An intense and thrilling psychological survival horror sequel that improves on its forerunner in almost every way.
Eurogamer
Resident Evil 4 meets the Truman Show in an entertaining but unremarkable follow-up, held back by tepid stealth and warmed-over scares.
IGN
The Evil Within 2 gives you more options to play your way in a much bigger survival-horror playground than the original. Although a disjointed plot and weak protagonist make it slow to get started, being pursued through an intriguingly bizarre world by plentiful and disturbing monsters kept my palms sweaty and my heart in my throat thanks to a strict adherence to the most important survival horror rule: you should always be on the back foot.
Metro GameCentral
A worse game than the already flawed original, whose poorly crafted action is as ineffective as its clichéd attempts at horror.
