameplay that might lead to some frustrating moments, it still remains one of the most frightening game that I have played this year.
Even after 13 hours of gameplay Outlast 2 it's a frightening experience. The game has some design problems, of course, but the flaws are forgiven when you get a true survival horror atmosphere all the way to the end.

The squeamish and the easily offended need not apply.
Outlast II is a huge step forward in both narration and graphics from Red Barrels' first survival horror experiment. Even if the first chapter had a greater balance between the different gameplay mechanics, its sequel offers one of the best overall experience for those loving horror games. Ready to feel the fear?

Familiar yet terrifying, Outlast 2 mixes excellent production values with genuinely disturbing imagery and subject matter. It's a long way down to the abyss but it's worth every minute of the fall.
This game has a little longer playtime than the original, but that will most likely be extended in the first playthrough due to the unfamiliarity with locations and enemies. Outlast 2 will punish and terrify at the same time; it's a cruel game.
Outlast 2 investigates human perversion from the point of view of a pseudo-religion and its most obscene drifts. It keeps the structure of the previous chapter and manages to satisfy hardcore horror lovers.

Outlast 2 on Switch is a great way to tackle what is one of the scariest horror games I've played in recent memory. The port is excellent, only marred by some inconsistencies seen in the game itself — horror fans should definitely check this one out.
