Gameplay wise, this one’s far better than the first one. The art direction, pacing, enemy design and atmosphere is much stronger in the first game I think. The more Open world feel of the 2nd game didn't make me as scared as the 1st game, With the more Linear level design in the Evil Within 1 it truly made me feel helpless. Still this was one of the better sequels to come out even tho it was toned down horror wise. Its a shame these games never got the credit they deserved..

10/10 – A Masterpiece of Emotion, Storytelling, and Heart The Evil Within 2 isn't just a horror game—it's an emotional journey that completely took me by surprise. I went in expecting some creepy monsters and jump scares, but what I got was so much deeper: a story full of love, guilt, friendship, and sacrifice that left a lasting impression on me long after the credits rolled. I found myself genuinely connecting with almost every character. The relationships felt real, the emotions were raw, and the pacing was just perfect. There were moments of hope, despair, fear, and even warmth that I honestly didn’t expect from a survival horror title. It pulled me in so hard that I would forget to do my work because I was so invested in seeing what happened next. Yes, the zombie AI was kind of dumb at times, and there were a few glitches here and there (some were even kind of funny), but honestly? I didn’t care. The combat wasn’t the highlight for me anyway. It was the story—and oh my god, what a story. The ending left me both heartbroken and satisfied. Some characters… I just didn’t want to say goodbye to, but it is what it is. This game has its hiccups, but they don’t matter when everything else is this good. The narrative alone is strong enough to carry the entire experience. If you’re looking for a game that delivers more than just scares—something that hits your heart as much as your nerves—The Evil Within 2 is it. Absolutely recommended. 10/10.

One of the best horror games At the beginning of the game, everything is really scary, just like the previous series The NPCs are well designed The game map is relatively good and you can find many sub-missions and items The story of the wonderful game and connecting it to the first version The graphics of the game are great compared to the year it was made In general, the game is good in every way

Aug. 2024

This is the best horror game I've played in years. The fact that its OPEN WORLD means you never quite feel like you are "where you are supposed to be". In linear horror games no matter how scared you are you know in the back of your head "I was designed to be in this part of the game at this point. There is probably enough ammo and items around for me to deal with whatever I run into." BUT, in this game you constantly wonder if you are in a place you shouldn't be yet. Wondering if you accidentally stumbled upon a place meant for later. Fearful that you spent ammo you shouldn't have on enemies you shouldn't be fighting. Plus its stealth gameplay is great to increase the tension and horror. its amazing. By it now.
