Que decir de la segunda parte? Simplemente sublime. Se ve espectacular, todo esta mejorado y optimizado. La historia mantiene el nivel, un diez de juego, es que no hay mas.

Great story packed with action and stealth very scary encouters good game overall 8/10

The evil within 2 is a interesting sequal, the progression of this and its prequal remind me almost of the shift from the classic RE games into 4, just on a micro scale. This is not bad, but evil within 2 definitely goes the route of refining its gameplay experience to a polish, it also goes for a much less grimy style than its predecessor, witch I must say evil within 1's style was one of its strongest aspects to me.
The very beggining put me off a bit, Sebastions new voice was very wierd at first but I got used to it, kidmans on the other hand did not bother me nearly as much.

The introduction to the new stem World starts pretty strong, its still very much going for the feverish feel the first game had, and we are intoduced to our first antagonist, who we later learn is named stefano (I will be talking about him later). This opening area before getting into the main town of Union is wonderful, then you get to union.

I did not know how to fully feel about the semi open world areas at first, but the gameplay loop began to really grow on me.

I had to really think of this game in a seperate mindset than I did with the first game, 1 reminds me more of a mix between resident evil and the psychological fuckery of silent hill, while 2 is a much more hollywood feeling survival horror experience ide get out of modern RE, both good but very different.

Evil within 2 really clicked with me when stefano really becomes part of the plot, its a shame he dies hallfway through the game, a psychopathic artist who uses death for his "art" is a character type that is still very engaging, unfortunately you kill him before he really gets the chance to shine.

Now to backtrack, I really enjoyed enjoyed delving back into sebastions past, dealing with the trauma of losing his family (and finding out they are still alive), and dealing with the trauma associated Beacon from the first game.

As to not get too wordy, I find evil within 2 to be a very differnt game, but a great sequal that stands toe to toe with the fever dream that was the first game.

Also Im mad that letterboxing was a bonus for beating the game :(

Laughn' Joke n' Numbnuts the video game. This wasn't directed by Shinji Mikami and it really shows.

Better Resident Evil than most Resident Evils.

Mostly 'what if the evil within was good' but without the evil within's coolest elements -- the chase sequence pace and structure is thrown out for a masterful execution of a kinda generic open world format. Phenomenal art direction.
