This game is truly something special. You can see tith passion and true understandment what made old survival horror titles so engaging, scary and full of imagination. It is not perfect, pretty short, but man, I love indie games like this!
I heard fantastic things about The Evil Within 2 and yeah, it has some really good elements. Gameplay is classic stealth, decent gunplay and survival-crafting-limited resources. For some reasons, Tango Gameworks decided tries with more open world kind of locations. It's lame. It's doesn't look good, it doesn't feel right, especially at the beggining when your hero is extremely slow and fragile. The game is also buggy as hell, nothing really big, but it immediately kills any suspens. First half has some moments of great horror (thanks to monsters design) but it's sluggish. Second mostly abandon sandbox stuff, focus on solid linear survival horror experience, driven by emotional story. Yeah, background with stupid Matrix premise and bad organisation is cliche as hell, but family moments between Sebastian and his daughter/wife are mostly handled really well. You want to see succeed this characters till the end. The Evil Within 2 has many flaws but I can recommend it. If you looking for okay survival horror game, play it.
