At the end of the day, Bethesda is a business. It includes games like Fallout series, a hint of Silent Hill, a touch of Resident Evil, a lot of Dead Space, and obviously The Last of Us. EW2 feels like many different games combined. Story wise, EW2 is a lot less puzzling (linear) and a lot more drama compared to EW1. He emphasized it more on the story than on the action (combat). He made EW2 a semi-open world game which completely changed the identity of the game. He overhauled over 80% of the original design and installed his own new ideas.

EW2 is not directed by Mikami rather by Johanas (he directed EW1 DLC). Even though EW1 is my favorite, I won't bash EW2 with negativity since there are people who might enjoy or prefer the sequel.

It sacrificed a lot of its original concepts from the prequel to appeal to wider audiences. It came out almost like a brand new title rather than following the path of the original game. It came out almost like a brand new title rather than The Evil Within 2 is a slightly above average horror game with pretty looking graphics. The Evil Within 2 is a slightly above average horror game with pretty looking graphics. Terrific art design and well acted voice work even though they replaced the actor for the main character. An obvious upgrade over the first which I played on ps3. But besides being so damn derivative of RE4 and The Matrix at least it's really well polished, plays well, and is a bunch of fun. Then the top dog of Mobius is an agent Smith rip off and he has a bunch of agent goons. The fact that you know from the get go that you're in some sort of matrix like machine takes away much of the horror and intrigue from the first. God it feels like every single game has that. The giant, immobile boss that's fixed to the background. The final boss in The Evil Within 2 is one my least favorite video game clichés of all time. The first one was scarier and more memorable with better creature designs.

They're not even pretending it's anything different this time around. Story wise you're a law enforcement agent that's sent to a mysterious, creepy, zombie filled world to rescue a girl. This one somehow felt even more like a rip off of Resident Evil 4. Unlike movies, the sequel is usually better. Usually that's not the case in video games. This one Have to say I liked the first one more.
