Firstly, the graphics are absolutely gorgeous! A few critics had commented that the graphics had regressed in some way, but I have absolutely no idea what they're on about, the graphics are seriously great. As for the gameplay, it's bags of fun, it's like a combination of the first evil within with silent hill 2 and also the last of us (in terms of stealthing about a semi-open world scavenging for decent loot and either sneaking past enemies or taking them on) the atmosphere is very tense in a fun way, much like resident evil 7 in that sense, it's tense... but not that paralysing dread that you get from the first game, which isn't a bad thing in this game, it's just different (but still good). The atmosphere also loosens up just slightly when you explore around which is cool so you can look around without crapping your pants, but they do a good job of building up to the next inevitable big horror moment, and also jump scares will get you at irregular intervals, which are pretty well done. Really good game and looking forward to getting back on it later on. An absolute must play for horror fans.… Expand

    The Evil Within 2 - the sequel to psychedelic hell. The first part challenged the players, had a dark but attractive atmosphere, gameplay Resident Evil 4 (which is good), but sags in the plot. The game had a certain charm, she attracted, was forced to return to his dark world, because if hell is, it looks like the first The Evil Within.

The game had a certain charm, she attracted, was forced to return to his dark world, because if hell is, it looks like the first The Evil Within. The second part did John Johanas, which was responsible for the DLC for the first part, and keep an eye on him, Shinji Mikami. It is felt that the sequel was done by other people, but the game does not become worse.

    This time the plot is much simpler and clearer than in the first game, which went only benefit. After completing The Evil Within 2, you'll have no issues. Along with the story and changed the gameplay. Moreover, the linear stages is not particularly changed. There we were still locked in a small space, and we need to hide, or alternately kill monsters. 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

    This is a really impressive game. The atmosphere and characters are great. The story was entertaining and the gameplay was pretty much what you'd expect from a 3rd person survival horror game. It could have done with a few more side quests but that's really the only negative I can think of.

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.

    The first game was a goofy over the top romp through pools of blood, huge guys with chainsaws and a creepy spider chick that just won't effing die.

It was sloppy, it wasn't particularly scary outside of some jump scares but it was more about just wading waist deep in pools of gore and dead bodies.

    The second one is much tighter, cleaner and more focused on what it is, a spiritual successor to the old resident evil/silent hill type of survival horror games. The first game had the shifting world, since it was all a construct of the collective unconscious. This one so far makes use of that in MUCH better ways. Something will catch your eye, for example very early on there is a large painting of a door on the wall, the room is covered in ribbons and you walk up to the painting because the lights are on it, it is the center of focus in the room, you expect something to pop out at you from the painting but instead as soon as you get close enough, the world behind you changes and suddenly the exact same door that is in the painting appears right behind you. If you look around the side of the where the door is, there is nothing behind it but when you open the door and walk through it takes you somewhere totally different with a vivid slow motion artistic rendering of one of the mobius team members you're searching for being shot in the head. The scene repeats itself over and over, the man just keeps getting shot in the head, leaving a spray blood in the air and slowly falling backwards til suddenly it all repeats.

    My point is - the game will mess with you. Nothing is what it seems, the world around you constantly shifts, at least in these more scripted parts. The first game did this as well, but this iteration does it with MUCH more finesse. The photographer who is setting up these tableaux of people at the moment of death is creepy as hell, teleporting around appearing from nowhere making the world change around you. The monster that he sends to greet you is over the top insane made from cobbled together bodies and a circular saw. So the slasher movie aesthetic is definitely still there, but again it is MUCH more refined. Less just about raw gore and being grotesque for the sake of being grotesque.

    Once you get into the meat of the game it becomes a very solid survival horror game, complete with a variety of weapons, tactics, abilities. The meat of it is very solid. Underneath all the mindbending weirdness is a robust game. I enjoyed the first one for what it was but it never really achieved its full potential. The more open world approach is really fun, you get to pick from door A, B, C, D or E and whichever one you pick you know there will be something crazy going on inside and that it will likely end with you being swarmed by monsters.

    They've also done a MUCH better job with sebastian in this game. In the first, i didn't care about him as a protagonist at all. I didnt care about his wife or his daughter. The only hint you had that they even existed was some randomly scattered journals that you would find by mirrors that would give you a bit of boring backstory. They had a kid she died blah blah blah who cares.

    This game, instead of just being gruff and gravelly sebastian has much more personality, he interacts with other characters and even if its a bit cliche he is searching for his daughter who he thought was dead, you actually see and hear the daughter which makes her more real as a character. The plot itself isn't amazing but the world it takes place in definitely is.

