Amnesia or Outlast?

[Lunapeach]

I've heard that both of these games are really good,but i don't know which one to get.

[SQUABO]

I like Amnesia more. It's very tense, atmospheric, you never really expect it. In Outlast, it's like everywhere you go there's a monster. You get used to it.

Outlast is basically you traversing a haunted gory house with some excellent panic inducing moments, but with a very lacking story and no puzzles, i would recommend getting both the games, but amnesia is my first choice in the matter

Outlast is on the Humble Bundle this week, so you can pay what you want for it.
So that way you can get both :)

Amnesia is far better.Really dont know why they are in comparision all the time
first person view and no weapons

Depending on your prefrence of games, if you like a seemingly short game with tons of custom storys and mods avalible to the game then Amnesia is more for you, if you want a game that has a secondary story and then that be it, then outlast is more for you then

Outlast is pure jump scare, this is real psychological horror.

I am more to Amnesia because when your done with the main game, there is endless of custom stories and some of them are really good!

Amnesia is an actual horror game where you fear its ambience, atmosphere and threats around every corner.

Outlast is a jumpscare game where you fear the flashing screen and loud sound that's about to happen every 2 minutes. Strip away the jumpscares and there's really nothing scary left.

They're 2 entirely different games, despite the fact that they're both 1st person games without weapons. Stop comparing the two.

If you appreciate a high amount of replay value, definitely choose Amnesia. It's got tons of custom content created by its community.

Outlast was very dissapointing. It was mostly: get the key or turn on 2 switches while there is an enemy roaming around.

They're both great games, you should get both if you can spend the money. If you want a longer game, get Amensia, if you want a faster paced game, get Outlast.

Amnesia 1st then Outlast.Amnesia is suspence and a masterpiece

Run down A to B pathway scanning everything for collectibles and running to a spot and waiting 1 minute everytime a monster appears

Outlast wants to throw you in danger as soon as possible.
Amnesia takes a 40 minute to built.
Outlast have frequent challenges, even in puzzles they sent enemies after you. It gives you no breathing, no break. While Amnesia has these 'contrast' places, puzzle hubs that make you feel safe to only prepare you to horrors ahead. Also amnesia is more video gamey, and I'm saying this as a compliment because we live in a pretentious age that walking simulators considered as high art, unfortunately. Amnesia has inventory and sanity system to spice up to gameplay but ironically Outlast manages to invite more player involvement without having cool gameplay features.

I think Amnesia is a very smart game. But when you think about it, it too smart for its own good. While Outlast wants be challenging with its persistent enemies and encouraging players to getting good, Amnesia throws you in fake dangers, situations designed for avarage players in mind to beat without failing in order to prevent breaking their immersion. The two games are good for what their worth but whatever their pace may be, they both lack actual danger and the progression loss as the best deterrant. I wouldn't go ahead and called them masterpiece. Neither of them. Their most notable difference is contextual and that's something to do with personal tastes.
