The puzzles are honestly not too difficult so if you are any more observant than I am you will have no trouble. I am not the most observant person, so often times I found myself stuck at certain parts of the game somewhat frustrated. The only difficult part I found throughout the game was the minor puzzles to solve.

Though I played on normal so finding batteries was not a problem for me. This can be quite annoying especially on the harder difficulties with less batteries to find. But, unlike the first game, even if you’re not using the night vision feature your battery on the camera still drains. Just like the first game you are equipped with a camcorder that has a night vision feature. There are 105 collectibles in the game that if you obtain gives you little insights into the backstory of Temple Gate, the town Papa Knoth and his followers live in. The story for Outlast 2 is not that hard to follow if you’re into collectibles. The music created for this game intensifies at certain situations making the journey to wherever you’re going next, that much more terrifying. Apart from the jump scares the game is also a psychological thriller. Within the first ten minutes of the game I found myself crouch walking everywhere with my heart beating out my chest. Much of the game is filled with intense gory situations, horrifying jump scares, and intense situations. Lynn then gets captured by heretics in conflict with Papa Knoth and its your goal to find her. You must journey into the unknown desert of Arizona to find your wife Lynn, who has been captured by “Papa” Sullivan Knoth, a Christian cultist leader who rapes the women of his town and then kills the children because he believes they are the antichrist. Quickly you realize shit is about to get real. Shortly after the crash you find the pilot of the helicopter skinned and crucified to a tree. You and your wife Lynn were traveling there to find a missing pregnant woman, Anna Lee. In Outlast 2 you play as Blake Langermann, a journalist whose helicopter has crashed in the Arizona desert. If you enjoy a plethora of jump scares, then oh boy will you enjoy this. That is the word that comes to mind when I think of Outlast 2.
