This game I really enjoyed this game, I started off playing with mouse and keyboard but the 360 controller is by far the best way to play.

Thankfully I'm old and moved out because I'd owe my mother's "swear jar" a sock full of nickles for the outbursts I've had while fleeing in this game. As the song by Radiohead goes "You do it to yourself, you do, and that's what really hurts (or in this case, scares!)" It's not a long game, the designers seem to know better than to wear out their welcome and at 8 hours of play time I feel I've more than gotten my money's worth for a lifetime memorable experience. You force yourself to creep through darkness and use up every bit of electricity from each set of batteries even though your vision is failing just to save those precious batteries for when you can't make it without them. which gives the world a very limited distance green/black view and also will quickly drain the batteries. Also effective in building the tension is that the player's only way to see in the dark is through the night vision of the camera. Outlast masters both the art of pop out scares and a slow burn tense atmosphere, made much more compelling by music that reacts to the situation and dozens of small touches like seeing your hands as you clutch to the edge of a corridor to peek around the next hallway or the heavy ragged breathing of the player's character exerted from fleeing for his life but desperately trying to keep quiet in his hiding place to escape the horrors chasing him. It presents a shockingly well polished game for a budget title price, and has become my favorite surprise hit of 2013.
