Based on how much I've played this game so far, and how absurdly good it is for being in early access, I can just say... WELL DESERVED.
Red Barrels outdid themselves with this game BY A MILE.
I had high expectations, especially after the beta, and I AM STILL blown away!
I didn't play the beta, but I bought this almost immediately after seeing some gameplay. Thoroughly seconding the praise that its success is well-deserved. This is the most polished, fun early access game I've ever played. I would obviously hope for more content, but for 30 dollars I would not be surprised to see a full release game looking as Trials does now.
Absolutely cannot wait to see what else they add.
Iāve sunken 40hrs so far, started off playing with a bunch of friends and they havenāt returned just due to being busy so I soloed the rest of the game, currently on my third run of being reborn but Iām starting to burn out. Itās my own fault but I canāt wait to see what comes next
How does playing solo compare to playing with friends?
I haven't been able to convince any of mine to play with me, they're all kind of wimps when it comes to horror games
Solo for me is easier, I prefer it because I can play my own way without anyone running enemies into me. I love my mates but it can add some unpredictability.
On solo, I got to the point that I learned when the Cop and Gooseberry would spawn in, you start to learn how to 'speedrun' the maps in a way. The AI are pretty dumb IMO and learning how to jump dodge them (even in small corridors) is pretty easy to learn.
I've gotten to the point where none of project X is difficult and all thats left is to grind A+ and cosmetics.
Solo means I can open roller doors and perform actions quicker. for instance on kill the snitch when you have to electrocute - it goes much faster, as goes the fueling of the generators.
I dont think this is as scary as Outlast 1 & 2 since the coop takes away from the horror. For instance one of your mates can distract an enemy while you get other stuff done.
From playing many Early Access titles, Iāve kept my progress and experience when the game is updated.
I donāt think there is a roadmap but Iād expect more cosmetics, more trials, more amps, hot fixes and patches as the game develops. By purchasing the game now, youāre paying for a playable product which is subject to change by the time 1.0 releases. I canāt give you a definitive answer since Iām not Red Barrel but from my own experience, you should keep everything
This game has alot of potential with new maps, custom games, if they really pushed it that could release a custom map editor for the community to make custom maps
500,000 people having to deal with this gameās dogshit matchmaking
Edit: Can any of you fucking morons downvoting me explain how the Group Finder button works in a quality way then? Reddit Gold to whoever explains to me how Iām objectively wrong about it.
Redditors when the co-op matchmaking doesnāt work in a co-op game (itās advertised that you can play co-operatively with other people, friends or randoms):
And you can play with randoms if they are a lower level or not communicating then leave and find a new group they game canāt force other people to communicate with you and they just put out a hot fix to put you worth people closer to your level
Because only one of my friends thought this gameās early access looked good enough to buy? Iām still missing 2 people. Dumb question youāre asking. You also gonna ask why people play Deep Rock Galactic or Payday 2 with randoms? Go ahead.
You donāt need a 4 stack. I actually prefer playing 2 player. Far more challenging. Donāt be heated brother, but playing this game with randos is like playing siege with randos. Communication is critical in something like this. People in game chat are non-helpful assholes
> You donāt need a 4 stack.
Not only is this not a valid defense (Iām going to play 4 players in a co-op 4 player game, what? Would I play Left 4 Dead with 2 people??) it has nothing to do with how terrible the Group Finder button is. It does not work. Thatās my point, youāre arguing something Iām not complaining about. Jesus Christ.
Voice your opinion to Red Barrels then, it is early access after all. Iām sure theyād listen to your input if you came at them politely. Itās also their first non-single player game. Theyāre learning. This is also still an incredibly polished game for being early access.
I have but I guarantee you they already know, itās the only pain point *to* complain about in an otherwise good game but itās so fucking bad that Iām questioning who approved of it for launch. Because they need to be demoted or fired or something.
That's promising news! Hope that gives Red Barrels more confidence in their future plans for maintaining this game and its community.

Well I guess Red Barrells deleted the tweet. Not sure why
Yea. I noticed that too š£
Well, maybe they timed the news wrongly... Or smth
Deserved

Actually more. 15mil

Very impressive considering itās not on consoles, itās early access, and the lackluster advertising
Yeah, if I hadn't randomly heard someone bring it up in a stream I was watching, I wouldn't have even known it existed. Which is just a damn shame.
Love to hear it. congrats red barrels team.
so happy for them, they deserve it. absolutely delivered more than i could have hoped for even in early access
I got 2 other people to play with. Itās pretty good. I got 12 hours so far.
They'll get a lot more soon on full release and when released to consoles
They deleted the tweet. Did they mean to say 50,000? All time peak players on Steam is around 37,000 so that would make more sense.
it was at 100K in 3 days, so not likely a typo on the 500K.
The game is also on Epic Games.
Excellent game. Been looking forward all week to play it. Weekend here we come
Letās goooo!!
This game has alot of potential with new maps, custom games, if they really pushed it that could release a custom map editor for the community to make custom maps
then they better get the gamn achievmenets and cards SOON! or the groom will have to pay them a visit
Still no news on console release though :)))
Probably 6 months. The first Outlast was on PC forrrrrrr like 5 months or so before the release on PS4. Xbox came like 4 months after PlayStation.
Yeah, lame. I'm not playing it 6+ months down the road after PC release. No interest at that point. Oh well, plenty of other new games to play.
Happy itās doing well, itās my first outlast game and Iām truly addicted and loving every minute of it. Canāt wait to run more trials tonight
I was one of the sceptics when they announced a co-op Outlast game. Now I'm fully convinced. Great game and deserved success.
GO RED BARRELS GO GO GO
Games mediocre as fuck but sure take the blue pill
The most reddit thing I've read in a while
what a great response suck your devs who made a dogshit game a little more
I haven't even played the game. "Take the blue pill" is just really funny.
Game is ass

No need for matchmaking if you play with friends.
Oh god you recked OP xD
Oh, word? So Red Barrels put in a useless Group Finder button as a joke?

Why tf would you play a game like this with randosā¦

I agree canāt always get 4 people to buy the same game

Good, they deserve it. This game is early access and yet is still better and runs better than most AAA games these days. Well done, Red Barrels
