The Evil Within 2 Reviews
One of the best survival games currently available, and one of the most improved sequels. The game packs a myriad of features and improvements to create the perfect blend for horror fans. Some issues mar the experience, but don't stop it from being a must play.

The real issue with The Evil Within 2 is that it has tried to marry too many foreign gameplay elements to the genre, whilst not addressing a lot of technical annoyances that, if remedied, would have provided enough refreshment to the third-person horror experience alone. Whereas Resident Evil 7 shifted the perspective into first-person, and re-discovered its core emphasis - much to its advantage - The Evil Within 2 has expanded mechanically without really acting on the criticism of the first game. The controls are sluggish, the camera doesn't react fast enough, and it has the habit of limiting player perspective in an obnoxious way. Even though this experience is quite different to the original, and far more compelling and successful, it's disappointing that the abstract mind games it pulls couldn't be left to speak for themselves. All the same, this is a solid survival horror title, although in the end it borrows just a bit too much from Resident Evil 4.
The Evil Within 2 is up there with some of my favorite games of 2017, an absolute must play for anyone who liked Resident Evil 4 or Dead Space. Now can we get a sequel to Shadows of the Damned already, Shinji?
The Evil Within 2 continued where we left first part but on a wider scale, allowing the player to navigate freely for the first time in a semi-open world, using tools and elements and weapons are more sophisticated and versatile and serve the method of playing in more than one way and having exciting side quests and rewarding for anyone who prefers to roam and explore, but the game shifting to action more than the last part and the beginning of the weak story that the player has to wait until the second part of events to interact with, but at the level of atmosphere and Stage Design also enemies you will inevitably feel terrified.

The Evil Within 2 doesn't have anything new to offer the franchise. It fails to be frightening, the narrative is a mess, and it only manages to keep its head above the blood water with some decent survival-action mechanics.
The main problem of The Evil Within 2 is that as a horror game, it is not scary enough. but The game tells a great story and its gameplay, music, characterization and other features are good enough to make it an enjoyable game,

The Evil Within 2 is not a step forward. On the contrary, if it were not for an open world and a prettier picture, it would be a step backwards. Nevertheless, that core basis, which was in the first game, is still working, and it's because of it you will not drop a sequel halfway.

Chapter 3 was our highlight with the game, but it failed to maintain the element of surprise and the joy of exploring the unknown to the end. also, the gameplay mechanics didn't improve as they should over the first game. there is special moments to be found, but it doesn't reach the brilliance of the first neither in art style nor game design.

Although it doesn't have the masterfully crafted levels and heart-attack inducing battles from the first game, The Evil Within 2 manages to stand on it's own legs.

The Evil Within 2 is certainly one of the best horror games of this generation: a great experience that pays tribute to the most important classics of the genre, such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill, but a game that loses some of the charm of the first chapter due to a easier experience and a lower difficulty. Despite a few issues and technical flaws, the game is strongly advised, especially to horror lovers.

The Evil Within 2 corrects many mistakes from the first game. It is an excellent survival horror title. However, there are some problems, like the story (it isn't as good as the first game), less memorable bosses than the original and some combat mechanics.

The Evil Within 2 can be genuinely terrifying at times. The game masterfully blends survival horror elements with plenty of action in between moments of silence. As a sequel, it is a bigger, better and ultimately more enjoyable experience.
The Evil Within 2 took what The Evil Within did and improved it in every way. If you need to scratch the survival horror itch, The Evil Within 2 is an easy sell.
The Evil Within 2 is a good survival horror game for genre fans to sink their teeth into. The story makes more sense this time around, and the atmosphere delivers the right amount of unease, which is what will keep players plugging away to the end. The gameplay has been tweaked to be easier, but it's not to the point where you can go through without much trouble. Despite the presence of a few technical issues, TEW2 looks and sounds great, and it's certainly worth your time, even in this incredibly packed gaming year.
The whole point of The Evil Within 2 is its most serious problem. the game is more stressful than fearsome. it doesn't even try to scare you. but as a whole, it could be a worthwhile experience and it brings up some interesting ideas.

Strong pacing, rewarding progression, and innovative level design set a solid foundation for the franchise's future, and underneath a few layers of cheese and grit is a story worth experiencing for its creativity and strong emotional core. If The Evil Within was a modern take on classic survival horror, then The Evil Within 2 is the next step for the genre.
In general, the macabre that The Evil Within 2 brings is spectacular that times you can’t help it but admire the ‘artwork’ it supposedly brings. The adverse perception of this game: portraits coming to life, a door that wasn’t there in the first place, walking on stairs that you didn’t realize was there – messing up your sense of directions gives a foreboding horror while you explore.
The Evil Within 2 is a tense and challenging game that still manages to remain accessible.
The Evil Within 2 doesn't attempt to do much in originality when it comes to the survival-horror genre but successfully creates a gripping tale of horror and suspense. It takes a while to get started the story eventually evolves into a captivating tale of dedication and desires.
Those 15 hours needed to complete the story pass in no time, and thanks to the pleasant gameplay and satisfying combat system, you immediately want to start the game again on a higher level of difficulty.
