7.8/10
The Evil Within 2 offers some enjoyable scares, but it never transcends or deviates from the many works it draws from

8/10
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.

An intense and thrilling psychological survival horror sequel that improves on its forerunner in almost every way.

Must have horror game
Most logical, sctructurized. Less irrational. More Resident Evil , less Silent Hill. Ending of story line for Kidman, Castellanos and his family. Or not?

Way more enjoyable than the first one
The Evil Within 1 received mixed reviews, and I was one of them who rated it as rather not that good. The horror aspect was terrifying from the start, but the gameplay itself lacked in too many ways to excite me. So here we are with part two of the series and to state the most important: the sequel is better in almost any aspect than its predecessor. The horror remains well placed, the visuals are a pleasure to look at, 'Union' is well-designed, and the story is well-presented. You have various gameplay mechanics, like stealth, crafting, weapon upgrades, and of course, shooting. But why do I rate with only three stars out of five when all of this is so impressive? Because sometimes the whole is more than the sum of its parts. And sometimes the whole is less than the sum of its parts. Unfortunately, for The Evil Within 2 applies the latter. It just doesn't do for me. But this is only my conclusion, and I'm sure the game does very well for others. So don't hesitate to give it a try.

Masterpiece
I'd strongly recommend watching a recap or two of the first game before playing this one to understand the story better and connect with the characters. Here are the YT vids I watched to get caught up: /watch?v=14VGMP5P5C4 - short version /watch?v=_RZsY2GyWfM - longer version I'd watch them both because they each add some details which the other misses. You could play the first game, but it's got pretty shitty scores, so I didn't give it a chance. This game, on the other hand, is a god damned masterpiece, in my opinion! I played this game on release (and now bought it here because I love it) and I still remember some really emotional music pieces from the soundtrack towards the end, coupled with really intense moments in the story. I dropped some tears in the final levels. The gameplay is excellent and tense, with amazing atmosphere and challenging combat if you play on hard, which I would strongly recommend for most horror games since it adds a lot to the atmosphere and sense of danger, not to mention " a sense of pride and accomplishment" (I'm looking at you, EA). Stealthy approach is highly recommended on hard difficulty for extra XP and ammo conservation. Nice talent trees, exploration greatly rewarded and recommended because it adds to the story, but the game is still beatable without it. There were a few optimization problems at launch, but not nearly as bad as other releases nowadays. I've played it on a GTX 1060 and it was fine. Not sure if they've improved it by now, I'd assume they did at least partially, but even if they weren't, this is still a 5-star game for me.

A great survival horror game
As much as I loved the first game. I doubted buying the second due to hearing a lot of hate on it. Personally, they were completely wrong. This game has great horror elements and story thus far. Only on Chapter 7 (trying to get all side missions done as I'm going along) and it is very entertaining. The atmosphere isn't as dark as the first game but more or less feels like a Silent Hill game which is a plus in my books. Anyone who is a fan of the first game, Silent Hill games or just overall horror. You must get this game. Overall, a great game and a must play to all horror game fans. Great work Tango Gameworks! P.S: I will edit my review once I fully complete the story. Also my first review on GOG.
