I love the explore and reward system, though they did that perfectly IMHO.

There must be some docs hidden in some seriously hard to find places. PS my one complaint is I explored EVERYWHERE and didn't get the 'all documents' Trophy. Overall, I give it a 9.5/10.Īnd to think, on PS4, with PS+, you get it free as game of the month, what a tremendous value! I never play horror games, but this one was completely worth it. Just wish the ending was a bit different and maybe offered an alternate one. Does outlast have multiple endings Whilst there are no choices that unlock separate endings for Outlast 2, it does contain two slight variations on its ending which helps add a little more context and doubt into parts of the story. Almost reminds me of Half Life 2 in terms of immersion, at least. Segments of running and hiding from monsters, segments of exploring (with rewards), etc plus the extremely good graphics. If nothing else, some post-credits drama would have helped. Having the option to actually EXIT the facliity and believe your footage would reach the world would have been a great ending, even if a secondary one. I wish there had at least been multiple endings–they do a great job of teasing you with EXIT signs all over the place that you can't quite reach. But you're filming hours and hours of footage for journalism purposes, to expose what's going on there, to the world. I agree with MehodMan's assessment of what happened. I have to admit I didn't care for the ending. The perspective was simply shifting from Mile's body to the blackness of the swarm. The entire game was a first person perspective game. That was the transition of the fade to black with the sounds. But his mind stayed alive and given the new powers of the Walrider, is now bent on inflicting the same pain and horror he was subjected to since the beginning of the game. Releasing all fear of death (accepting and, in a sense, grateful) for being shot and putting an end to this nightmare allowed his consciousness to release from his body and fuse fully with the Walrider. I think the fear, coupled with the fact that he started out as a sane person (the project had only used psychopaths before) and the constant near death experience, Miles finally unhinged his consciousness from his body. Hence, father Martin needed to prepare it a fresh sacrifice.

Billy was too far gone and imprisoned (plus rapidly aging) and therefore would not survive long as its current host. The Walrider is a collective swarm of nanites that can only remain cohesive with the consciousness of a living entity. But in order to 'prepare' him, he had to witness the horrors of Mount Massive as only someone who had witnessed death can control the Walrider. Basically, 'father' Martin wanted Miles to be a vessel. I also get why Wernicke had Miles shot (to keep the secret in Mount Massive).

I get that the Walrider inhabited Miles because Billy was dying. My interpretation of the ending was slightly different.
