This was just one of several available rigs to choose from at the start, and the others seemed equally viable. In my own demo of Trials’ first level, I chose the X-Ray rig, which temporarily granted me the ability to see through walls and see in the dark without draining my night-vision battery, and it was so useful in spite of its reasonably long cooldown that a lack of battery pickups posed much less of a challenge. You never get to brandish a weapon against your unhinged assailants, but as previously mentioned you can equip a multitude of different perks and mods to give yourself an edge, not unlike the perk system fans of Dead By Daylight have grown accustomed to. The improved visuals are also a nice touch, and might make the game’s locations feel even scarier than they did in the two previous games.The good news is there are plenty of ways to survive it all – if you’re smart. The only thing that the series was lacking was some real replay value, and that might be fixed with the inclusion of a multiplayer mode. This is a franchise that has always shown a ton of potential with its exciting blend of survival horror and found footage gameplay. It’s great to see Red Barrells continuing the Outlast legacy. Sharing the fear could sound like it would diminish the impact of the game’s scary visuals, but games like Dead by Daylight have proved that multiplayer horror games are as effective as singleplayer ones.
For the first time in the Outlast series, players will have to cooperate with a friend to solve the game’s sadistic puzzles.
Of course, the star of the show here is the multiplayer feature. However, that doesn’t mean that Outlast Trials won’t have its fair share of terrifying locations, as we’ve seen that things like abandoned warehouses and spooky haunted mansions will be part of the game. It seems like this game has taken a page out of Outlast II’s book, featuring some larger open spaces that look nothing like the first Outlast claustrophobic asylum. The few scenes we’ve seen so far of Outlast Trials look positively fantastic, in a twisted way. As we know from games like Outlast: Whistleblower, this series has never shied away from touchy subjects, and it seems like Trials will keep some of that infamously twisted atmosphere intact.
