    ATTENTION ALL THOSE WHO LOVED THE FIRST GAME AND WHO ARE HATING ON THIS!!

    Actually play the game to completion before you hate on it! It isn't all running around the open world, that's just the opening chapters. The game becomes more linear later on and there is a particular boss fight that is heavily tied in with the first game that I guarantee you will appreciate.

    Great game. I did not played the first one, just watched some trailers and a longplay.

Casual and survival levels are way too easy if you are experienced with survival horror and shooting games. The game is a little better in the first chapters when you only have few skills opened in skill tree, later it becomes more "Sebastians ownage" with many perks and weapons. Very cool graphics, excellent music, good length (took 27 hours with nightmare) . Only minus comes from the bosses, some of them are too easy and predictable. But on the opposite side some of them are pretty hard before you find out right tactics. Open world is cool with freedom to choose your way. In the later chapters game gets more linear. Great ending also, I don't want to spoil any details about it.… Expand

    Tense, atmospheric survival horror with a great story. A good mixture of games like Dead Space, Silent Hill 2 and The Last of Us. Relatively good crafting and upgrading system, similar to the first game but a little more fleshed out. Lots of sneaking around and saving vital resources and lots of incredibly well made psychological horror sections. Chapter 5 was a personal favourite of mine. In general, the gun combat feels weighty and satisfying, and the scares are memorable.

    Without spoiling anything - I was surprised by how well fleshed out the story was by the end of the game. When the credits rolled after my 20 hours with the game, I felt a sense of accomplishment and closure. I will be playing this a second time in New Game Plus to max out my skills and weapon upgrades and hopefully find some more Key items.

    If you enjoy horror, I'm sure you will love this game. Great soundtrack and sound design, chilling environments and cool enemy designs. We haven't had a good third-person horror game on the PS4 in a long time, and this is one is not to be missed.

    Oh, and don't bother with melee combat (with the exception of stealth kills), it's pretty useless. This game is more about resource management and using your weapons wisely. People complaining about melee are missing the point - It's purposefully not a melee focused game. In my opinion, this makes the game more tense and gives ammo management a sense of importance.

    visuals are pretty good, with some really great areas and lighting effects. For the most part, faces look good, but facial animation is weak in some parts. Mostly though, good animation. No real complaints here, it's a good looking game most of the time.

    Overall, fantastic. One of my favourite games of the year. Great job and a worthy purchase!    … Expand

Bout the only problem I had with the game was the collision detection and sometimes you'd go for a melee hit and see your character swing through them but nothing registered. It happened frequently enough to where it really caused me some problems and a few deaths because I couldn't open or a door running away from enemies. In the end though, second time is a charm for Shinji Mikami and his new crew. With the obvious reference to DLC coming, I can only hope that he can continue the success here and make a new unforgettable horror series going forwards.… Expand

It was also my first proper go at survival horror as a genre. Short answer - I really, REALLY, enjoyed it....until I gave up. I played up to Chapter 9 on survival mode and found it a steep learning curve and pretty challenging at times but just about manageable by really taking my time and being very stealthy. And I had a blast - loved it! Then I'm very sad to say I hit a wall with several back to back sections that were totally in your face, nowhere to go, stealth not an option, and I just didn't have the ammo or the skill to power through. After dying over....and over....and over.......oh, and over....again I got too frustrated and quit. I did try and lower the difficulty to casual rather than quit but it didn't seem to make a noticeable difference. As a review this may not be very relevant to most reading this but I wanted to present my experience as an inexperienced gamer who is new to the genre. I thought visually it was good, enjoyed the game play though for some reason I found the controls seriously slow and mushy in close up encounters (may be my settings?) , the story was good enough to pull me forward and all in all I think it's a very good game.

    La única pega que le pongo es que esperaba algo de Ruvik. No hay un villano como tal salvo Mobius y el rollo empresa conspiratoria está ya muy visto, la verdad (Abstergo, Umbrella). El resto del videojuego es una pasada, aunque me esperaba algo más sorprendente. Se ha causalizado, lo cual no quiere decir que sea un problema. Al menos los fps son estables, no como su antecesor

    The Evil Within 2 é a continuação do survival horror amado por uns e odiado por outros, The Evil Within. Dessa vez, Mikami passa o posto de diretor para John Johanas - diretor das DLC The Assignment e The Consequence.

