I really enjoyed the first one (haven't played the DLC) but I'm unsure what they can do to further the series.I was reading in the comments that the developers should give you ways to delay your pursuer. Kind of like the flamethrower from Alien Isolations and it's gadgets.
And you should really play the DLC if you get the chance. It outdid the main game in every way.

I'm getting some serious Hills Have Eyes vibes.

That corn field action looks stressful as hell. I'm looking forward to being lost there

Hmmm...I'm surprised there is a demo.I wonder if the devs took any cues from Alien: Isolation.
Outlast is great, but it's nowhere near Alien: Isolation's level, and neither is the second from what I played in the demo.
It bothers me a tad there is zero connection between the first Outlast and it's sequel here. From beginning to end, nothing. Not even a reference unless you count the religious tones both games have but that's about it.
I was expecting a twist like the settlement was founded by a relative of Father Martin, residents of said settlement are asylum inmates from the previous game that escaped, Walrider is secluded and worshipped like it's a god, or everything happening in the game is an open field experiment conducted by the Murkoff Corporation. But nothing like that happens. You're just a guy constantly getting chased by a cult, having a mental breakdown over it while remembering his traumatic childhood. It's like if Silent Hill was the canon sequel to Resident Evil. It makes no sense.

The Outlast bridging comic exlained that Temple Gate was their big experiment following the events of the asylum experiment to try something larger scale. They used the radio towers to send signals (those huge flashes of light that disoriented everyone) that made everyone in the town crazy. It's why the main character was hallucinating throughout the entire thing.

Also, not a fan of the ending now that I'm done. We didn't get good payoff on all the characters like Outlast 2 delivered on all it's psychos. No one was as good as Trager or the Groom. This game was scarier than the first game, and improved on just about every aspect besides the characters.
Just to clarify, it's not the actual ending I had a problem with. That was cool, beautiful, and kind of fked up. It's the lack of involvement in the ending for the actual characters. Father Knoth had no pay off to justify the focus the story had on him, and we had no ending for Val. She just disappeared. Marta was the only one who had an ending, and it wasn't as satisfying as Wallrider wrecking the hell out of Chris in the first game.

Now ya see neither I nor many people know there's a comic and that explanation would've been better off in the game itself than confuse and irritate everybody wondering what's happening especially with that ending that feels like "buy our DLC to know what's up".
