RE: Outlast

At last I have finished Outlast...

First, I must admit graphics are incredible. Sometimes it looked like a reality, real video or photography. Especially at the final underground "white" location. Surely, most of such a big visual impression was provided by engine alone. But also level design is surely high top notch, detailed and artistically well-thought-out, I mean combination of colors of the objects and interiors is artistically well-thought-out. As a result it was just a pleasure for eyes while playing Outlast.

Second, first person view model and a whole set of animations for hands and other body parts are real great. It wasn't just a clumsy body to observe, it was animated extraordinary carefully with a lots of tiny lively nuances. For example, when you're leaning and just see your hands touching doorframe it's truly rising the effect of presence. Total win.

As for everything else, there's nothing interesting at all.

Gameplay is repetitive and boring. Push the buttons here, find a key there, turn on some valves elsewhere and so on and on and on... Annoyingly boring and pointless, no connections with a story at all. Just simple quests for quests. At the same time you have to run or hide from quite stupid AI monsters. Without any real pauses. Same rhythm whole game. Total absence of a single well-thought-out builded-up scare. Man, I can't be frightened all the time! If game tries to scare me all the time I am vice versa not scared at all... meh, unscary horror game.

Storyline is usual, nothing new at all among all those thousands of asylum scary stories. Outlast is just another one psycho story with all those brutal medical experiments and poor helpless patients tortured and twisted into monsters with a little bit of German folk mystics.

Finally, as a result just finished the game and there's nothing to remember, no new experience at all, no story or characters or scenes to remember. Well, of course, absence of a nice story and intrigue is the main reason why Outlast gifts nothing to remember. If there could be unusual intriguing twisted plot carefully injected into quests and gameplay everything could be 10/10. But as it is it's only 5/10, not bad, not good, just in the middle of nowhere.

IMO.

Anyway, I do recommend to play it. Outlast is not a bad game. Not bad at all. It's just usual, nothing new, but there's nothing to really complain on too. I do not regret that I've wasted 2 evenings on Outlast, not satisfied emotionally, but truly do not regret at all.
