The switch to a religious plot is a stroke of genius by Red Barrels. I mean, it isn’t a safe tutorial area, there are still enemies to watch out for and some horrible sights to witness, but the opening hour is more of a teaser of what’s to come.
OUTLAST 2 SWITCH HOW TO
So learning how to crawl, climb and use the camera can become quite tedious. Much like the first Outlast, Blake is just a normal dude, and he isn’t Chris Redfield, so you won’t be shooting everything that moves…well, you will but with a camcorder and not a shotgun. The first hour or so, you’ll be learning the game mechanics and Blake’s abilities. Due to Outlast 2 being nearly twice as long as the original, getting to these horrors can take a fair amount of time. All throughout the game world, you’ll be treated to numerous mutated corpses, tortured souls and so much gore it makes the Saw films look like PG-13 affairs. Outlast 2, visually speaking, is one of the goriest and most gruesome games released. There are plenty of horrors to survive in Outlast 2, and I am not just talking about the numerous enemies you’ll have to run and hide from. Over the next 7 or so hours, Blake will attempt to move Heaven and Earth to find and rescue his beloved from the hands of two rival religious cults, all the while trying to survive the horrors himself.
When Blake regains consciousness, he finds his pilot skinned and crucified and his wife missing. Obviously, the investigation fails before they even start as the helicopter carrying the couple crash lands. The two of you are off to rural Arizona to investigate the disappearance of a missing pregnant woman known only as a Jane Doe. This time, you’ll play as Blake Langermann who, well, I suppose he isn’t technically an investigative journalist, that’s the job of Blake’s wife, Lynn you are her trusty cameraman. Similar.y to Outlast, you step into the shoes of an investigative journalist attempting to solve a rather gruesome mystery. First, the Outlast: Bundle of Terror was released and now, ladies and gentleman, Outlast 2 has been released to terrify the Nintendo Switch community. Now, a couple months into 2018, this could be the year the Switch becomes the mobile horror platform I had been hoping for as two of the scariest video games of all time have been ported over. The portability of the Switch seemed perfect for the survival horror genre, more so you can play these somewhat intense games in the safety of a well lit, populated cafe where no monsters can get you! During the first calendar year of the Nintendo Switch’s release, there wasn’t really anything to get the old pulse racing. One of the few, and I mean few, criticisms I had with the Nintendo Switch (before my purchase) was the lack of any real horror games.
