The Outlast Trials

great co-op horror game! at first I didn't really like it and thought it was too scary (and that is something I think they should change, adding a no/less gore option would go a long way), but after pushing through and focusing more on the gameplay rather than being afraid, I ended up enjoying it a lot. the game gets regular updates (its sadly online only and live service, so play it while it lasts I guess) and I recommend playing it only if you have someone else to play with, since while doable alone, the game is much more fun, enjoyable and designed around having at least 2 players (was actually my friend who convinced me to buy the game). the difficulty curve is well tuned, with "Introductory" being great to actually learn the mechanics of the game and to learn how to do the objectives (I recommend playing 1-2 trials on it before standard makes more sense to play). it has a wide breadth of content (trials, challenges, events, escalation, invasion, rebirthing, relapsing, etc) with a lot of variators (best used on escalation) to keep the core gameplay fresh and challenging. the prime assets are very well designed, both in visual presentation and voice acting. the game works well on Linux, even though it uses Easy AntiCheat. TL;DR very fun co-op survival horror game, I recommend buying for yourself and a friend when it's on sale, which happens pretty regularly.
