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 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.

2017 has been a great year for games, but for me, The Evil Within 2 has been one of the most pleasant surprises. It's a fine example of how a sequel should be done; taking what worked and made the original such a memorable experience while building upon it and stripping out the fat.

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.

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.

The Evil Within 2 came up against the players by adding a very nice story and full content on top of the first game. If you're tired of horror games based on jump scares, I invite you to the dominant, cold sweating world of The Evil Within 2.

The story of The Evil Within 2 is very interesting, conclusive and especially towards the end very well told and provides many surprises throughout the story. The plot would make a good Hollywood flick. In conclusion, I'd like to say that the first Survival Horror sequel of 2014 got a more than worthy sequel. So if you want to take an oppressive horror trip through fantastic worlds, The Evil Within 2 is the perfect choice.