Dessa vez, Mikami passa o posto de diretor para John Johanas - diretor das DLC The Assignment e The Consequence.

    A sensação de rever o jogo após longos 2 anos de espera é gratificante. É como um começo de namoro: tudo muito lindo e perfeito. Quando você se depara com a cidade de Union, se maravilha com o tamanho do mundo semi-aberto e as possibilidades de exploração que aquele mundo proporciona.

    Em termos de narrativa, a história melhorou muito em relação ao seu antecessor. Temos aqui um Sebastian bem mais "falante" e que, agora, tem um motivo verdadeiramente importante para estar novamente no Stem: Sua filha, Lily Castellanos, que Sebastian pensava estar morta. Há uma chance de salva-lá e só Sebastian é capaz. Por isso, Juli Kidman é encarregada de encontrar Sebastian e convence-lo a entrar no Stem de novo. A trilha sonora ajuda a criar uma atmosfera ainda mais sentimental para o jogo. É outro ponto que se sobressai em comparação com o primeiro. E antes que eu me esqueça, Clair de Lune continua no jogo! E já que toquei nesse ponto, as salas de descanso são diferentes dessa vez. Agora temos um local intutulado de refugio, onde podemos melhorar nossas armas, conversar com soldados que encontramos durante o jogo, ou até mesmo tomar um café para recuperar as energias. O local de upgrade de Sebastian é da mesma forma que o primeiro jogo, com a Tatiana, a cadeira, os armários e etc. Nesse local, há também um mini game ao estilo de Resident Evil 4 para treinar suas habilidades de tiro.

    A jogabilidade foi melhorada também. Dessa vez você pode correr e, mesmo gastando toda a estamina, o personagem continuará correndo, mas em menor velocidade. Controlar o Sebastian é bem agradável. Ele caminha e se cansa de maneira natural e condizente com a sua idade. Não temos um cara super dotado de habilidades ninjas, pelo contrário.

    Os gráficos também tiveram um salto significativo. Não é o jogo com o melhor gráfico da geração, mas é bonito e entrega um resultado mais do que satisfatório.

    Existem dois vilões no jogo. Um é um psicopata e sádico que se considera um artista incompreendido pelo mundo. O outro vilão se considera um padre e, resumidamente, tem como objetivo controlar a humanidade - um pouco clichê.

    As criaturas são bem feitas no geral. E há uma boa variedade de inimigos comuns. Os bosses e semi bosses são outro destaque do jogo pois, apesar de serem poucos, são bem assustadores. Em especial um boss opcional que é uma mulher fantasma que te persegue em determinados momentos do jogo. Um descuido com ela e é hit kill!

    Uma das coisas que eu senti falta foi os fósforos. Colocar fogo nos inimigos e vê-los virando cinza era algo bem divertido no primeiro.

    Do mais, é um bom jogo de survival horror que mistura elementos de ação e terror e cria um jogo com um terror que cumpre o seu papel, mas que ao mesmo tempo se preocupa em apresentar uma mecânica divertida sem deixar o gameplay travado.    … Expand

    The open world system actually makes the game better, allowing the player more options to engaging their enemies. I didn't think a survival horror game like TEW would be able to sport a open world and boy was I wrong.

    The game as a whole felt like a real and justified sequel, with drastic improvements on the previous title.

    That being said this game does have some negatives that are easy to look over. The Bosses in this game are not as creative as the first. The character dialogue animations are honestly like PS2 era. Some upgrades are way more useful than others (with some not being that great at all). The game crashed once on me, like a typical Bethesda game usually does.