    Is this a 10/10 game? No. But it is very good. It is worth the 60$ price tag if you like survival horror at all, This and resident evil biohazard will probably be the best survival horror games of the last 4 to 5 years (maybe alien isolation). Im giving it a 9, not that it really matters user scores are so subjective people find one flaw with a game and give it a 0, do not play, worst game ever or fanboys just blindly throw 10's willingly overlooking actual flaws.

    But honestly this is a very solid game, if you like the genre do buy it. You will not regret it. If you played the first one and weren't impressed, i was too. I enjoyed it but it was pretty meh overall. This game improves on pretty much every aspect of the first. Do yourself a favor and give Evil Within another shot. This one is worth playing.    … Expand

However, they are minor when you consider the entire body of work.

    First off, you can tell a lot of work went into this game. The environments alone should be enough to convince you of that. The upgrading system is good but I believe could've been a bit better. For instance, if I have upgraded a lot of my abilities and I am left with 2000 green gel, there's not much I can do with it. Perhaps it would've been better to add something to trade in your gel for items you can craft ammo with. I felt like way too often I was left with additional gel I just had to sit on until I got more to do something useful. The boss battles are challenging and took multiple tries on Survival difficulty. Many times I was dealing with very low ammo. The open world environment I felt was an amazing touch. I loved exploring all of the nooks and crannies. I wish there would've been more houses and buildings to explore though. I loved the flashback scenes to Beacon and watching Sebastian trying to relive those moments -- especially when it was unexpected when you're just exploring a random house. The story was above average but could've been developer better. For instance, we still don't know who Stefano really is and why he was in STEM in the first place. We don't really know what events led to Lily's disappearance either. I felt like Stefano and Father Theodore were good villains but I would've like to know more about them. I thought the guns were awesome. I would've liked to have more throwables like grenades, molotovs, etc. I felt the end scene where you play Kidman the game turns into an action game which made me sad. It's not a huge deal, but the game could've been much better without it. The only real criticism here is that there wasn't more of it. More story, more houses to explore, more weapons, more items.

    At any rate, I am looking for to The Evil Within 3.    … Expand

I also got a good grasp of the story even if I never played the first one's DLCs, it wraps up nicely and serves as a cool conclusion. Unluckily this game is going to be undoubtedly underrated, and it makes me a bit sad that many people are going to miss this.

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

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 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.

    One of the most perfect examples of modern survival horror, The Evil Within 2 is a game no horror fan should miss. With great pacing and a very satisfying upgrade system, it's the most fun I've had since Resident Evil 4. My only gripe would be that the game lacks some of the charm and atmosphere that the first Evil Within had.

I was actually scared and shocked at many parts, especially that freaky multi head monster. Now, I love the open world aspect. 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

    The Evil Within 2 is a much better game than the first one, the gameplay has been improved, it isn't as linear as the first game was. The story is a lot more personal to Sebastian in this game and as a result is a lot more interesting. The characters in this game are more realized and grounded than before. This game is a huge improvement over the first one. Definitely worth your money and time.

    Played in 2020 and it is still very good.
    It's not so mysterious as first part but still keeps player nervous through all walkthrough.
    Graphics is not so perfect as in RE3 Remake but still good. Story is a bit predictable but much more cinematic as in the first part.

    Of course there are some drawbacks but even they impacts on atmosphere.

    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 has a mix of small open world and linear gameplay but it transitions well and doesn't feel awkward. The game plays nice and there wasn't any major bugs or glitches that hinder the game so the game felt really polished. Part of the reason I'm giving it an 8 and not higher is because this game feels less scary than the first one mostly because of the open world. It's not that scary being chased by a monster when you got a big place to run around in. However the game does have it's moments of scares.

    One thing that I liked about The Evil Within 2 compared to the first one is the better story. The last one was good but you were confused throughout the whole game on what's going on and at the end you were left wondering what were the ties between the protagonist and the people inside STEM. In this one, the story ties everything together nicely. You find out why you were the one to be affected by the events and why you go back in and your ties to the other characters in the game like Kidman.

    The game was pretty lengthy. It took me about 20 hours of playing in regular mode and thoroughly searching the area for hidden objects to beat the game (and I didn't even find everything). There is new game plus after you beat it to keep playing with all your inventory from the previous save. I would recommend that if your a veteran of the series and horror games in general to play in harder difficulty as normal just felt easy.

    There is also stealth in the game. You can hide from enemies and even do stealth kills. This actually ended up being my main method of taken down the regular baddies since It conserves ammo. The stealth is done really well and you don't feel screwed were your attempting to sneak up on an enemy and they just turn around and spot you for no reason.

    Overall I feel this is a solid game for the money. The story is interesting and the game lengthy enough to warrant the full price. The game feels nicely polished and the graphics are really good.    … 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.

    the game is pretty enough for a 2017 title, but not the best we've seen. enemies aren't that diverse either - zombie things, then bigger zombie things and then crawling zombie things....you get the point. When your character runs around there is a lack of animations on the character in terms of his body movement and turning, but that could be just me being petty cause I've played too much uncharted. But if you've played uncharted 4 or lost legacy you will know what I mean by "movement and animations".

