Shinji Mikami is a legendary name in the survival horror genre and The Evil Within series marks his modern take on where the genre has headed. Impressively, The Evil Within 2 mildly improves upon its predecessor and even though the story occasionally struggles, it makes up for it with a never-ending assault of upsetting visuals. Gameplay gains greater depth with a stealth system that creates greater tension around these monsters. The enemy design for the Haunted and the other monsters that terrorize Sebastien are also somehow more intense than what’s present in the original game.