    That beings said I walked out after playing this game blown away. The game adds more elements on top of the original, and truly makes you feel like it is a well deserved sequel and not just a cash grab. For fans of Survival-Horror genre, like Resident Evil and Silent Hill series, this game is a MUST play. I would recommend playing TEW1 however, although the story of 2 can be understood pretty easily without 1, there is a lot of subtle Easter eggs/ acknowledgements to the original    … Expand

So much exploration and hidden secrets to find, goodies to earn, THAT was a great idea for a sequel, if they make a third one, they need to keep the open world exploration function, but keep it guessing for players, as in to make all the nooks and crannies unpredictable surprises. I also love that you carry more bottles and it has multi functions and upgrades to use them, like smashing them in enemies faces to break free of their grip, and save your health in the process. I have to say this is a worthy sequel and its fantastic from beginning to end. I hope there is future DLC that improve the story more, I also like the FPS mode for those who enjoy seeing the monsters up close and personal. The only thing missing is those invisible enemies, I have to say they would have been more creative in this game and chances to scare the players one more time.… Expand

There’s a lot of innovation here based on proven mechanics. The game retains much of the presentation and core components of the original but has been completely upended in terms of overall gameplay.

    After spending a few frustrating hours getting accustomed with how to properly interact with the game world, I quickly began to see the brilliance of the game design and am elated I stuck with it. I’m a massive fan of the original and it holds a special spot on my games shelf. Given the meager sales and lukewarm reception, I was surprised and thrilled to see a sequel was being developed. Then I read a different director was tied to the project and the sequel would be an “open-world” game, and my excitement turned to disappointment and anger.

    While I sincerely miss the abstract psychological horror, widescreen presentation and linear progression of the first game (which I regard as artistic genius), this sequel stand on its own well-earned merits. The story and voice acting have sadly devolved into janky B-movie territory and fundamentally the gameplay mechanics are a collection of the usual en-vogue suspects. But The Evil With 2 Is elevated far beyond the sum of its parts due to the mastery and talent of the development team who nearly perfected, and innovated on, the integration of each component; all of which have deftly been grafted on top of a worthy survival horror foundation.

    New players and franchise veterans alike will find something immensely enjoyable here. Nothing will compare to or top the original art-house game, but this unique experience stands on its own. Now updated (new patch this week) with higher resolution visuals (pseudo UHD) and an amazingly stable unlocked frame rate on the PS4 Pro, this is an experience not to be missed by any action-adventure fan.    … Expand

Yep, the vibe is very similar, while it maintains the basic gameplay structure of the first Evil Within and Resident Evil 4. However, different from the previous game, this sequel features not just chasing and action sequences, but also slow pacing moments with plenty of room for exploration searching for weapons, ammo, gears and other stuff and even some few side quests, while you're in the central town. However, even enjoying this semi open world portion of the game, i think the game is better during the more linear and tense parts. Also, it's a pity that the best villain in the game, Stefano Vallentini, don't get the highlight he deserves, his chasing sequences are the best part of the game.

This game is still a survival horror, even more survival. Survival now became more developed thanks to the Kraft and, of course, appeared in open locations. It's not open world, but explore that. In an open world we can find the various items for crafting, to carry out the plot and additional missions. The extra missions are very interesting and related to by Sebastian. Additional tasks third party to tell us stories in this world. In the first part of the Chapter commercials from 2 to 9 we aimlessly killing monsters and tried to survive. It was not easy and hardcore, but often a story or at least some clear goal was not simple. Here we always understand why we do something. Even when the plot is not particularly develops, we learn some other history.

    Open world is a controversial decision, but it is justified by the plot. In the first part we traveled through the ruined mind of a psycho. Here, in the minds built the city, and the developers wanted this part of the story was the gameplay. We have several parts of the city, but the plot is still developing in corridor spaces. Linear locations are made more fiction. Now they consist not only of blood and guts. This is a separate surreal, psychedelic locations. The head is sometimes very transient and sometimes perceived simply as a new paragraph, so to speak. In the first game of the head was really something separate. But storytelling has grown and the main story runs through the whole game, a special sagging is not seen. Of course, in the middle of it, as usual, not much, but you did not notice, because you always have a goal and understanding what is happening.

