    The Evil Within 2 is less creepy, but more refined. It's not quite as good as the first, but very entertaining. Like the original, the game borrows a page or two from The Last of Us. Visually, the game is an improvement with moody lighting and a solid framerate. The environments, however, are quite bland due to the story.

Like the original, the game borrows a page or two from The Last of Us. Visually, the game is an improvement with moody lighting and a solid framerate. The environments, however, are quite bland due to the story. While The Evil Within took place in a nightmare dreamscape, this is set in an ordinary town. Of course, the town only exists in a hyper real VR simulation.

    The story involves the protagonist's daughter and a serial killer who are both inside the VR world. It's known as STEM and it bears a resemblance to the Animus from "Assassin's Creed". The plot is a bit overstuffed, but also less convoluted than the story from "The Evil Within". One of the biggest additions to EW 2 is the open-world environments. At certain points, you can use a scanner to discover numerous side-missions which are all worth pursuing. Unfortunately, the tone of the game is all over the place with some goofy line readings that conflict with the serious nature established at the beginning. Gameplay-wise, the weapons and upgrade system of the original return with a few nifty upgrades.

    Overall, this follow-up is a good one with refined gameplay and a much improved presentation. It may not be as creepy as the first, but it's just as lengthy and even less frustrating (booby traps, clunky controls and tough difficulty are a thing of the past). While there are superior horror titles, "The Evil Within 2" should please fans of action-based scary games. I'd give it an 8.2 out of 10.    … Expand

    Initially, it's a bit hard to figure out what kind game Evil Within 2 is until. Once it clicks though I really enjoyed the experience. The open world sections are still a bit of a mixed bag. The enemy encounters can be a little frustrating and clunky at times, but all that can be forgiven for some the excellent sequences and atmosphere that happen outside of the open world sections.

    It feels like the open world sections and enemy encounters really are all about resource collection for upgrading your stats/weapons. This ends up being a fun risk/reward loop throughout the game even if the actual combat with some of these enemies is a bit dodgy.

    All that being said, The Evil Within 2 ends up being a great game once you get into the rhythm and pacing of how it expects to be played. Long sequences of open world exploration and resource collection combined with tight horror sequences that are really impressively designed and executed. The story is even good. It feels like there's quite a bit of Silent Hill 2 influence on the Evil Within in that a lot of the horror is psychological horror. There's a lot of surreal gotchas that remind me of some of the great moments in Silent Hill 2. The game that really did it right by making Silent Hill more of a mental space than a physical town with a cult and all that business. The Evil Within 2 grabs a hold of this idea of psychological horror and really makes good use of it. One of the few examples I can think of doing so since I first started thinking it after SH2. That alone is well worth the price of entry. I hope there's future games coming for this franchise.    … Expand

    The game plays much like The Last of Us, with an over the shoulder camera similar to Resident Evil 4. A handgun and glass bottles are your staples. Like the former, Evil Within 2 is reasonably linear, with semi open world game play that offers the occasional side mission and doesn't rely on backtracking too much. I was only stuck briefly a couple of times on what to do and the game guides you without being overbearing.

    As with many horror titles the story isn't the strongest but one can easily look past it and have a good time. There is plenty of back story for characters should you want to look into it.
    I found the steady incremental changes in weapons and enemies was enough to keep me interested, and the variety - from stealth action, to shooter, to Layers of Fear-esque sequences was engaging if perhaps predictable at times.
    The bosses in particular are memorable.
    Graphically it's not the pinnacle of the genre, but it certainly has some great looking environments. The Inception-like collapsing worlds and one particular enemy who has a flair for bloody art are a highlight in that space. Use of the environment like explosive barrels and vehicles, to electrocuting puddles for damage was a nice addition.
    It's perhaps worth noting too that there are accessibility options on offer. It's not quite on the level of The Last of Us Part 2, but if you are wanting to make the game easier to control then there might be something here for you (one shot kills, auto aim, invincibility).

    Also you have a pet cat.

    Don't expect a AAA title but if you can looks past a lack of polish and just have fun then you may well find this worth a few dollars. I will be looking out for a sequel.    … Expand

    Tem economizar bala nos momentos importantes, recomendo gastar habilidades primeiro na estamina que vai ajudar sempre correr e pensar novamente como atacar. Os gráficos eu gostei nada a reclamar, uma coisa que me incomodou é a movimentação do personagem andando normal é muito lento e também de virar a câmera não é fluida como no residente evil. Em resumo se gosta do gênero terror vai fundo e jogue sem pressa para aproveitar tudo que jogo tem a oferecer.

    Ive played EW2 on and off for years and I always go back and forth on how I feel about it. I think on of its best features is also its bigest problem. EW2 is a very origional and individual game, if you compare it to its prequel or other survival horror game , you could say it falls short.. But once you realuse its a horror stealth game and its probally the only one of its kind, you start to see the smart design behind this game.
    Initially I didnt like EW2 because it was to different from the first game, but once you apraich every situation from a sneak and kill approach, thing get satisfying..
    If I had known this generation was going to be so bad for horror games and all we would get is walking simulator puzzle games, I would have experianced E×2 in a entirly different way. Its crazy that a game I found highly dissapointing at the start of the generation is one of the best at the end..

