Here, gamers learn how to run, hide in lockers and under beds, and use their installed night vision goggles for dark areas. Players choose a character model for themselves and are immediately thrown into a tutorial level. The Outlast Trials follows this formula pretty similarly. Overall, the level of tense horror this franchise creates has been well-received and cemented in the genre. Players must scavenge the areas for replacement batteries for this camera, due to the night vision draining the battery when in use. Beyond healing items, the player gets a video camera that, beyond recording for lore collection purposes, has a night vision mode that is essential to navigating anywhere dark in varying levels. The protagonist must run, hide, and sneak to get anywhere in the game. There are no weapons, no melee ability, and no traps to set. What drives the horror in Outlast is the lack of any ability to defend oneself. I can report that I am so glad I was wrong about this game and I cannot wait to play more of it on its launch.įor those unfamiliar with the franchise, Outlast is a survival horror series whose first entry made its mark in 2013. However, on the last night of the beta, I decided to give it a try with a friend of mine. Considering what little I knew about it, consisting of the general premise of a prequel multiplayer experience, I was going to skip it. However, as much as I enjoy the Outlast franchise, I didn’t really have my eye on The Outlast Trials, developer Red Barrels’ newest entry. Having played games all my life anything that shakes up what I expect a gaming session to be, piques my interest. My fellow gaming enthusiasts, I am always on the look for unique co-op experiences. A crazy and unexpected ride through co-op horror town
