The Evil Within 2

Лучший сиквел, лучший сурвайвл хоррор.

无聊的恐怖游戏，如果一代是100分，那么二代是1分

After finishing The Evil Within 2, I have to say it's quite different in a lot of aspects compared to the previous. It didn't have the best start, the first few open world chapters were too open for me, requiring hours to search every corner for collectables and items. Later it started becoming more linear and enclosed, which increased the horror aspect and started feeling more like the first game. The story and especially the ending were much better. It didn't feel like you knew absolutely nothing about what was actually happening. The visuals got a massive improvement too, along with new unique enemies. The only change that never felt like an improvement was the Goo upgrade system. The upgrades were very situational and boosts to your weapon were minimal. 5 tiers of upgrades for 10% boost each time...

Algunos juegos entretienen. Otros se olvidan al cerrar el menú. The Evil Within 2 hace algo mucho más raro: te obliga a seguir adelante, incluso cuando cada rincón te dice que des la vuelta. Cada bala importa. Cada recurso es un tesoro. Cada calle de Union es un recordatorio de que el horror no necesita aparecer de golpe; puede susurrarte al oído mientras exploras un mundo que se cae a pedazos. Sebastian Castellanos no es un héroe invencible. Es un hombre roto que se enfrenta a un infierno por una sola razón: recuperar a su hija. Esa motivación convierte cada victoria en algo personal y cada enfrentamiento en una auténtica prueba de supervivencia. La mezcla de exploración, supervivencia, acción y terror está magníficamente equilibrada. El juego recompensa la curiosidad, castiga la imprudencia y mantiene la tensión de principio a fin. Sus enemigos son memorables, los jefes imponen respeto y la dirección artística crea escenarios tan inquietantes como fascinantes. La banda sonora, la iluminación y el diseño de sonido consiguen que incluso los momentos de aparente calma resulten inquietantes. Nunca sabes qué hay detrás de la siguiente puerta... y precisamente por eso quieres abrirla. The Evil Within 2 demuestra que el survival horror sigue vivo cuando se combina una historia emocionante con una jugabilidad sólida y una atmósfera sobresaliente. Veredicto: Una obra imprescindible para cualquier amante del terror. Una aventura que no solo pone a prueba tus reflejos, sino también tu determinación. En un género lleno de grandes títulos, The Evil Within 2 se gana su lugar entre los mejores.

1 was better but still good

I wish steam had a "mixed" option for reviews because all in all the story of this game is great, pacing is a little off but otherwise its enjoyable. TLDR: The story was great, but the gameplay was mediocre compared to the first one. More in depth: Probably a hot take but, most everything else about this game is worse in comparison to the first one. I played them both back to back, with the second game being played on nightmare. The open world aspect of the game were a downgrade, it made the game too easy. I could just run away from enemies and wait for the AI to lose sight of me. IMO it should have stayed linear, not every game needs to be open world, especially a horror game. Stealth was upgraded in your ability to sneak and takedown enemies in comparison to the first game, and yet its made worse due to the fact that the AI for detecting you in stealth is absolute garbage. You can lose an enemy by sneaking behind a waist high box and they'll never find you. It may have been because I was playing on nightmare but my weapons don't feel quite as powerful as the first game, even with some of them being fully upgraded. For example my shotgun in the first game could knock a few enemies to the ground to give me a little breathing room, in this one it struggles perform the same. The enemies are more spastic in their movements but I'm quite okay with that only because the game was open world, it would have been beyond frustrating if it was linear and the enemies moved like that. The characters were a mixed bag for me, not gonna say names in case somebody reads this and hasn't played it yet. Some of the characters I really liked, some of them I really hated entirely because of their dialogue, which could be great or bad depending on the character. The villains of the game were ranged from good to forgettable but still paled in comparison to the first game's villain. I wasn't a fan of how they give constant exposition on what's going on, I don't believe everything needs to explain to the player constantly all the time. I also miss the match mechanic from the first game, with the first game I had to be guessing whether or not I wanted to use some of my matches to burn a body that *might* be a zombie for some peace of mind, or if I should just risk it getting back up and attacking me when I turn my back. In this game they still try to do the "Is it dead is it not" trick but 10 times out of 10 if it looks like one of the lost and its lying down, its still alive. Meanwhile if the "corpse" looked like a normal untransformed person, 10 times out of 10 they were actually dead. I don't believe this game deserves a positive review, but it also doesn't deserve a negative one, unfortunately because there is no "mixed review" option, I've chosen to lean into the negative. The game could've been better, still worth it if you enjoyed the first games story, or have never played the first one to compare.

великолепная игра, по сравнению с 1 частьюю просто космос, до слез

Pra um jogo de 2017 muito Braaboo! Me sinto meio paranoico e acho que estou dentro do stem sem saber oq é vida real. zerado com sucesso! no aguarde do 3.

I enjoyed this one even more than the first game 😭 The gameplay feels smoother, the exploration is way better, and I actually liked being able to walk around Union and find random side stuff instead of just constantly going in a straight line. The atmosphere is still really good too, especially in some of the more artistic and creepy areas. Stefano was honestly such a cool and annoying villain in a good way. Every scene with him felt interesting and weird in the best way possible. The whole art/gallery aesthetic mixed with horror worked SO well. I also liked that the game still keeps that stressful survival feeling where you’re low on ammo half the time and every enemy suddenly becomes your biggest problem, but compared to the first game it felt way more polished and enjoyable overall. And honestly I’d definitely recommend playing the first game before this one because otherwise you’ll probably be confused about why certain things are happening and who some characters are. The story hits way harder when you already know what happened before. Some people say it’s less scary than the first one and I kinda get it, but for me it was more fun overall because of the gameplay, story, and exploration.

去年玩的，给到9/10，结局扣分太草率了