    The monsters are all the same threat as in the first part, but they looked more vile and disgusting. Even ordinary opponents with their barbed wire over the body and nailed to the skull. In the sequel, even bosses are not as challenging. In the first part often can not be just to kill the boss with them was a special gameplay. Here are they without special problems elementary shot. Remember the huge twins, big dog? Now, this is not here. Here or bosses or normal enemies (normal enemies, there are several types and some are extremely dangerous). Also removed the mechanics from the burning of ordinary opponents, because even before the common infected just so the knife could not be seperate, now this is no problem (but I understand that this mechanic was removed from the STEM of another world). Due to the open world, the game became easier. Enemies are still strong. But because of the vast spaces you can easily get around them, or even to escape to the sanctuary, you will chase the crowd. The first part was not enough traps, in which could get the player, or to do otherwise - to lure them into the enemy, but in the sequel traps almost there. Also open world drops to the pacing and tempo of scaring the player. In the linear stages of the game can still challenge and some where to scare. This is not a stupid third-person shooter. Here you need to survive, to save health packs and bullets.

    The Evil Within 2 took into account the mistakes of its predecessor, and became great Thriller-adventure, this survival in a hostile world. The game has expanded, deepened gameplay, linear locations have become more inventive, the game has acquired a clear and intriguing storyline. For me it will likely be game of the year. Especially because of the ending. Very beautiful final point. Of course, there are small hooks to continue, but without him it will be a great film series about detective Sebastian Castellanos.    … Expand

Like with the first game this is obviously a horror survival game meaning you can't just run into a horse of enemies and take them on with a bottle and pistol whip them as that will pretty much be game over and a second thought and planning on what you need to do. Some gamers aren't a fan of that and so if you're not a fan of that type of gaming aspect then sadly this game isn't for you but with some of its new upgrade features I'd say give it a try as you might like it more then you think as now with the mentioned features you can not only upgrade your characters abilities like more health/damage/stamina but now can upgrade weapons to be more powerful and effective as well as a few other kinks like smoke bombs and such.
    The enemies you'll encounter are imaginative and terrifying just like the first game and showing the creative minds the game developers had in making these creatures and you'll also run into a few megalomaniacs who have been warped by their ideals and perverse natures in the virtual world Sebastian and others find themselves trapped in. This game is a great release both with how entertaining it is but also with it being the month of Halloween it's a game you can play to keep you entertained and terrified this October 31st when the ghouls,ghosts and goblins walk our streets this Halloween night.    … Expand

    The critics were tough on this one... it's a big improvement mechanically, graphically... everything really. in my opinion it deserves an 8 out of 10 average, and with Cuphead aside, it is without question better than any exclusive game on XBOX ONE this entire year.

However, if you choose to play it on "survival" or more difficult, every encounter will feel tense and you really want to make every shot count. I liked both experiences equally. Overall very recommended. Mikami and his team still no how to do it!… Expand

    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..

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.

    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%.

    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.

    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

    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.
    Negatives: the game it has no replay value (unfortunately)

    Um game absolutamente maravilhoso e uma das melhores sequencias que você irá jogar. Geralmente as pessoas dizem que sequencias não conseguem superar o original, mas aqui eu acredito que, não apenas conseguiram superar, como criaram um game incrível e um survival horror de primeira linha. Os gráficos poderiam ser um pouco melhores, é verdade.

Dass das Spiel kein wirkliches AAA Budget hat trägt dabei gar zum Charme des Ganzen mit bei. Nur zum Ende hin übertreibts das Spiel ein wenig und rutscht doch ein wenig zu sehr in B Movie Trash ab. Dennoch ist The Evil Within für mich das ambitionierteste Franchise, wenn man kultigen Horror als Videospiel erleben möchte.… Expand

    The graphics and gameplay are awesome, the semi open world improved on the linearity of the first, the story is a bit wonky sometimes, but it doesn't detract from the plot and the atmosphere is nightmarishly beautiful. In conclusion: A very good survival horror game and a worthy sequel.

And exploring is important than just that. Finding a recording of a dead soldier got me caught up with a whole new monster in another dimension and having to find my way to escape with cutscenes in it. Made it feel like a story mission. Many of these are in the game. Never played the first game but maybe I will have after this.… Expand

    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

The enemies are varied and actually interesting to fight and look at. The designers did a great job there, along with other NPC's.

    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.

    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.
