Enemies and bosses dying from mere bullets and steel rods is a metaphor!! It's mental representation of the player's mind managing to defeat any obstacles and stay sane. Also the first game's story was very straight forward and fairly shallow at places.

ACG gawd dayum, I thought I am deaf. Then I thought it's kinda easter egg for prince of persia II. Then I thought you tried your loyal subscribers for attentiveness. I ended up thinking it's illuminati who hypnotized the whole world to think it's actually EVIL within instead of its real name ENEMY within, while it didn't affect you - the only person on the planet who wasn't hypnotized and the hole point of your channel is to hide hints so that people wake up. So you misspelled it very cleverly, like it's an accident... but it's not... ENEMY within = enemy is close = enemies are within the crowd = illuminati confirmed.

Bit late for this but you're right, this looks much sharper than the original and is just as detailed if not more, the difference is in the artistic decisions. Whereas the original went for a gritty and brutal style all the way, the sequel aims to be more clean. Also this one does run better. I have an 8th gen i5 4core, 8GB ddr4 and 1050ti and I just cannot get the original to run, at all. I have like 15-20fps regardless of settings. On the other hand the sequel runs at 1080p med/high settings at near cosntant 60fps. I don't know what they did with the first one but for me it's unplayable even though it should run just fine. For reference the only other game that has given me trouble is BFV with 64 players, that one I can only play on 32p servers as the doubled player amount messes my fps (may be due to ram, I think if I upgraded to 16gb it should work). Every other modern title runs like a charm on high settings/1080p

TheLWebb100 I agree. I actually hate open world games, depending on what type of game, the thing with open world games is there's a lot more code. That means it's going to have a lot of glitches and weird bugs. I haven't read much about the game because when I buy it because I don't want to be spoiled beforehand but the only way I could see this working as open world is if there were many many weapons or upgrades to said weapons only obtainable via going out of your way to do a side quest. I enjoy linear games a lot more. Especially when they are games like this. This one is meant to be linear, imo. I enjoyed the first one however so I will be getting it... then again the south park game is coming out when I get paid. Considering the first South park was so lengthy it might be worth my money, more so than this.

A great game that benefited from the polish of not having to waste time on open world nonsense. Same with Last of Us.

What I also hate about EW2 by looking at it, it doesn't even had a dynamic color palette. Evil Within's barn section had this Saturated Color pallete, then the mansion focuses low contrast, then asylum focuses on saturating one color to emphasize each terror, then the catacombs focuses on the brown making it feel like an old painting as that section is in fact old. EW2 feels like they only used 1 color palette for every section.

I agree with your opinion over the change of look. The last evil within felt more authentic with the artistic style making every scene look like almost like a painting. They changed the art style, looks more modern. I will absolutely love this addition, just the first will probably still be my favorite because of the overall look and feel of the game which doesnt feel as modern as this one. Like even the way he looks in the first is so much cooler than how he looks now which is just modern. I loved that white shirt loose tie look.

As a person who has played EW1, and completed EW2 on Nightmare difficulty(easily), I agree open world damaged 1st game's unique and mostly(delibaretely or not but it worked) disconnected atmopshere. The fact that you can make your self seen to Lost(zombies) and run away, then they backpedal their scripted location and route completely misses the point. Even bosses has that backpedaling. First game had narrow corridors and very little open areas that you can escape. The zombies were running after you literally so they were more dangereous technically. For me there was only 1 difficult boss fight. Others are easy and not time consuming. Very little boss encounters. Perhaps it is known now you are in Stem removing 1st game's mystery but there are more elements than this to contribute aforementioned. You become pretty powerful after some upgrades to Sebastian and weapons. In EW1 some chapters were pretty major and hard. There is only 1 maybe 2 difficult encounters apart from boss fights and they never spread to entire chapter giving a hard time isolating as a special chapter. Furthermore there is no match burning corpses( albeit poorly implemented in the 1st), no traps, no hiding in closets or under bed. Fact that you can craft ammo on the go breaks difficulty and tension. No real antogonist. However if finding new items, exploring, a concluded story, better technical aspects from the 1st game in every way, some good art direction in certain parts, more coherent chapters and location is your thing for the sequel then you might very well enjoy the EW2. Just dont expect the horror factor and secretive, mysterious atmosphere. I could say I was waiting much more..This type of story and game doesnt come up often.

Thank you as always for the depth and intelligence. I was really hopeful as I liked the original flaws and all. An I love Bethesda. Sounds like again the development team needs to focus more on story and less on getting this out quick. @ACG what percentage would you say of bad games or less then should/could of been games are not all they can be due to greed and being rushed? 50%? 75%? :(.

Finished it last week and i dont agree with karak at all on this one, maybe its because i actually liked parts of the first one, but The Evil Within 2 is one of the best games i've played this year, the story was incredible, they left nothing and went in 100%. The team has fixed nearly every flaw of the first one, the world has two big hub areas apart from the small environment, but things happen all the time, its filled with great story content.

Honestly I feel like the story was just fine in this game. It also focused a bit more on developing sebastians character than the 1st game did.

honestly it feels alot like silent hill and the last of us, I personally love the clunky feel to the character and the simple yet satisfying stealth mechanics, it's a straight upgrade to the original which is rare for a sequel these days, I havnt beaten it yet and I've only played for about 4 hours now but I have to say if youve got the spare €70 you should definitely pick it up or if you're not big into the clunky resident Evil/silent hill type of gameplay just wait for a sale but I definitely think everyone should give this game a go because its the first game I've bought in a long time where I've said to myself wow this is actually pretty fun

20$ on PSN. Downloading as soon as direct deposit cashes in, it's rare to see 60$ games dropped so low. I avoided it at first, thinking I didn't want an open world Evil Within. I really like the structured feel of games like the first one, Silent Hill or Resident Evil, but after replaying E.W. today, my preferred stealth approach to conserve ammo might be better in an open world setting, more than I thought initially. Makes me think of MGS5, I never asked for an open world MGS game, but when I saw the potential I preordered right away and was playing it exactly midnight when it released. I'm hoping open world Evil Within can up encounters much like MGS5 did

Hey Karrak big fan, love your reviews watched all of em since gtaV. Not sure if these are spoilers but “17 chapters” and “brass knuckles you unlock at the end” sure sound like spoilers. Maybe I’m wrong and they tell you that from the begging? please try not to spoil, but other than that keep up the great work! Thnanks

MR C I wouldn’t call “17 chapters” or the weapon you get spoilers because he didn’t say anything about what happens in every chapter. If anything it tells you about the amount of story missions in the game to see if it’s worth the money or not

sorry to reply but i just feel like I need to defend this game. I just finish the game last night and it was one of the best game that I ever played. I played it on nightmare difficulty and I did felt the tension, the struggles of the main character and the ending is superb. this game has different small open areas so i did not felt it as repetitive. I don't know I just feel sad because not just ACG but other reviewers does not like it unlike other youtubers who do walkthrough of this game like Markiplier, radbrad, christopherodd etc etc, they like this game. Maybe because they do not need to rush it or maybe we just have similar taste on games. I don't know.

if you enjoyed it thats good but tbh you fight the same zombies over and over in the same area it needed at least 20 times more enemeny types and 20 times less enemy numbers in smaller more detailed areas just like the first game but who can blame the devs because why make a creepy graveyard or an old temple full of traps when you can easily make a generic street with cars to hide behind

Most of the people before the release: "Shadow of War is gonna be shit, it has micro transactions, I am going for Evil Within 2 instead!". It seems like Evil Within 2 is not that great and I got a feeling Shadow of War is not that bad, as always thanks for a great review Karak.
