The main story that takes place is about these two cults, Temple Gate and The Heretics. Jessica is quite the mysterious element of the game but truth be told she’s the only character that is really well developed throughout the story.Īs for the overall story itself, Outlast 2 technically consists of two story lines happening simultaneously, one of them being set in this village that you’ve crashed in and one of them taking place in the past at Blake’s old high school. We only really see and learn about Jessica during the flashback sequences of the game but whenever they took place they really successfully captivated the player. However it isn’t all doom and gloom for character development as there is one character that really stuck out for me and that was Blake and Lynn’s old high school friend Jessica. The only reason I do know about Knoth and Val’s division is due to these collectables. There are collectables that you can find and pick up to help you learn more about the world you’re in but the game relies too heavily on the chance you’ll find these. Other than that I honestly couldn’t say much more about them as they weren’t really fleshed out in the game and story.

Val is full of lust whilst Knoth is quite the opposite and believes that anything of the sexual nature is a sin. Knoth and Val were once friends but went separate ways as Val began to believe that Knoth was wrong about the God that he follows. The most I can share about these factions and their leaders is that they’re part of a twisted cult who are obsessed with children. There are one too many moments where Blake just states the obvious in the game which to an extent has a bit of a condescending tone to the player.Īs for the antagonists in the game, Knoth who is the leader of Temple Gate and Val who is the leader of The Heretics, are again these are very under-developed characters. You also slowly begin to get annoyed with Blake within the game, especially with the over abundance of exponential dialogue that comes from him. If this game was an open world survival I would guarantee you that a majority of players would most likely leave Lynn behind. In fact you will find yourself just focusing on surviving and trying to find the next way out rather than being dedicated to finding Lynn. No real relationship is built between them. All we have to go on is the fact that we crashed with her and she is our wife so therefore we have to find her. When playing as Blake as the story progresses there isn’t any real drive to save his wife Lynn Langermann as she is quite under-developed. One instance of this is with the characters of the story. Whilst there are elements which really make this game quite enjoyable it still stumbles on a few things. Unfortunately Outlast 2 has its fair share of flaws.
The enemy AI are more difficult to escape, there’s a lot more interaction available with the world that we’re presented and it delivers us a whole new original story. Outlast 2 improves on many features which we had introduced to us in the original Outlast game whilst also introducing to us a few new ones. Unfortunately, Blake and Lynn get separated in a helicopter crash, and Blake has to find his wife while traveling through a village inhabited by a sect that believes the end of days is upon them. The story features a journalist named Blake Langermann, along with his wife Lynn, roaming the Arizona desert to explore the murder of a pregnant woman, Jane Doe. Outlast 2 is the sequel to Outlast which was released in 2013.
