More about The Outlast Trials
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 33 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 74 percent of the 5,245 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
HowLongToBeat players log 13.4 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 86, 6.4 times as much.
The rating rests on 123,558 reviews, so it is not going to move much from here.

This is my first Outlast game I have ever played but I must say it turned out better than I thought. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you combine Batman Arkham Asylum + Fallout 76 and Amnesia? You get Outlast Trials. Love the setting and yes I scream every now and then.
I love this game, it gives unique experience and questions how desensitized person can become while educating the player how to read the signs and navigate yourself in unknown environment. Yet the devs focus on adding more of competitive content and questionable choices. [*] Invasion, which makes impostors from being a hindrance into PVP gods more dangerous than Prime Assets ; [*] Escalation trial updates since...
