The Outlast Trials Review

Developer Red Barrels’ Outlast franchise is among the most unsettling, sadistic, and immersive in gaming, pitting dramatically disadvantaged protagonists against a torrent of terrifying and murderous monstrosities. In The Outlast Trials, Red Barrels takes the franchise’s core concepts and applies them to a series of experimental trials, which fans can take on in both single and multiplayer. Players are forced to complete a variety of bizarre tasks, before making their escape from each trial. However, they must do so while being mercilessly hunted by a range of terrifying enemies. While The Outlast Trials delivers a delightfully disturbing multiplayer experience, a lack of polish in key areas and a lack of true scares may leave some longtime fans disappointed.
