While it lacks some of the grimey and gritty aesthetics that made the first game so visually notable, it really polishes the gameplay, fleshing it out with a cover system akin to Splinter Cell Conviction, and overall it bears a striking resemblance to the Last of Us in terms of how you move through the world. The semi open world/metroidvania elements work wonders for the pacing, though I must note that, at a certain point, the game's level to level structure falls more in line with the first game, and there are only two small maps which break up the other environments you'll be visiting. One of the best aspects of these maps is how you can actually spend the time clearing them of enemies to more easily move through them, which gives a greater weight to the experience as opposed to what most games do which is endlessly respawn the enemies. It is a resource drain but you are rewarded with experience points for upgrades and easier access to many of the game's hidden resources.
Now, this is a very long game, but I found that for as cheesy and overacted as the story can be, it has a very surprising and emotionally satisfying resolution. It does a great job of making you reflect on how much Sebastian has been through and, by extension, pulls you in because you experienced it all with him. Some may find the occasional 10-20 minute cutscenes a bit annoying but I found it to be a great motivator to push through some of the more challenging moments.
If you love Resident Evil's more recent return to survival horror's roots, buy Evil Within and Evil Within 2. They are "classic" games in the genre. If you love metroidvanias and survival horror, buy this game. If you love beautiful art direction, buy this game. This is one you really can't miss if you love horror. I will forever yearn for a final game in the series but chances are slim due to poor sales. At times frightening, genuinely emotional, and always extremely intense, few games give you a greater feeling of accomplishment when you face their greatest challenges and succeed.
Final points:
+Story really sneaks up on you and hits hard by the end
+Stealth-heavy gameplay is really exquisite
+Crafting mechanics are super helpful
+Satisfying upgrade system
+Inspired art direction
+Really gorgeous graphics
+Very long and packed with content for those who really want to take their time
-Maybe a couple levels too long
-Story doesn't really address certain questions from the end of Evil Within 1 and certain characters never appear.
I played through on Casual with NO Auto Aim more on the Stealthy Side, The "Casual" difficulty setting definitely took the the Survival Feel out of the Game. Wish I Played it on the regular setting. Casual you never have to worry about ammo or crafting parts. but over all i may replay it on the Normal Setting.
4.8/5.0 Stars only deducting for the Millions of save points and the Story went in a Weird direction.
Monster kills and items found throughout the world will grant you green goo, The Evil Within 2’s version of Xp. For example, you can choose to put points into your stealth skills, enabling you to sneak up fast behind monsters to take them out one by one or bypassing them entirely; only electing to use your guns when things get out of hand. Maybe you’re more keen to go in guns blazing, in which case you can buff up your defenses and shooting skills, the latter of which will eventually grant the ability to slow down time for ultimate precision ala Max Payne or more recently Red Dead’s Dead Eye. Additionally, weapon parts enable you to upgrade your favorite weapons with increased damage, larger magazines etc. Some of these have branching paths and later upgrades become quite expensive. This, coupled with the finite resources available encourage tough yet meaningful choice that further enhance replay-ability.
I genuinely had a great time exploring the wide open levels and killing the various monsters that populate the virtual world of Evil Within 2, which range from ordinary zombies to flame golems, banshees and creepy WW1 gas mask-flame thrower dudes. The atmosphere and monsters induce fear and tension, as does the limited ammunition which encourages you to use each and every weapon and resource available to you. Thankfully ammunition is craftable, with certain spare parts able to be used for multiple types. For example, gun powder is a component for any type of round, from shotgun shells to sniper rounds. This enables you to make more rounds for your preferred weapon even if you can’t find any in the world, with the fair caveat that more powerful rounds cost more resources.
With all of my praise of the various gameplay systems and choice, there are a few small drawbacks to me. The big one is the story, which while not terrible, isn’t all that engaging. It’s an interesting idea with our protagonist Sebastian being forced to re-enter the virtual world from the first game in order to rescue his daughter from the uncaring corporation that built said virtual world and trapped her there mistakenly. It’s a little matrix-y, which in my mind is a plus. However, the whole thing is pretty run of the mill in its execution and it doesn’t really induce much emotion other than fear through gameplay and atmosphere. In addition, the linear spaces in between the open world ones just aren’t as compelling as the offer more limited opportunities to experiment. These are small detractments in the grand scheme of things, and don’t weigh down the game too much as a whole. Besides, this isn’t exactly a genre known for great narratives. Can I get a “Barry, where’s Barry?” Anyone?
Most of the things The Evil Within 2 brought to the table were a great success, particularly the open world sections and the numerous progression systems in place. Here I think they were done better than in any other horror game I can think of. With Resident Evil 7 earlier in the year as well as recent independent horror franchises like Outlast and Amnesia, I think horror games are going through a bit of a renaissance compared to what we had in recent years. Better than that even, is the fact that these games are taking what worked in classic horror games like Resident Evil 2 and Silent Hill 2, and updating those formulas with more modern conventions and presentation: ie, you won’t see a key taking up the same inventory space as 30 grenade rounds! This is the best possible scenario and I am very grateful for it, as just a few years ago developers were mistakenly cranking out action titles full of shooting under these franchises, chasing the Call of Duty money and assuming that’s what the fan bases wanted. Those games are fine, but clearly there’s also a large audience like myself who is yearning for more traditional survivial horror experiences without the frustrations of the past. If that’s what you’re looking for, The Evil Within 2 delivers and does a damn good job.
