A new patch for Outlast II has made the game easier to play on Normal mode. The patch, which is on the way, will offer a decrease in difficulty in key moments of the game where players previously struggled. All of the harder modes will remain as difficult as they were prior. In addition to the changing of certain segments, the developers also made it so that the microphone no longer uses additional batteries so you can hide from enemies longer. Is that enough to make you want to play this game? 

I'm not brave enough, but Dean played the game and absolutely loved it.
