Good execution for what is exactly Outlast but co-op.
I haven't played Outlast 1 or 2, but as someone who enjoys co-op this is a fun time with friends, even more so if they are easily scared. Haven't seen any performance issues and the objectives are tied into the context of the map's theme and layout.
The lobby system is neat, while character customization is limited, it's pretty cool that you can decorate your room and have friends visit. The room options don't leave much freedom either but how it ties into the lobbies is well-designed.

If I had to complain, it would be the lack of map/enemy variety in conjunction with it's somewhat hefty price tag, but the underlying systems (great connectivity in multiplayer and the fact that I can't remember any bugs I encountered) are very solid which is extremely rare for an Early Access launch.

With the price tag in mind, if you're on the fence I'd say maybe wait half a year and see how much content they added by then, otherwise I recommend this co-op/horror blend wholeheartedly.
