    i really loved this game, it looks like a mix of the new dead island with the last of us but with horror. Today 26 April first time I'm playing something from the evil within

    Больше не пугает. До дрожи жуткий хоррор стал боевичком, и в общем-то, не то чтобы это плохо, боевичок ведь вышел неплохой. Но. Сюжет дырявый до нельзя, диалоги местами убогие, поведение персонажа местами идиотское, происходящее на экране частенько высосано из пальца. Ставлю лукас за любовь к серии и геймплей, который очень порадовал.Больше не пугает. До дрожи жуткий хоррор стал боевичком, и в общем-то, не то чтобы это плохо, боевичок ведь вышел неплохой. Но.

    the story is a bit weaker then the first game, cus the art guy was not really related to the story, gameplay is less clunky then the last game, but it's just way less intense and scary sadly, even though ending felt rushed, it's a really good ending story

    Ironically the most chill game played in years, right from nightmare, with little to no tryhard and anti-fun design.
    A work of art that also has a story to make you feel something, plus KITTY!

Много тут плюсов в этой игре , но и минусы тоже есть которые в итоге сыграли свою роль на моей оценке. Начну с минусов. 1 не интересная система прокачки. После пару часов игры я в принципе не знал что качать , потому-что вся прокачка выглядела не интересно, либо же бесполезно, как к примеру ветка для прокачки стабильности прицела, ну типо блин, я и без неё хорошо стреляю)))Или ветка прокачки близкого боя, которая по итогу вообще не повлияла на нож, я все так же то с двух ударов выносил челиков, то с 6и) Оружие кроме магазина и дэмэджа в других ветках тоже проку нету качать. 2 Очень бесило много валяющихся *якобы мертвых* челиков, которых нельзя было раздавить или просто воткнуть нож в голову пока он не встал, нож вообще бесполезная тема, как я ранее сказал даже когда он был прокачен, он был никакой. 3. Затянутая концовка. Под конец я как-то сильно уже устал от игры, она казалось очень затянутой, + пиздец заебало бегать чуть ли не 5 глав без патронов и гениально было токо в одну главу вставлять 3 чела на которых literaly все патроны всаживал, да их конечно можно было и не убивать, но блин, они лутатся не давали никак, 2 чела так вообще нужны были чтобы скрафтить огнемет, который по итогу оказался залупой если честно.
    Теперь про плюсы.
    1. КастелАнус получился крутым персом, харизматичным , но кстати временами туповатым) 2.Атмосфера. Страшная, с красивыми видами, с мрачными и нагнетающими саундтреками, граммотно подобранные , не типичные скримеры, игра со стороны как хорор отличная и примерная. 3. Боссы и мобы крутые и необычные. 4. музыка найс. 5. Гриндилка не знаю почему но мне понравилась, я оббежал всю карту везде, даже на удивление понравилось заново лутать город второй раз. 6 Интересные резонансы через которые легко вникаешь в сюжет , + документы которые не лень читать. 7. Интересный сюжет, хоть местами и предсказуемый. 8. Интересно сделаны лутбоксики, медсестра, мини игры.

    Phenomenal game, one of the best horror games I have played, even one of the best games in general I have played. Such a huge improvement over the first game.

Very creepy and well done horror elements.

    The only con for me is the controls felt slightly clunky and could have been more polished, free aiming is a nightmare and I had to really mostly on auto aim, The aim sensitivity did not feel good even when you tried to fine tune it. Other then that this is a must for fans of the genre. Honestly skip the first game, this one is far superior and will catch you up on the story.    … Expand

    O primeiro é muito bom.
    Esse ta dublado em pt-br, tem graficos bons.
    No inicio é bem legal, ate me lembrou o primeiro SIlent Hill, mas na metade do jogo o negocio fica meio estranho, parece que tem mais cutscenes do que gameplay.
    E a historia me parece ser menos interessante do que a do primeiro.

    This Series deserves a third title. The Evil Within 2 learns from its mistakes from the first title and delivers a scary masterpiece with versatile game play mechanics.
    Improvements can be made most of all in the area of dialogue and voice acting, but for its genre the Evil Within 2 delivers in all areas on a very high level.

    Compared to the first part, this is no longer a horror that can make the heart beat slower when approaching the next corner of the corridor. The second part is half action & half horror. I cannot say that it is worse, just differently. I also liked this game too. it more reveals the world of the game and the motives of its characters.

    The story of the game is very interesting. It might feel like there are too many sudden plot twists for a simple horror, but I liked it too, because it seemed to me that the antagonist who appeared at the beginning of the game began to tire me a lot(I hate such characters), and this would mean that the game would end very quickly. In addition, further narration made the game sparkle with new colors. The end of the game was especially interesting. A little far-fetched with pathos and special effects, but still very interesting. Therefore, it was offensive to write about the shortcomings of the game because of which I did not give it the maximum rating: Non-removable arrows. A single silencer that we receive only in 2/3 of the game. Too many words like "what the f**k" for someone, who knows already about dreams(Such a surprise shouts from such a pro who has been familiar with the system for a long time sounds too silly). The flashlight is constantly switched on in the first zone and some places further. Looting is slow(to take an item you need to wait seconds!). Two enemies sit near and if you kill silently one of them it does not interfere with the other one(silent killing involves loud sounds of fighting and knife strikes, by the way). Too stupid theatrical deaths(I hate this in films and I'm not going to forgive that to the games, it takes much more time, energy and attention here). And the last one. Slides that you watch in your office, they are good, but the dialog during watching... It seemed to me very funny that he spoke on the radio not about what was on the slides, but about what he associated with these slides. It's just that some of them depicted something that would be interesting to know, but he starts to talk about something completely uninteresting, like a conversation between two drunks in a bar. Perhaps it's only a niggle, but like that.    … Expand

    Great survival horror with a fair amount of action.

