Outlast vs The Last of Us
Outlast
Outlast is an intensely-terrifying, first-person survival horror game where you play the inquisitive investigative journalist Miles Upshur who taking a look at the shady Mount Massive Asylum that was recently reopened by the equally shifty Murkoff Corporation. The asylum has been operating in secrecy and you are there to find out why! Of course, when the truth is revealed to you... you might think twice about your eagerness to uncover it in the first place.Being a story-driven game, you can expect excellent narrative, apt sound effects and immersive graphics to help you push the story along. Unlike some horror games, you can't fight in this game - you are merely a journalist, after all. Thus, its gameplay is rather stealth-based with some elements of parkour. So, you'll need to rely on your awareness and instinct to decide when you'll need to hide and when to simply run for your life. Naturally, you wouldn't want to be caught by any of the asylum's terrifying, criminally-insane patients.
If you're looking for a game to scare the hell out of you before even Halloween comes around, Outlast is the perfect game to do that. Be sure to be prepared for a truly terrifying scare and keep the young uns far away.
The Last of Us
The Last of Us is one of the most critically-acclaimed adventure game, mainly because of the incredibly well-written and paced as well as emotionally-charged storyline that purportedly can make most grown men weep. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where infected humans or hostile survivors roam abound, you'll play as Joel, a mercenary who was hired to smuggle a 14-year-old girl, Ellie, out from the military quarantine zone. However, as you might expect, things went wrong and you'll find yourself making the journey the gruelling way instead.The Last of Us has won multiple awards and nominations since its release and has been touted as one of the most well-made console game for 2013. This is not at all surprising considering how well the game was made and how amazing both the graphics and the sound complement each other.
