What is Outbreak?

For you if...

  • +you want cooperative horror with a local split-screen partner

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer fast-paced action over slow, careful exploration

What players say

Players praise its classic survival horror approach. Recurring complaints concern clunky controls and an inventory that leaves little room for weapons, supplies, and keys.
