    Fun survival horror

    There are a lot of similarities between the evil within series and resident evil and that's a good thing. The Evil Within 2 steps it up a bit with a more coherent story compared to the first game. Gameplay is solid monster shooting and surviving. With around 20 hours of content it's a sizable experience that I really enjoyed. Would definitely recommend.

    Survival Horror Refined

    I’m a fan of survival horror. While the genre had, for a while, made a shift from inventory management and survival to a surplus of ammo with a focus on action, things are starting to look up with games like Outlast and the latest entry in the Resident Evil franchise. Evil Within 2 manages to create a nice bridge between survival and action by giving players a solid arsenal with just enough ammo to get yourself into trouble. Frame this in a broken world of connected minds, and you’ve got a satisfying recipe for trippy and grotesque psychological survival horror. The Evil Within 2 is a perfect example of what survival horror should be. The weapons you’re provided throughout the campaign help to keep you from feeling entirely powerless, while enticing you to be more courageous than you really should be. Ammo is extremely scarce and you may find yourself using more than you should on standard enemies instead of saving it up for boss fights. This can create a steep spike in the game’s difficulty, but that really comes down to bad planning. Inventory and resource management are a huge part of what makes this game successful as a survival horror game. You have the option to blast your enemies to oblivion and feel powerful, but that road tends to lead to an abrupt end in your power fantasy as the game’s challenging boss fights will leave you begging for mercy if unprepared. The Evil Within 2 knows exactly what it is and doesn't try so much to be an emulation of something successful as much as it is an evolution or refinement of what makes the genre so great. Despite the action and RPG elements, the game never makes you feel powerful. You're constantly going into a big fight with just enough in your inventory to make it by (provided you have the skill to survive - I did not. I died over 100 times over the course of my first playthrough on Nightmare). The marriage of concepts from Resident Evil and Silent Hill makes for a near perfect survival horror game that hearkens back to the past of the genre while driving it in new directions that haven't really been seen since Silent Hill 2 and RE4. There's a constant, looming dread of unpreparedness, incentive to avoid conflict instead of just killing everything in front of you. That paired with a story that's as absurd as it is intriguing and emotionally captivating makes for a truly remarkable gaming experience.

    Great Horror Survival Game

    The first Evil Within was great, but this one is even better! The atmosphere is awesome. Evil Within 2 is less linear than the first game and more open world. You can explore as much or little as you want. Taking on side missions helps you get more supplies and learn more about the story. Highly recommended for fans of horror survival games.

    Definite improvement from the first one.

    The Evil Within 2 is a frightening game, though perhaps not as pants-wettingly scary as the early portions of Resident Evil 7. The game itself is improved nicely over the original, with a great open-world structure and lots of interesting missions to take on. The actual story is extremely compelling as we follow Sebastian's journey towards redemption amid a world filled with both human and inhuman monsters. If you're looking for a lengthy and frightening adventure this Halloween season, look no farther than The Evil Within 2.
