Modern design overtakes classic survival
TEW2 is a decidely "better" but less interesting game than TEW1. While the first game felt like a messy experimental love letter to grimy slashers and Mikami's previous work. TEW2 shrugs all of that off for a cleaner, more fluid and decidedly less interesting take on the world established by the first game. The jank is toned down, no more faux widescreen ratio you will want turned off. It feels like a modern game complete with a semi open world. While this modern push is undoubtedly the reason people champion this game over the first, I feel it's actually very jarring and doesn't compliment the first game either. Gone is the gritty Texas Chainsaw Massacre look. Gone is the classic survival horror focus on ammo preservation entirely. No more shooting a monster in the legs for a cheeky match, or using matches on suspicious corpses. It actually feels like a step down and more limited at times and the focus on resource preservation almost entirely gone. Even in the story department, 2 feels like a very different game starring completely different actors. Beyond the main premise and some names. None of the tone, writing or characterization of the first game carry over to the second. I actually think it would have been beneficial if they brought in entirely new characters to star in this. It would have felt better. That said. I do think this is a good game. Better in some aspects. Worse in others. I think your enjoyment will hinge on how much you enjoy the first game. Ironically this feels like it was made for people who didn't like the first one. So if that is you, great. If you did like it though. This might feel a bit offputting at times.
