How Scary is The Outlast Trials?

The latest installment in the Outlast series, The Outlast Trials, is officially here and has proved that the series hasn’t lost its true spooky nature. With The Outlast Trials, Red Barrels has pushed all the boundaries, especially with the new co-op feature that allows gamers to experience the horrors of The Outlast Trials with their friends.

Like the previous games, players must once again rely on stealth tactics to survive in The Outlast Trials, however, the co-op mode introduces 4 characters that have unique abilities, which can be useful while running away from monstrous enemies in the game. The Outlast Trials was released on March 5, 2024, on Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.

The Outlast Trials features co-op mode

Red Barrels’ latest psychological horror survival video game, The Outlast Trials, is the third game in the Outlast series and features something that fans have never experienced in the series: a co-op mode. The game boasts impressive graphics on Windows, which may require a good PC, and a spooky atmosphere that will always keep you on your toes.

While this may not sound like a ground-breaking feature for a horror game, Red Barrels has put this feature in the game for a reason. Since the game supports four-player co-op multiplayer, it features four distinct character classes and skill trees. This gives each character useful abilities such as seeing through walls, healing other players, placing mines, and throwing a device that stuns the enemies.

The Outlast Trials co-op mode can only be cleared with good teammates

For many gamers, finding a good teammate to play The Outlast Trials is harder than the game itself. As per PCGamer, you can only enjoy the co-op mode if you have good teammates because you rely on them to help you survive. If you are the friend that everyone relies on, then you might have to hide in lockers, sneak past enemies, stay in the shadows, and hide behind or under things to survive.

The game is certainly not easy and constantly failing due to bad teammates can be frustrating. Therefore, it is advisable to gather skilled friends who are brave enough to face the horrors of The Outlast Trials. After all, the game is ultimately about having a good horror experience with your peers.

The Outlast Trials is available on Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
