The Evil Within was a technical mess with a poorly told story and early 2000’s era voice acting. The Evil Within 2 takes several steps forward. From the outset, there’s a sense that Bethesda entrusted Tango Gameworks with a larger budget. Visuals are a generational leap over the first game with better performance to boot. Cutscenes are more slickly produced with a level of competence and cinematic flair the first game could only dream of. There are even some clever scene transitions and decent shot compositions. It is a more polished product. With that said, The Evil Within 2‘s most glaring flaw is its lack of soul. In a bid to win over naysayers of The Evil Within, its sequel makes changes that dilute the intellectual property’s identity.

Lack of a soul? Lol
It expands on everything from the first game and is a great sequel with the original at heart
Just finished my 2nd clear last night. I thoroughly enjoyed the game definitely better than the first. Game is really fun once you fully unlock all the skills and upgrade all the guns.
Are you high mate?
Whoever wrote this is on some drugs. Evil Within and 2 are some of my favorite recent horror games. The only one that beats them was RE7 + PSVR was just an unforgettable experience.
It reminds me of the Xbox one. No identity this generation
