I gave Red Barrels’ Outlast a fantastic review a few months ago. Despite my wonderful experience with the main game, I waited until the Whistleblower DLC was on sale before buying it for myself. I usually think DLC is — no matter how polished it may be — overpriced. It is very, very seldom that I believe DLC surpasses the original game. Most often, DLC recaptures a piece of the main game. It serves to augment the feeling, the energy or the length of a game. Rarely can DLC stand on its own. Whistleblower is one of those rarities. It is more cohesive, more dynamic, more immersive and a hell of a lot scarier than the (already impressive) game it is attached to. Warning: This article contains gruesome images (they’re not real, so please man up), (gruesomely?) minor spoilers and offensive parenthetical statements.
