If you're a new player — the game is still fun for a while, especially if you enjoy horror and co-op.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
100 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you can't tell, I unironically adore The Outlast Trials, both on a gameplay and narrative level.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But, overall, it is a Outlast game, it gets the horror and gameplay part really good done, and I would recommend this game to everyone who likes survival, horror themes, co-op and DBD inspired multiplayer to give it a shoot, since you really get you buck back out of the game if you consider all the hours of gameplay and content you get with this game.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Yes because I truly believe it has an excellent lore and atmosphere around, there was a huge potential for a campaign but we must get satisfied with a coop game.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Players’ll find themselves solving puzzles under pressure while being hunted by enemies and on high difficulty it’s a real challenge and extremely rewarding.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's solved all of my issues with the past Outlast games: inability to fight back, frustrating hide-n-seek gameplay, repetitiveness, and poor visuals.
