Just played for a few hours. Got thru a couple of locations. And what can I say is that Outlast is not scary or intriguing at all. The tactics, game mechanics are ABSOLUTELY similar to Amnesia or Penumbra. Shameless thievery of Frictional ideas. No weapons, simply hide in the lockers, under beds in the darkness, etc. Storyline is well-worn, nothing new at all, just an asylum where some experiments took place, some mystical background of the place itself, the mountains. So... just got ABSOLUTELY bored... meh...
Well, technically it looks just great. Nice modeling and textures. Quite detailed level design, if not to pay attention to the fact that abandoned mental hospital space is... is worned into holes. Nothing else to say. Nothing new, stinky copypast in a shiny packaging. IMO.