    Вот вышла вторая часть и я не испытывал особого интузиазма. Но разработчики учли все замечания первой части.
    Геймплей был полностью переработан. Если смотреть прохождение на каком нибудь YouTube, может сложиться впечатление, что ничего не изменилось, но это не так. Evil Within 2 стала играться намного удобнее, камера стала послушней. Стрелять из оружия стало в разы приятнее. Но самое главное на мой взгляд, в игре появился хороший стелс. Да он был и в оригинале, но пользоваться им было сущее мучение.
    Прокачка вроде тоже не изменилась, однако она стала более интуитивной, что ли.
    Появились новые враги, боссы.
    Картинка, на мой взгляд, не сильно поменялась, но это игру ни как не портит.
    Ещё большой плюс, сделали полное дублирование на русском языке.
    Сюжет стал понятнее. С одной стороны это хорошо, а с другой как то поуменьшилось той ужасной атмосферы первой части. Игра стала больше шутером чем хорором.
    Что касается самой игровой атмосферы она тут очень затягивающая. Но желательно пройти оригинал, что бы погрузиться в эту атмосферу на все 100%.
    Вообще в The Evil Within 2 очень приятно играть, наверное как в RE 2 Remake по сравнению с RE 2 1998.

    Have to say I liked the first one more. Usually that's not the case in video games. Unlike movies, the sequel is usually better. This one somehow felt even more like a rip off of Resident Evil 4.

    Story wise you're a law enforcement agent that's sent to a mysterious, creepy, zombie filled world to rescue a girl. That's the exact premise of RE4. They're not even pretending it's anything different this time around.

    The first one was scarier and more memorable with better creature designs. The final boss in The Evil Within 2 is one my least favorite video game clichés of all time. The giant, immobile boss that's fixed to the background. God it feels like every single game has that. The fact that you know from the get go that you're in some sort of matrix like machine takes away much of the horror and intrigue from the first. Then the top dog of Mobius is an agent Smith rip off and he has a bunch of agent goons.

    But besides being so damn derivative of RE4 and The Matrix at least it's really well polished, plays well, and is a bunch of fun. It looks great too. An obvious upgrade over the first which I played on ps3. Terrific art design and well acted voice work even though they replaced the actor for the main character.    … Expand

    'The Evil Within 2' es mi juego favorito del género de los últimos años.

    Toma la fórmula propuesta por Shinji Mikami en Resident Evil 4 y el primer The Evil Within y le espolvorea con las novedades que ha entregado el género en los últimos años, dando como resultado un survival horror que se siente realmente como un paso adelante.

    Pequeñas áreas abiertas que invitan a la exploración con múltiples secretos y actividades secundarias, intercaladas con secciones lineales que conectan a la siguiente sección abierta. Crean un ritmo delicioso que no cansa y te mantiene entretenido durante las casi 20 horas.

    La trama del juego es interesante y aunque Sebastian Castellanos -el protagonista, es muy genérico, argumentalmente tiene suficiente originalidad para que el título salga a flote.

    La variedad de enemigos es la correcta y los jefes cumplen, en especial el enfrentamiento final.

    Aunque ninguno de sus sistemas destaque mucho por separado, es cómo el título los utiliza en conjunto que resulta satisfactorio. Un poco de administración de recursos, de mejora de armas, de sigilo, de creación de artilugios. Hay suficiente aquí.

    Gran variedad de armas y habilidades, dificultades desbloqueables y algunos extras, entregan un paquete precioso dentro del survival horror.

    Si eres fan de los juegos del género, pero le tiras más a títulos tipos RE 4, esto es para ti.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great Survival horror. Evil within 2 is a solid one. You can't rush it, u must be patient and u must think. You always find yourself barley surviving. I miss fire a lot, I just don't want those creepy idiots to get near me. lol I like the upgrade system where u have to earn it, I like the story, I like the open world. Before I bought the game I read reviews about its an open world survival horror and I was like how is that going to make sense, but I said ok, let me see. The truth is its not a typical open world just partial and I love it just like that.

    I played the first one, it was good and I enjoyed it, it was more creepy though, but hey this is also creepy and u can play it in FPS or THIRD after u update it. The best moments was towards the end. It was so emotional that I felt so sorry for Sebastian.

    Its a great game. If you like resident evil or horror games, u should play this. Don't play easy, play it on normal at least, and don't enable auto aim. Its better than Resident evil 7.    … Expand

    It is very fun and very interesting survival horror game! It has a semi-open world design with side quests that provides you some additional upgrades of your character (new abilities, new weapons, weapon upgrades). The game is scary and challenging at higher difficulties.

    While The Evil Within 2 isn’t particularly scary, nor does it reinvent the survival-horror genre, it certainly is a strong product of the genre with what it does; the survival aspect of horror in the gameplay is done extremely well.

