    I gave 9 because Shinji Mikami is not a director but as a producer. (I know it's a lame excuse)

    If you are a big fan of The Evil Within, you should like this game as well.

    I hope Tango will make The Evil Within 3 in the future.

Also ich sage euch warum für mich the evil within 2 ein Meisterwerk ist und alle Resident evil spiele übertrifft und fangen wir mit der Story an was die meisten Resident evil Spiele nicht haben vor allen gute Story und the evil within 2 ist ein parade Beispiel wie gute Geschichten in horror spielen funktionieren von vorne bis hinten spanened man weiß nie was mit der Tochter passiert und warum auch deine frau verschwunden ist und alles ist so spannend aufgebaut das man nie weiß was als nächstes passiert. Dan diese brutale Atmosphäre oder Sound alles passt von der grafik will ich ganicht reden die ist extrem gut und das Horror ist auch sehr gut hält sich meistens in allen Sand box arialen Konstant gut .,Dan Reden wir mal über die Charaktere die sind sehr spannend geschrieben und die nebenmissionen sind sehr gut ich liebe einfach dieses Spiel und egal in welchem Bereichen op horror, Atmosphäre oder sound einfach geil und ein muss für alle Horror fans… Expand

    Excellent game. Very good balance of survival horror/ action. Great scenario that closed many plot holes of the first game.
    The only negative thing is the enemies 's AI.

    Final Thoughts:

    All in all, The Evil Within 2 takes what works from the first game and focuses it. It’s a fun, often frightful survival horror with decent pacing and replayability. A cohesive plot allows the characters to better shine and stronger voice acting keeps the experience immersive.

Gráficos: 10/10. Definitivamente hay un salto tremendo de calidad entre los dos juegos, la iluminación está de maravilla y no tuve necesidad de subirle todo el brillo a las configuraciones del mismo.

    Banda Sonora: 9/10. Se queda detrás del primer juego que tenía una banda sonora mucho más inmersiva pero tampoco es que este mal sino simplemente bien.

    Rejugabilidad: 10/10. Hay un total de cinco niveles de dificultad y la opción de Nueva Partida+ para cada una exceptuando el Modo Clásico. Para los que lograron la proeza de dominar al 100% el primer juego probablemente querrán irse directo a las dificultades más altas; afortunadamente el juego es más prudente con respecto a la dificultad a diferencia del primero que la mayoría del tiempo era muy injusto.

    Veredicto y nota final: 9.7. Es superior al primer juego muy a pesar de que se pierde la atmósfera tenebrosa optando por algo más práctico.    … Expand

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    A massive 9, cause it's better than the first one. The only negative point is the lack of horror, as jump-scare and boss that made you bristle.

    In other hand, we have a more vast arsenal and a "open world" with a exploration that rewards you. If you love horror and shooting games (any of the both), it's a game you should play.

    Оригинал не был отличной игрой, но имел тенденцию трескаться под тяжестью собственных амбиций. Продолжение лучше почти во всех отношениях. Tango Gameworks многому научились.

    the difficulty was changed after half of the game, it felt like a different game. also there was a change in the plot, but I will not get into it as I don't want to give any story spoilers.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Personal opinion: a piece of horror game, one of the best on ps4, quite complete I would say, drinks from other classics such as resident Evil and silent Hill, but with its own personality, there are moments for terror, for action and stealth. All this in a formidable story where it continues where the first part ended. The duration is very good, it is quite long. I also like the graphics, it has a variety of scenarios always well carved. Perfect and scary sound. Recommended for horror lovers.… Expand

    Let me start by saying that I truly believe this is the greatest horror game of all time, and that's coming from someone completely obsessed with the Silent Hill and Resident Evil series.

    As twisted as this game is, I couldn't wipe the smile off my face the entire time. The Evil Within 2 is worth your time, especially if you're looking for something to scratch the survival-horror itch.

    Visually beautiful, horrifyingly unsettling, and unbelievably fun. Although I enjoyed the first Evil Within, the second blows the first out of the water. The Evil within 2 is by far my favorite survival horror game, and that says alot because there are so many great survival horror games i love out there. Do yourself a favor and play this game, i cannot praise it enough.

    A gripping, well-told horror story held back by occasionally awkward handling.

    From one of the minds that brought us the Resident Evil series, The Evil Within 2 serves as a survival horror delight. It’s a jolting, excellent tale of horror and mystery with a strong story and a driving narrative, plus a multitude of side quests and sub-plots to keep even the most seasoned players engaged and thrilled. It is not a perfectly executed game by any means, but, like the original game, the flaws tend to get buried under the bloody heap of viscera and terror players will experience should they decide to pick up a copy.

    The Evil Within 2 doesn't reinvent the survival-horror genre but makes it work in more of an open world. Blending it with the tightly directed sections we have come to expect from the genre creates a fantastic horror setting that cranks up the tension only when it's needed. Players are rewarded for exploring and the scarce resources are distributed in a way that you often feel like there is only enough to scrape by, yet it never leaves you feeling under-prepared. Unfortunately, Sebastian's movement and animation often feel disconnected and some animations do seem clumsy in general, while some visual assets noticeably pop into view. Thankfully, these minor issues don't detract too much from the overall package and The Evil Within 2 delivers an interesting and memorable horror experience that is challenging yet fair.
