Pros
Pro Really scary
Outlast combines its tense atmosphere, creepy setting, stellar sound design, and a cast of horrifying inpatients to deliver a truly nightmarish experience. The developers even replaced the usual flashlight found in horror games with a camcorder, which has this really creepy nightvision mode.
Pro Unpredictable inpatients make exploration more tense
Outlast proves that people can be much scarier than ghosts. As you explore the dark hallways of the insane asylum, you’ll encounter many inpatients. Some of them good, some of them bad, but all of them crazy. So it’s sometimes really hard to tell which one will attack you. While some of them make it very obvious by holding knives or looking especially atrocious, sometimes they will attack unexpectedly. This uncertainty will creep inside your head, making exploration a lot more tense.
Pro Your character is really agile
Unlike most horror games where your character is clumsy and slow, in Outlast your character can actually move really well. Not only is your character fast enough to be able to outrun most enemies in the game, he also knows how to parkour. You can jump, grab ledges and climb them, and even slide over a table during a chase. This makes it a really refreshing horror experience.
Pro Way more content over Forza 5
There are many new tracks and events to be found in Forza 6 over the previous title.
Pro Great selection of vehicles, each with a ton of customizability
While the number of cars may be less than previous iterations of the game, the variety in the types of cars is quite wide. and eclectic, meaning that there should be a few vehicles to be found that appeal to just about everyone. What is even greater though, is that each vehicle can be deeply customized. So not only can you drive a Volvo big rig in the game, but you can pimp it out as well as fine tune it.
Pro Cool rain effect shows off the graphics quite well
While not dynamic, the rain effect in game looks amazing nd easily shows off the looks and performace of the title.
Pro Stable frame rate keeps the player in the action
Racing games, just like fighting games make or break by their FPS and Forza 6 succeeds in this case, thanks to a stable 60fps that runs at a 1080p resolution. Keeping the game at a stable framerate allows the player to stay focused on the action over being taken out of it due to stutter or skipped frames.
Cons
Con A little too reliant on jump scares
In some parts of exploring the insane asylum there are too many jump scares one after another. After a while it loses its scare factor and instead becomes somewhat annoying. This feels like a missed opportunity to build on the dark and gritty atmosphere of the insane asylum.
Con No substance, unrealized potential and utterly disappointing
Once you get past the jump scares, gore and shock value you might find that there's very little to keep you invested and going back for more. Boredom may sink in nearing the end, with a sense of longing for the game to just be over. However, the night vision mechanic was fresh and unique at the time and introduced a sense of suspense, which other developers have lent from Outlast since. If you're a fan of traditional western horror games you will not disappointed, but if you're looking for something more to your horror games besides learning paths and jump scares, you might want to steer clear of Outlast.
Con Cliche story
The typical horror story protagonist goes to investigate a location that simply oozes danger. As if the abandoned SWAT trucks, locked doors, and boarded up windows were not telling enough, the protagonist realizes his terrible mistake right when there's no way back already.
Con Split screen does not allow garage share
Player Two is stuck with stock cars.
Con Sim settings feel off
Forza 6 has tweaked grip in the game, which causes some odd behaviors like a rolling crash when in a straight way.
Con Difficulty fluctuates
Some races are too easy while others are extremely too difficult, there is no rhyme or reason as to when any of this happens though.