But it should be noted that the feeling the game gives out is that it tries to be a survival-horror game more than it does a horror game, which is not the same thing. I must say that the opening for this game is one of the best and most memorable openings for a game I have played. It is well-paced and subtle that helps portray the hell that you the player are now in, The Evil Within 2 does follow cliches “within” its scares and plot points. But as a rebuttal, the product should not be judged by how cliche it is, but rather how well it can accomplish. And in this case, The Evil Within 2 again does it greatly in a manner very stylized and memorable. To the extent that it can be etched into your psyche. As far as the story goes, The Evil Within 2 sets out to develop and explore the character that is Sebastian Castellanos. Sebastian is no longer the blank-slate detective that he was in the first game. He is now the sincerely likable, yet tough character that the first game tried to portray. He is put into a situation that is deeply personal to his character, his arc, and the extension of Sebastian's backstory given in the first game that left you in the cold. In fact, every character in The Evil Within 2 is not a blank slate. Each character is their own character that never feels like a copy and paste. Every character is expanded through the storyline and optional conversations, as well as optional notes, found in-game. And each character plays a role in Sebastian's arc, whether they are ancillary characters or characters that test Sebastian's will. The story of The Evil Within 2 is greatly paced and is a very stylized, symbolic, and emotionally written rollercoaster. The soundtrack for the game is a bit mixed. The game's theme of the cover of Duran Duran's "Ordinary World' by The Hit House is the song that does a great job summing up the premise of the game. And the somber score that comes throughout the game is one to remember. Not to forget about Serenade for Strings, which is already a great score. But other than that, the soundtrack is just generic beats that best fit a sneaky atmosphere, a devilish ensemble, and an out of place track that plays during a boss-rush. There is not really any theme for the significant unrelenting creatures in the game, which is a shame. The gameplay of The Evil Within 2 is very much the same as how it was in the first game but improved upon. It is much smoother and easier to perform your sneak attacks and headshots. And the greatest improvement is that the stamina is no longer sad. The upgrading mechanics in the game is done well. Each upgrade is one step closer to making Sebastian an unstoppable force, so to speak. Being able to pull off new skills that enhance your survival attributes and making Sebastian much better at taking down his enemies. The crafting system is simple, as it should be. And it never feels like it gets in the way of survival or takes away from the experience by feeling cheap. The location that Sebastian must go through in the game is called Union. The Evil Within 2 follows a structure that resembles a mix of Silent Hill's explorable town and The Evil Within's linear chapter structure. You start off in the open-world Union. But once you make it to your destination, you often go to a linear level type structure. What can you find in the open-world Union? You find more weapons that will help you on your journey. You will only ever be handed two, and a third is required to find in order to continue the story. In Union, you'll also find world-building notes and resonances, collectibles such as keys and mysterious items, and an additional character arc and enemy for Sebastian. Union never feels like it gets old, but it will feel a bit unfinished the further you go into new areas of Union. The engine that this game is built upon, the STEM engine is truly magnificent. I would have to say The Evil Within 2 is a beautiful looking game. A real piece of art. Vibrant colors and clean models. Personally, I think this is one of the best looking games I have ever laid my eyes on. Depending on what platform you are on or how powerful it is, the game maintains a stable frame-rate with occasional drops. But the game suffers from a few glitches. Nothing that will break the game or the experience. But are small, common glitches. The Evil Within 2 is a huge step up from its predecessor and should be considered a great game for Tango Gameworks' second game. This game was handicapped by the first game and its reception with its players. This game is criminally underrated and deserves more love. And after this game, Tango Gameworks deserves more attention.… Expand

If you decide to take the fight, then what would it be? You can silently kill enemies with a knife or in the best Hollywood traditions to get firearms and start shooting groups of monsters. The level design is conducive to tactical operations. For example, you can lure enemies into a puddle of gasoline, and then set it on fire.

    I can only single out two minuses. Let's start with the fact that people play horror games for the sake of sensations. You feel helpless, afraid of every rustle, the constant lack of ammunition. Forget. Not here. Sebastian doesn't look like an alcoholic detective, he looks like a real Rambo. And the second minus. What happened to Joseph? You plainly said he was alive.

    Shinji Mikami’s philosophy is to focus on making the game’s good aspects shine even brighter instead of trying to eradicate its flaws. His latest work both benefits and suffers from that approach. The Evil Within 2 offers great exploration, but its story is laughable. It’s a thrilling shooter, but a mediocre stealth game. At the end of the day I find Mikami to be right – a game’s best moments count the most and make us turn a blind eye to its flaws. TEW2 fails to reach the level of my beloved Resident Evil 4, but in today’s circumstances a triple AAA survival horror without online components and intrusive microtransactions is a gem.

    A likeable follow-up that addresses valid criticisms of its predecessor and provides gory fun, but loses a little of what made it special in the process. [Christmas 2017, p.90]

    Exploring the game's main town, which is full of monsters, new weapons and items, is a blast. New discoveries will immerse you into the gameplay, and make you forget about that daughter you have to save.
