Outlast Goes Online: New Co-Op Mode Brings Classic Horror Series to 4 Players
- Converts Outlast into an online co-op experience for up to 4 players, retains some of the horror aspects but isn't as scary as previous entries
- Players complete trials set by scientists, earn rewards to upgrade abilities; addictive gameplay loop of replaying for better scores and gear
- Environments dripping in blood and gore, very clean 4K 60fps presentation, visually appealing aside from repetitive assets
- Enemy AI isn't very smart, easy to escape from monsters which reduces tension
- Successfully brings core Outlast hiding and night vision gameplay to co-op, a good example of transitioning a single player series online
