    I love this game with all its flaws because the story is one of the best I've ever seen, the gameplay is really great and varied, the boss fights are excellent. The first one was nowhere near among the best games, so unfortunately many peoples didn't give a chance to continue.

    I was really impressed with this game. The story is the best thing about this game. It really unfolds upon the first one and it is much more clearer. It could have been a little more polished in some parts, as some animations feel a little rigid. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoyed the first one, or to any fans of this genre.

    Titolo più 'open world' rispetto al predecessore che però mi regalò momenti di suspense ben diversi. Sistemata la situazione dei checkpoint molto (forse troppo) rari

    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.

    I wasn't expecting much from this game but it turned out to be great. Improves a lot from the first game though it does lose some of the horror feel that the first one had. Some what of a decent some with good graphics. Some open world parts that I was not expecting. Hopefully they will make a tgrid one some time in the near future.

    Me ha encantado.
    Engancha rápido, aunque no en el capítulo 1, pero engancha.
    Muy recomendable.
    Sobre todo al principio del juego te genera mucha tensión y angustia los enemigos, escenarios,etc.. Está muy conseguido.

    Esto es otra cosa.... es brutal. Es maravilloso este juego. Mundo abierto, terror y accion en justa medida. Jefes brutales y una primera escena que ya te dice que el argumento estará genial. Es mucho mejor que su predecesor... en 2019 si no lo tienes, compralo.

    First the original game was better and its obvious bkz the original one was directed by a genius japanese And about this game. Story sucks a little. Its predictive and kind of cliche but its good enough for a horror game. Technical graphic sucks with bugs and its normal bkz the publisher is bethesda.

    Gameplay is good but it could be better. Sometimes you think sebastian is out of control. Gunplay is not good and not bad. Some times your bullet are not hit the enemy. Belive me. Specialy when you use sniper. This game designed to be scary but its not at all specialy at the second half it became whole action And the most **** dumb thing is its open world! Yes a survival horror **** open world. I really miss shinji mikami. Get back before bethesda ruin your beloved ip.
    All and all its a good game with lot of fun. But i still prefer the original one. I don know why these days every developer want to add rpg elemans and open world to their game. Plz think before do that. Some games dont need to be open world and some games dont need to be rpg! Look at ghost recon breakpoint. It sucks.    … Expand

    This game is a great improvement over the first Evil Within.

    Even though the horror element is practically gone, everything else got better. The crafting is well balanced and fun.

    Right! So I actually loved my experience and time in this game. The story is really **** nice compared to the **** show that was 'The Evil Within 2', everything is smoother, crisper, a lot more balanced and the whole combat just FEELS good and rewarding.

    I think that my biggest issue with this game is MOST DEFINITELY kinda just the graphical performance. Man, this game just looks ugly,    Right!

The character models are gross. Which is a shame. Also, the voice acting can feel incredibly forced and the actual plot, whilst more comprhendable then the last game, still lacks...well...it lacks brains. It's a bit **** silly. Also the ending of the game is completely crazy. Is a crazy game. I like it tho.

    I really hope this game gets a sequel. I really really really hope that The Evil within gets a third game and that they truly craft a fitting end to this franchise.    … Expand

    Muito mais ambicioso que o 1° titulo, trouxe um mundo Sandbox totalmente exploravel, com história imersiva que traz personagens carismáticos em um universo obscuro. Simplesmente soberbo!

    No game should have unavoidable boss attacks. Especially when they take away half your health. And on top of that, it instantly becomes a clip of you being attacked when the boss gets near, making it feel less like a game that I can control. How does that make sense?

    I bought the first part of the evil within on ps3 and ps4 in both the digital and disk versions. I bought the second part of the evil within 2 on ps4 in both the digital and disk versions. passed the game many times on all difficulties and periodically re-pass! in my opinion this is a masterpiece !! thanks tango and look forward to continuing)!

    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.
