The Evil Within 2 is an excellent game and a wonderful survival horror, perfectly mixing Silent Hill and Resident Evil 4 while correcting all the flaws of the original. The story’s better, the locations flow together well, the more open areas are fun to explore, and the ability to choose between action and stealth is very welcome. It’s also incredibly creepy with truly wonderful monster designs. The combat can be a little frustrating, especially early on, and occasionally the stiff Reside...
May it be the likes of Shadow of the Colossus or Metal Gear Solid, if it’s quite there but not enough to push the boundaries, it’s still an awesome game.
Famed Japanese game maker Shinji Mikami delights us with another tense and action-packed survival horror thriller.
The Evil Within 2 get so much right that it's predecessor got wrong, and it's actually a great game on top of that. The initial chapters of the game start off slow, but then once things get rolling, this game is really hard to put down.
The Evil Within 2 combines a great open world with some fun gameplay and smart design to really improve upon the original game.
The Evil Within 2 is an enjoyable, psychological and somewhat emotional trip that I probably won’t forget. As a sequel to it’s predecessor, it takes things in a rather different direction and tries several new things to mixed results. Nonetheless, The Evil Within 2 is a thrilling and tense experience that’ll appeal to most fans of the original and newcomers looking for a harrowing experience they’ve probably not had before.
When Shinji Mikami returned to Resident Evil with the fourth title in the main series, he didn't just develop the most popular entry in the franchise, he redefined the third person shooter. There isn't an over-the-shoulder action game out there since 2005 that wasn't in some way influenced by what h
A lot of improvements over the first game with an engaging story makes The Evil Within 2 a great example of how to do a proper sequel.
Sebastian Castellanos is a man on the edge – but then you would be too, if you’d only just survived a nightmarish virtual reality horror world where everything was out to kill you.
Coming into its release, it would have been easy to give The Evil Within 2 a pass based on the reception of the previous game, and I don't necessarily blame those that might have been let down by The Evil Within for not entirely living up to its lofty expectations. And yet, though The Evil Within 2 might be a different flavor of survival horror this time around, I hope that those willing to give it a chance will be more likely to enjoy its taste.
Some monstrously lovely set pieces are let down by a bit too much padding, some broken mechanics, and an overwrought story.
Horror games are constantly evolving, trying to bring out the next terror to haunt you. Creating the best scenario mixed with an eerie atmosphere to keep you on your toes throughout the entirety of the game. This comes in all new forms, from typical jump scares (which no one appreciates a
