The Evil Within 2 - PS4

Wow what an amazing game this is, i loved it from start to finish i was a little worried about this because the first game was so great and i didn't think they could match it but they certainly did and more, the game play is nice the graphics are great. This game had the much better story line but the first game was more scarier but don't worry this game has it's fair share of scares too, the enemies are frightening and original which will have you on the edge of your seat, a lot of things return from the first game such as the green gel, the same weapons (but better), the strange nurse, the mirrors.I feel they may have a little over complicated the upgrade system but it isn't that big of a problem i feel they should have kept the green gel to upgrade everything, this time green gel only upgrades abilities such as stamina and health, and then there is a really rare red gel which allows you to unlock further upgrades so you level up 1, 2 and 3 and then use a red gel to get access to level 4 and 5, the weapons you upgrade with parts that you find throughout the game such as steal pipes, nails, fuses and then you can find high grade parts which are like the weapon version of red gel it allows you to upgrade the higher levels ect, you can also craft ammunition with gunpowder and other items you find through the game which was a good idea and it helped a lot, ammo isn't a problem on this game like it was on the first game same with stamina it lasts so much longer on this game where on the first game it ran out so quickly which was frustrating.This game is trippy at times makes you uncomfortable and on edge which is great some of the enemies like the camera enemy, the guardian, and the humming ghost they are truly frightening and have you bricking it, they done such a fantastic job with this game, everything was great i can't think of anything negative about it, if you are a true survival horror fan then this is definitely up your street and you won't be disappointed.I have to give this game 10/10 great job i hope there is a part 3.

The Evil Within 2.Genre: Survival Horror.Console: PS4/Xbox One.PS4 Review.Synopsis.Detective Sebastian Castellanos has lost everything, including his daughter, Lily. To save her, he is forced to partner with Mobius, the shadowy organization responsible for the destruction of Sebastian’s former life.Sebastian must descend into one of their terrible creations, the disturbing world of Union. Horrifying threats emerge from every corner & he must rely on his wits to survive. For his last chance at redemption, the only way out is in.Timelord Thoughts.'The Evil Within 2' is a awesome survival horror third person shooter that is a tense, terrifying experience, I'll admit I was scared myself at times playing this game which is drenched in blood soaked gore, features some grotesque creatures & weird characters (like the psycho photographer) enhanced by some unnerving eerie moody sound effects that conjures up a bleak nightmarish atmosphere.This sequel is set 3 years on from the original game as you once again play as Detective Sebastian Castellanos a washed up cop who discovers his daughter is actually still alive & trapped inside a virtual world called Union & is forcibly recruited by a mysterious organization called Mobius & thrust back into the “STEM” system to save his daughter & battle against the hoards of townsfolk who have begun transforming into hideous monsters & zombies.This sequel is more a semi style open world than the originals linear path so you can search around the town at your own leisure looking for weapons & crafting materials, I prefered this style of mapping & the deserted locations add to the creepy atmosphere were monsters can jump out at you anytime so stay alert.The graphics are impressive, crisp, clear & vibrant that capture a moody grindhouse look & the storyline is given a far better narrative that builds upon the characters story arcs of the first game but puts Sebastian at the forefront of the action so this sequel feels more his personal story that's rich with drama & emotion.The controls are easy enough to grasp & there's lockers filled with various supples while the refined upgrade system is a vast improvement on the original game, there's various characters you'll encounter who will either help or hinder you & with 17 chapters this game provides a solid 15/20 hour campaign that gives a decent difficulty challenge.Flaws? Only a couple, there's the occasional clash detection, I killed a creature but half of his body popped through a wall so I was unable to loot him & some bosses you simply can't fight back against, so if they grab you then there's no escape, your dead, this was a little annoying as the games premise is on survival horror not running away & hiding, another slight niggle is the limited supply of ammo, crafting at workstations uses less materials than manual crafting so make sure you choose which bullets & bolts to stock upon your survival may depend on it.Overall, 'The Evil Within 2 is a terrifying challenging survival horror that provides plenty of action & gore galore which will certainly appeal to the gorehounds, if your fond of Resident Evil type games then I definitely recommend giving The Evil Within 2 a try.

Played the first one and clocked it and playing it again with the DLC,this sequel is even more exciting and excellent and also very challenging, gripping and mind-blowing

I am currently about half way through this game now and can't put it down. I loved the first game so much and was hoping to get a sequel even though alot of people didn't love the game. This game is a direct sequel to the original although the story is so well done you don't actually need to have played the first game to know what's happening in this one. The game retains alot of the original game play mechanics but has so much more depth in how you want to play the game. The crafting system and looking for resources really give the feel of survival horror. You can do as much or as little exploring as you want to gain more ammo, weapons, crafting parts etc. You can go in guns blazing (if you have the ammo) or be a stealth ninja. Each chapter has a main mission but there are side missions you can do for extra rewards if you want more goodies. There are 3 difficulties to choose from (casual, survivor, nightmare) and you can unlock a forth, classic. The game reminds me a lot of the last of us and there is no doubt they have borrowed alot of things from that game but that's no bad thing! Go buy this you won't be disappointed
