In addition to being a true survival horror game, Miles also can't see without using the night vision mode on his camera. Outlast doesn't fall into this cliche, and it makes the game so much better. They rely too much on jump scares until you inevitably kill the enemy with your massively over-sized gun. This is a trend that seems to have been lost in a lot of survival horror games of recent years. Miles can only rely on his ability to outmaneuver his enemies. The main character is actually not able to fight back against enemies. This makes the experience much more tense, as you never know which ones are hostile and you never know what's around the next corner. The sound design is creepy and you can always hear the inmates walking around the halls. Even more so than graphics, a good survival horror game hinges on its ability to use atmospheric sound. There are practically no downsides when it comes to the games graphics, they are nothing short of amazing. Like most other PC games, the textures are absolutely amazing and the environments and rich in detail. It shouldn't come to any surprised that Outlast looks really good. Of course, things don't go exactly as planned. The player plays as an investigative journalist, Miles Upshur, who is on an assignment to investigate an insane asylum. It was released on September 4th, 2013 for PC and will be coming out on the PS4 in February of 2014. Outlast is a new first-person survival horror PC game by Red Barrel Games.
