'The Evil Within 2' Review: On The Game's Failures and Successes
"The Evil Within 2" is one of the most highly anticipated sequels for the year. Released last Oct. 13, fans are eager to know if game developer Tango Gameworks was able to refine its flaws from the original release.
Aside from aptly releasing it on Friday the 13th, many are questioning if there is anything else about the game that the developers did right. Less than 24 hours later, here are what the critics have to say about "The Evil Within 2."
Hardcore Gamer specifically pointed out that Tango Gameworks should have spent more time refining the technicalities of the game. Aside from the blood, gore, and horror, another thing that stands out in "The Evil Within 2" is the bugs that cause some background elements to loop.

Furthermore, the animation is not quite up to par, and it slightly takes away from possible complexity of the experience. Other than the technical flaws of "The Evil Within 2," the visuals and design of the game title are factors that gamers might want to see.
On the other hand, GameSpot commends the developers for the fact that they paid ample respect to the horror genre, by making multiple references. Furthermore, though "The Evil Within 2" does not offer nothing new in the genre, Tango Gameworks was able to keep it from feeling routinely and boring.
In the 15 hours of gameplay that it offers, the sequel is able to incite all the feelings and thoughts that one would associate to a horror game. But the one thing that redeems it despite its performance issues is the conclusion of the sequel, which is bound to make a lasting impression on gamers.
"The Evil Within 2" was published by Bethesda Softworks. It is a third-person survival horror video game, and it is now available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC.
