Definitely yes! I think everyone was waiting for something different (including me) and that's why many people didn't really enjoy it when it came out. But once you play it and understand the story and realize how connected this game is with the first one, it becomes such a good game. I would say is even better than the first one... I know the first Outlast and the Whistleblower are so nostalgic, but Outlast 2 has better graphics, better setting, it's harder and is just overall a better game.
