story and dialogue good?

[mckracken]

is there an overarching story that ties all the missions together?
do the missions have story and or dialogue?

[IcemayneXXV]

The overarching story is that you are being trained by Murkoff to be a sleeper agent. All the trials are within this training facility. The missions are all "training" to become this sleeper agent. You can get most of the story through the lore scattered throughout the different "trials".

You can play by yourself, though it definitely will be a hell of a difficulty spike. There are a good chunk of people that play solo though.

I'd honestly argue that the game is easier on solo in some situations. Especially the first program, genesis, it's easier, but also less chaotic, and therefore somewhat less funny.

When you are first starting, Idk. For me, it took a second to learn nuances until after I played with others. Now I can run Genesis on solo with no issue. It for sure varies from person to person, so maybe it works to go solo for op. I do think the game is a ton of fun with randoms, since 99% of the ones I've played with have been solid and chill. Definitely have some fun moments with randoms, but I get the argument for solo.

I like to play sneaky solo but that's hard to do online sometimes. There I am being all ninja and a team mate comes burning around a corner and brings the enemies right to me lol. Solo you can go at your own pace, MP with people who know the maps can feel rushed. Both ways are fun though

[ShockedHearts]

not a story game. its a gamplay game

here is the story

you are someone who can easily be forgotten by society, who was taken in by murkoff as a "reagent" who will perform trials until they are deemed good enough to leave. leaving will result in an ending for THAT reagent and you will then make a new one and do the same with new and harder trials and get new endings

most of the story in this game comes in the form of notes/documents of which I havent read despite collecting all of them because story means nothing in this game, the game is purely meant to be played. not enjoyed like a movie or book.

trained by Murkoff for the CIA yup

and you can get lore stuff through being reborn and also collecting in-game files called evidences. The game got a lot of connections to the other games

one lore revelation also basically revealed that if there were no Trials, there wouldnt be Outlast 2

You can play solo and its not terribly difficult, some of the trials on harder difficulties can be a pain with how the AI patrols work. Stun rig is OP on solo's, blind is still good but I prefer being able to throw a concussive grenade at a moments notice.
