Sean Halliday of Pixel Gate writes: ''Outlast was one of 2013s biggest success stories, hailed as one of the scariest games of recent times. Developer Red Barrels enjoyed success thanks to a combination of solid design, a decent concept, and strong word of mouth. 2014 has now seen Outlast hit the Playstation 4, only this time people are fully aware of the games reputation. But does this have an impact on the games success this time around? Outlasts plot is rather generic on paper. Freelance journalist Miles Upshur sets off to investigative Mount Massive Asylum after receiving an anonymous tip. Upon arrival, it quickly becomes apparent that there are dark forces at work, and Miles is stuck at the centre of them.''
