The Evil Within 2 Reviews
A worse game than the already flawed original, whose poorly crafted action is as ineffective as its clichéd attempts at horror.
The Evil Within 2 often feels uneven, but that's probably the point. Even if it isn't, there's enough blood, guts, and horror to keep your heart racing.
Castellanos pushes through the twisted world in the hunt for Lily, encountering new faces, old faces, disgusting nightmare faces, and a semen monster. By the end of it all, I couldn't remember half of what happened and had no desire to explore STEM for a second time on a higher difficulty. Reducing the amount of bullets is not going to make the experience more compelling.
The Evil Within 2 is a sequel that hooks the player from the first minute. Even though the AI has some issues and some basic enemies, the gameplay quality, its amazing visual style and a great story make this game one of the best horror experiences nowadays.

The Evil Within 2 is definitely one step ahead of its predecessor: a rich, deep and long-lived horror survival. The level of difficulty has been considerably softened. If this makes the title more accessible, on the other hand, he denies that authoritative uniqueness of the title that inspired it.

A remarkable adventure that offers a great atmosphere, story and a solid combat. Don't expect to be scared by it, though.

There's plenty tucked away in The Evil Within 2 that will both appeal to both fans of the original and new players, with it presenting a mix of Mikami's best ideas and John Johanas' new direction. It's certainly not what I was expecting, but in a good way.
Tango Gameworks' sequel gives us a small but satisfyingly scary open world loaded with monsters and dread
The Evil Within 2 has arrived just in time for the spookiest holiday of the year. While the difficulty level has been ratcheted down noticeably in the name of accessibility, the harder modes should suffice for those looking for a challenge. Creepy environments are a staple of this series, and there are even a few jump scares thrown in for good measure. A much more focused story will drive you to want to play for “just one more chapter,” while a decent selection of side missions will also keep you occupied for the duration. Still, by incorporating a lot of the more traditional elements of open-world games, such as a regular map, waypoint system, and lengthy cutscenes, the game has lost some of the abstract charm seen in the original. This should not act as a deterrent, however; horror fans have found the best game to play this Halloween.
The Evil Within 2 is just like its predecessor: a mixed bag. While it had the potential to be something absolutely brilliant, Tango Gameworks has attempted to both cram too much in and offer too little at the same time.
The Evil Within 2 is a frightening game, though perhaps not as pants-wettingly scary as the early portions of Resident Evil 7.
The Evil Within 2 doesn't reinvent the survival-horror genre but makes it work in more of an open world.
The game's greatest strength is avoiding the pitfalls of the first; removing frustrating boss fights and lessening the amount of forced stealth sections.
The Evil Within 2 is one of the most great and emotional adventures of this year. Developers, sadly, did not have enough time for polishing of the game and expanding open areas, but we hope that all the problems will be solved in the third game, if it, of course, will be released.

Although it tries a little too hard and fails to capture of the horror tropes, The Evil Within 2 is a great, imaginative game with enough tension that you won't mind the lack of horror.
The addition of open levels is a mixed bag, but this terrifying follow-up is a worthy addition to the genre
The Evil Within 2 may not be the perfect horror game, but it manage to both feel as a unique experience and improve on the original in almost every detail.

Evil Within 2 is how a sequel should be constructed. Everything about it feels like an improvement upon its predecessor.
Speaking of annoying, the movement and combat in The Evil Within 2 are largely a source of frustration.
