Is the Outlast trials worth it?

[Themasterofgunz]

I can’t decide whether I should buy this game or starship troopers extermination, From what I’ve seen, this game really does interest me and it’s only £25 but also I’ve seen people say that this game will get repetitive after 20+ hours or so, also is this game good for solos and randoms since only 2 friends own this game and they aren’t always available to play so is it good for solo/randoms as well?

these are two widly different games for widly different people, one is a horde co-op shoot-em-up while the other is a exercise of futility and trying to get tasks assigned to you accomplished in horror/low light settings.

YMMV in outlast trials but you can solo if you want, starship troopers i cannot speak for yet.

152 hours in, still enjoying it. It's early access, meaning it's not got it's full content yet. They're going to gradually add more to it but it's more than worth playing.

i have both, starship troopers is kinda repetitive (and a little clunky, i think inputs are server based so there's weird input lag) tbh but i don't have many hours. each game feels essentially the same and i got bored of it quickly, where as outlast trials does have some decent variety in terms of trials + mk trials/rigs/modifiers. i would also say outlast trials is more challenging where as starship troopers is not and is very forgiving if you die (except extracting where respawning is disabled, and even then dying there only happens if you're really REALLY bad) so it's incredibly casual.

but the thing is they are both entirely different games so you can't compare really

I have both games, but they are too wildly different to compare. I'll just get into super generalizations.

I will say in terms of performance and content Outlast Trials has Starship Troopers beat. Starship has some of the worst performance I have seen, but its fun enough to ignore these flaws.

Starship troopers has 2 game modes with only 2 maps, so the game gets repetitive a lot faster.

Starship easier to play online with than Outlast. Since its a 16 co-op PVE its really easy to get in a game and work with people. You wont feel isolated without a mic like Outlast.

Outlast feels like a more complete game. If starship developers claimed the game was still in beta I would 100% believe.

I have about the same amount of time in each game. I find starship good for mindless fun while Outlast is something I play to relax with friends.
