![]() ![]() The way that The Outlast Trials just piles tribulations on top is almost overwhelming when playing solo, but manageable, sometimes exhilirating with friends.Īfter being transported to a police station, you’re tasked with electrocuting a snitch to death by finding keys, pushing them around, and eventually flipping switches. Playing alone isn’t a fantastic way of experiencing The Outlast Trials, as although the game has lots of narrative elements (subtle and otherwise) running through it, it’s definitely balanced for multiple players. Once you’ve chucked your life away, you’re then taken to a holding area where you can play another level either solo or with other players. It’s hard to miss all the hanged people, murdered dinner guests, and poor guy who is quickly turned into mince, though, almost in rapid-fire succession. You’ll be so taken with how the game looks that you might not notice the naked guy leaping at you. Red Barrels has absolutely taken it up a notch in the aesthetic department in the years since the second game, as The Outlast Trials has some of the best visuals ever committed to a horror game, even if the lip-sync doesn’t seem quite there yet. ![]() Utilising stealth, you’re tasked with creeping around a dilapidated mansion as a disembodied voice tells you to leave your previous life behind, the whole thing acting as the world’s least chill tutorial. You pick your hapless triallist, choose from a few perks and upgrades (which didn’t really feel all that notable in the confines of a Closed Beta), and then start running and screaming. The Outlast Trials feels like Red Barrels have tried their best to transpose the Outlast franchise’s most famous elements into a multiplayer environment, specifically night vision, shocking violence, and almost relentless antagonists who you have little hope of combatting. When a sinister Punch and Judy homage drills an apple into your hand, you’ll probably be left wishing you were Snow White instead. Set before the events of the first two games, The Outlast Trials puts a multiplayer spin on the very effective, very grisly formula, as you play a homeless person who “volunteers” for trials with The Murkoff Corporation, who have the kind of name that just sounds evil, like Disney. I’ve been playing The Outlast Trials, a game I’ve been looking forward to for quite a few years after being the leader of the Outlast 2 Defense Force, as part of its Closed Beta on Steam. It pretty much never lets up from that point and while the game itself is certainly fun, it doesn’t really give itself (or its scares) enough room to breathe. Before you’ve even pressed a button, it eviscerates some poor guy in front of you, then drills something into your face in first-person while the music sounds like a chainsaw being accosted by a gang of hoodlum bees. ![]() Also, I understand people complaining about the game being repetitive however I do not feel that way about the game.The Outlast Trials wants you to know that it’s hardcore pretty much immediately - it’s not like those other multiplayer horror games. Also, there is a lot of trial and error, so be ready to die several times reasonlessly. Mechanics are great and I haven't find a bug. Unlike RE7, you never feel safe, there is no safe room or weapons to protect you. I found it compelling so far, though I anticipate the ending will not reveal everything. The subjects on the games are reserved for Adults. B- STORY- This is not a game for kids or teenagers. The atmosphere created submerses you into the game (also, it's half the price of an AAA game- it is as nice as RE7- leave the VR aside). A- GRAPHICS- The game looks I played same 10 hours on this game, on normal (as my son advised me that Outlast games are really hard on hard).
