Outlast vs Thief 2: The Metal Age
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.
Thief 2: The Metal Age
Thief 2: The Metal Age is the highly anticipated, award-winning sequel to the incredible, stealth-based game, Thief (now called Thief Gold). This game features 15 new, non-linear and complex levels filled with tons of stuff to steal and guards to outwit. The AI in the game has been drastically improved as well, along with the addition of new tools to use and a compelling storyline set in an alternative world where powerful technologies and fanatical religion streneously co-existed.Despite being a rather old-school game, you can experience why this game franchise has blown up back then. Its stealth-based gameplay is pretty awesome and the plot is the best in the series. It is actually this second installment which had inducted the Thief game series into the coveted games' Hall of Fame!
