TOP FUN THINGS TO DO:
⭐️ Collecting green goo? I dunno, it's for your brain....
⭐️ Trying to save your daughter, it's a hell of a ride!
⭐️ Combat/stealth is so fun!
THE UNIQUES:
💎 The monsters are so creative!
💎 The option to play this in third person or first person.
💎 It's still scary as fuck!
PLAYER GAMING REQUIREMENTS:
💼 Survival Horror.
💼 Dark.
💼 Action.
PROS:
+ The first thing I noticed above anything else were how much the controls have improved to the previous title, no more standing up automatically when aiming down the sights! The whole thing feels so much more polished in this area.
+ They've separated the upgrades into two parts, weapons are now upgraded on the workbench and your own abilities are upgraded in the "chair". There's still the green gel but it's no longer used for guns, only for your abilities which make much more sense!
+ A lot of craftables scattered across the map, this made the game so much more fun, being able to craft ammunition is a real game changer for these type of games.
+ The voice acting! Okay some lines are a kinda cheesy but I think this gives Sebastian some personality.
+ I like how Kidman and Sebastian talk about their time inside STEM and nothing feels forgotten, it's a nice touch.
+ The story is top notch, it's better than the first title on so many levels (Not saying the first Evil Within was terrible), they clearly took their time with the plot.
CONS:
- The ending feels a tad ruched, put it this way, the first 1-8 chapters took a little time to get through, where as the remaining chapters were over before they started, given.... this is the only con I could find.
VERDICT:
It's nice to see Sebastian again but why force this guy back into a living nightmare? To save some kid that he thought died in a house fire? Go back the bar buddy, nothing is safer than the bottom of a bottle. All jokes aside, this man is the most fearless detective I've ever played.
If you've played any of the first Evil Within, you'd understand how messed up these places can be, but this guy knows the drill and dives straight back in there to save his daughter, pure madness but one heck of a storyline! If you've played the likes of Resident Evil, Alan Wake or Silent Hill, you'll definitely like Evil Within, it's pretty much a stamped on.
I'd go as far as saying it's as good as the RE series and those are pretty amazing, it's seriously up there, I just hope they don't ruin something this great because it's obvious a third one will come out eventually. Don't delay any longer guys, buy this game!
Total Score = 94/100.
GAMEPLAY:
Similar to its predecessor, the game is a survival horror game. Played from a third-person perspective or a first-person perspective, the player assumes control of detective Sebastian Castellanos, who must descend into the world of Union to rescue his daughter, Lily.
In The Evil Within 2, maps are larger and there are multiple ways for players to advance in a level. The player is also given an item known as "The Communicator", which helps to highlight the objectives, resources and enemies featured in the game's world. It also reveals Resonance points, which provides hints regarding what had happened in the world of Union. Players can explore the map area freely to complete side objectives and scout for resources, which are scarce.
Players can engage in direct confrontation with enemies using weapons like guns, or use stealth to prevent themselves from being noticed or sneak behind enemies to kill them silently