    Combat is the best bit, good weapon choices and upgrades and stealth options gives plenty of variety and the menus , changing crossbow bolts and figuring things out is a dream.

    Story is ok, not that far into it yet. alcoholic John Wick trying to find his daughter (Keanu Reeves to play Sebastian in the movie?) couple of interesting points, but lacks the quality of storytelling and dramatic voiceover/acting that you get from other games. and with it being his 2nd run into STEM he seems pretty stupid. He talks like everything is new to him and feels very B movie.

    Not that scary, but im fine with that, creepy music and a few jump scares to make you tense is enough for me. I don't like it when I dread going round each corner expecting to have a heart attack. This is just enough dosage.

    There were a couple of sections that worried me as it made me belief the game was ending much sooner than it actually did. Thankfully, that was not the case. There is a fair amount of combat going on with the arsenal covering your basic needs. Melee, close quarters weapons, and a couple of long range for those particular situations. Enemies are grotesque and a bit unnerving in their own right as well as difficult to take down if not properly prepared.

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.

    The enemy intelligence is improved and while the variety is slim there are some nice surprises every now and again.
    The plot line is decent, what you'd expect from this type of game, but it is nice to witness Sebastian's story unfurl and conclude, or so we assume.
    There are some interesting boss fights which will challenge you, however, the puzzle element of the game is all but gone.
    With the original being very linear, it was nice to see the developers go for a more open world feel here and it is fun to explore the various areas of the town as you go through the game.
    Some replay value in the New Game Plus mode that unlocks new things for you to try.
    Only complaints are the stealth controls, they are a bit 50/50 and sometimes you can't pull off a move as you'd wish for some unknown reason, and the cost of some of the upgrades on the Green Gel trees.
    Other than that, a great game and a great installment. Took about 18 hours to complete, roughly an hour a chapter broken down.    … 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. For this I collected slides, but you have not explained what is with him and where he is? And still no DLC    … Expand

    This is a more cinematic experience unlike its predecessor.

    Its original director is not part of this release, you can tell just by playing the first episode because its vibe feels American. The game is quite repetitive and has very limited enemy designs. A normal enemy on the game is re-used in a boss fight. Various boss fights from the previous game are also re-used on this one.    This is a more cinematic experience unlike its predecessor.

    The game also plays a lot with nostalgia as it emphasizes all the events of the previous game and boss fights.

    I highly recommend playing the first installment before this, you will enjoy it more and its better to my liking.

    The story of Castellano's Daughter and Wife is pretty sweet and emotional, and that is what stands out in this installment over the previous one, its the emotional and cinematic parts of the 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

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

    EW2 takes a huge departure from the first installment and trades the traditional survival horror setup for the more modern sandbox style, and has added a stealth element that adds a plethora of new ways to handle situations besides run or gun. Out of ammo? pick up a bottle and throw it in earshot of a zombie, sneak behind it and enjoy one of the multiple (and awesome) instant kill sequences. Don't want to fight? Hide in the brush or walk quietly against a wall, but be careful to move slowly or the enemies will hear you. These features are in no way groundbreaking, but add a level of tension that you really can't get without it.
    EW2 keeps the level up system with the green gel from EW, and lets you choose which attributes and abilities Sebastian will "level up". While I like this system, their is definitely an imbalance between stealth and combat. I prefer stealth, but when it comes to a boss, you need to have some combat and if you aren't prepared, could end up fighting a boss with a hunting knife.
    Combat is the same as the original for the most part. Lots of weapons, a crafting system for items and weapons (also a bit unbalanced) and of course the signature crossbow is back!
    The last thing I'll talk about is the fear factor. I've played the first EW, all the silent hills, and resident evil and this game is HANDS DOWN the scariest thing I've played. The bosses are terrifying and the plot is super tense.
    The biggest complaint I've seen with this game is the ammo conservation. There was only one instance in the game where I ran out of ammo, and was immediately restocked after a few minutes of sneaking. While the stealth is great, it dampens the traditional stress of ammo conservation.
    If you are looking for the same experience you had in the first installment, omit this title. But for those who are open minded, it's a must play for any survival horror junkie.    … Expand

    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.

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

    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)

    Es gibt kein Silent Hill mehr und Resident Evil ist auch nicht mehr das, was es einmal war?

B Movie Zombie Horror e la Resident Evil und der Psychohorror eines Silent Hill? The Evil Within 2 bringt beides auf inspirierte Weise zusammen und garniert das ganze noch mit **** Momenten und weirdem Gegnerdesign. 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.

    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.
