The story is very meaty in The Evil Within 2 (no pun intended) which will keep players engaged for a good many hours. It’s not a game with a simple blow through narrative though. It takes time to see it to completion.
The Evil Within 2 is a good horror survival game in itself, but it is considered a backward step for the series at all levels except the technical aspect. The first section of the game presented a similar experience to the open world in a very excellent way, but soon the game returns to the linear method and here show the disadvantages and most important semi-random confrontations with the enemies and the battles of leaders without creativity and this are the points that made the first game a genius one. The story-telling was not good and the level of writing was bad, and the dialogues were flat and shallow. Despite all this, the game certainly good and you must play it, but we were hoping for a game that surpassed the first one and not the other way round. Mikami's departure seemed to have had a big impact on the game.

It may have made some design concessions that could dissuade fans of the original, but The Evil Within 2 is a far more engrossing nightmare that you won't want to wake up from.
The Evil Within 2 is highly recommended to anyone who loves a horror game, and you don’t have to play the first one to get an understanding of what is going on
Despite its negative aspects, The Evil Within 2 shows what it came for. Its experience is incredible and challenging, and in certain moments you can forget about all the incomplete story plots to just have fun.

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.

A decent enough action game trying, and failing, to be a horror game. Enjoyable, but fails to deliver the experience fans were craving.
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 definitively better than the original. An already great horror game has been refined and expanded, offering just the right balance between overwhelming oppressiveness and a satisfying fight for survival. It's another love letter to fans of Resident Evil 4.
Tango Gameworks take another stab at creating a thrilling survival horror title, and defy expectation by applying open-world action philosophies with a great degree of success
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.

"The Evil Within 2 is a pretty average horror game. It's just fine, it's not offensively bad, it's not earth-shatteringly original. It's just serviceable, though the dialogue and writing leaves a lot to be desired."
The Evil Within 2 left me exhausted by the time the credits rolled; like I’d survived an ordeal – and I have. It cleverly provides you with just enough motivation to keep pushing forward, even when the odds seem to be stacked against you. Some of the narrative beats fall a little flat but the mind-bending style is mesmerizing and its open world sections with memorable short stories make it one of the more distinctive survival horror games you can get your hands on
When I finished the story, I had to stop myself from immediately starting a new game. That's partially because this is one of the best survival horror games I've played, but also because you unlock several snazzy new shirts for Sebastian, alongside other goodies to take with you into NG+.
The Evil Within 2 is a huge step forward for the series that emphasizes exploration, stealth, and conserving resources for the more challenging encounters. Though the compelling plot is weighed down by poor writing and poorer voice performances, the game offers a great horror experience with a ton of content.
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,

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.
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.

One thing that The Evil Within has done right so far? Improved with its second game. Let's hope that's one element of the formula that repeats with the inevitable third installment.
