Message: [QUOTE="leikeylosh, post: 323309, member: 1615"] LOL to the crazy user who gave The Evil Within 2 a 3/10. Completely clueless about gaming. Evil Within 2 is an improvement over the first game on every aspect. Better inventory system, better skill progression, better weapon handling, more personal and cohesive story and also better performance (and no forced letterbox aspect at launch like the first game). Yes, maybe the villain was underwhelming and the "final fight with a huge monster" was cliche but it leads to an emotional and satisfying ending. The art direction and atmosphere of the first few minutes alone shows a far superior product. (Plus they made an awesome cover of "Ordinary World" by Duran Duran which is played in the credits) There are 2 boss battles which are callbacks to bosses from the first game which I think were unnecessary but they are quick so that's not a huge issue. And also I don't understand the criticism towards the "open world" aspect since the area is not that big and it was beneficial to the game in my opinion. It's also present on only one section of the game, after that it becomes linear again. Unfortunately sales were below Capcom's expectations at the time. The developer Tango Gameworks was later sold to Microsoft in 2021 and closed by them last year, only to be bought by Krafton this year. So in theory we could still have a third installment but chances are slim which is a shame. [/QUOTE]
