Horrifyingly good

Warning: Spoilers
I have not seen the ending to this game or anything like that so I probably shouldn't be reviewing it but I don't care I'm a rebel. Outlast 2 takes place after Outlast 1 and Whistleblower. It has you take control of a man named Blake Langermann, the camera man for investigative reporter and wife Lynn Langermann. They were exploring a report of a Jane Doe found dead and pregnant in the desert of Arizona. When they get there, the helicopter crashes leaving Blake to search for Lynn in the desert. Later it's revealed there's a town in the desert that is basically a cult. As he sneaks through the town he finds his wife Lynn who is revealed to be pregnant. This would be a good thing if they weren't being chased by a cult of hillbillies who believe they should kill every baby born to prevent the anti-Christ from being born. To top that off there's another cult in the mix fighting the other cult. So you and your apparently pregnant wife are in the middle of a bloody cult war. With no way of harming your enemies you must either run, hide, or die. The game has a great story with truly horrifying moments, taking what made the first Outlast amazing and multiplying it. With more controversial topics such as murder, incest, rape, and religion, Outlast 2 is not for the easily triggered of feint of heart. Other than that it's an amazing game. Definitely worth a play and the praise it gets.
