Critic Reviews​

AltChar - Asmir Kovacevic - 85 / 100

If you seek a gaming experience that encapsulates the anxiety and dread reminiscent of a horror movie, where you find yourself as nothing more than helpless prey awaiting capture, then The Outlast Trials is the perfect fit for you.

Eurogamer - Vikki Blake - 3 / 5

The Outlast Trials is excessive and frantically enjoyable - but can occasionally tip over into frustration more than fear.

GamingBolt - Shunal Doke - 8 / 10

Despite its focus on co-op, The Outlast Trials presents a strong early showing through its early access release. It runs well, has an interesting setting and story, and the co-op can be incredibly fun if you play it with the right group. The only downside is that jump scares might not be everyone's cup of tea.

God is a Geek - Chris White - 7 / 10

The Outlast Trials is possibly the most deranged the series has ever been, with plenty of smart ideas albeit quite sparse on content.

IGN - Travis Northup - 7 / 10

The Outlast Trials is a unique cooperative horror game with a lot of potential, but it's one of those early access games that's unpolished and lacking content.

Push Square - Liam Croft - 7 / 10

It may not be the next single player terror fans of its predecessors are looking for, but The Outlast Trials successfully translates the series' formula for a co-op setting. Hiding from gory psychopaths and utilising night vision is still the name of the game - now you simply do it alongside up to three friends online. Though silly enemy AI and some repetitive visual assets drag the experience down, The Outlast Trials is an example of a former single player game turned online title done right.

SpaceNerd.it - Mattia Mariano - Italian - 9 / 10

The Game as a Service formula of The Outlast Trials is challenging and punishing, but also functional and fun. Each element integrates perfectly into what is a game formula so distant from the saga's origins, but at the same time so functional.

Try Hard Guides - Erik Hodges - 10 / 10

The Outlast Trials is going to take the multiplayer horror genre by storm, with a game that’s just as truly terrifying with friends as it is alone.