    During my first hour of gameplay, I was really questioning what direction the game was going. The was a main world hub, side missions, and a lot of open space. It felt like I was playing a Far Cry game. But as the game progressed, there were more survival horror parts, and I immediately had a sigh of relief.

It felt like I was playing a Far Cry game. But as the game progressed, there were more survival horror parts, and I immediately had a sigh of relief.

    There's definitely a lot more action in The Evil Within 2, compared to its predecessor...BUT all the action is mixed in very well. There were some problems with the cover and stealth system in the first game. Luckily, it's all fixed up in this game. The cover system works similar to Assassin's Creed. You can hide behind cover and sneak kill enemies. You can walk along cover, and swap cover. It works well. The enemy AI is also fixed. In the old game, the enemy would notice you despite the fact that you were crouched and behind cover. This time around, the enemies had more predictable movement, and it was easier to make stealth kills.

    Consequently, this also made the game much easier than the first. On top of that, Sebastian comes across more ammunition, has more stamina, more health packs, and is able to craft ammo and upgrade weapons virtually after every mission.

    I am impartial about the changes. Despite the game behind less focused on the scares, the action, and the pace of the game is done very well. It's scary enough to still stand strong as a survival horror game. The bosses are still awesome, and there are a variety of enemies just like the first game. Though I do miss the amount of hallucinations and unexpected trip out scenes that Sebastian has.

    The story in The Evil Within 2 is really, really good. The way it unravels is great. The cutscenes and dialogues that tell the story is fantastic. There are some emotional moments, which touch on family ties, which were done very well. I just wish they talked about some characters from the previous game. I though Joseph Oda had survived, and what every happened to Leslie Whithers?    … Expand

    I found this to be a great surprise. It was scary enough and difficult enough that you cannot just steam roll your way through mobs. I never played the first one but was impressed by how I could still engage with this game throughout.
    Not much replay value after I completed it but I did thoroughly enjoy the first play through.

    Я прошел «The Evil Within 2» и это было классно. Я давно не получал такого удовольствия, хоть и не сверх яркого. Даже как-то жаль, что продолжительное время оставлял игру на потом и только сейчас умудрился её вытащить из бэклога.

    Весьма трогательная и красивая история с приятным дизайном говорящих персонажей. Но не скажу, что именно сюжет оказался для меня главным блюдом. Хотя вот    Я прошел «The Evil Within 2» и это было классно. Я давно не получал такого удовольствия, хоть и не сверх яркого. Даже как-то жаль, что продолжительное время оставлял игру на потом и только сейчас умудрился её вытащить из бэклога.

    Весьма трогательная и красивая история с приятным дизайном говорящих персонажей. Но не скажу, что именно сюжет оказался для меня главным блюдом. Хотя вот постановка многих моментов тут просто потрясающая. Например, погружение в прошлое или путешествие между терминала сети. Но по большей мере Я остался доволен именно игровым процессом. Прогулки на корточках по кустам в здешних полуоткрытых локациях провинциального городка в поисках припасов и забав на свою пятую точку, с уклоном на незаметное и экономное устранение не особо запоминающихся и однообразных противников оставило самые приятные впечатления. А ещё кофе и холодная, но очаровательная Татьяна в сейфхаусах. Именно на эти сегменты у меня и пришлась большая часть веселья. К сожалению, каждый раз, когда игра прерывала подобные моменты и вынуждала прибегать к открытому бою оставались довольно неприятные впечатления. Хотя в целом боёвка тут соответствующая жанру и более-менее удобоваримая. Управление отзывчивое и приятное. Но мне не хватало возможности переназначить кнопки на геймпаде, хоть и имеющие раскладки вполне удобные и понятные.

    Остался дико не удовлетворен здешним дизайном врагов и некоторых локаций. Да и анимации в игре периодически сходили с ума и ломались, что оставляло не лучшие впечатления. Хотя большая часть окружения и редизайн действующих лиц оставили меня довольным, особенно Кидман. В целом, игру Я так и характеризую – вполне уютной, с парой провисающих аспектов. Ну и печалит, что некоторые весьма конкретные намеки так и не получили продолжение в виде DLC или стенд-алона. Но, видимо, “успешные” продажи внесли свою коррективу. А пока есть соблазн пройти её на «New Game+» и сложности «Nightmare», да выбить часть оставшихся ачивок.    … Expand

    Fans of Silent Hill and Resident Evil should definitely try The Evil Within 2. Even with all its annoying flaws, the sequel is better than the original game. Slowly but surely, Tango Gameworks is working its way towards a perfect formula for a modern horror game.

    This time devs cleaned up their act. The Evil Within 2 fights with immortals in a richer, better-designed and well-crafted action. It is not just a thoughtless brutality, as it may seem. Good ideas are rewarded by a pleasantly long game time.
