justice for tango

If you are a fan of Resident Evil, Silent Hill or Parasite Eve series, The evil Within 2 will be straight out of your alley.

🎮¹　I prefer to use a controller here tho', except for the FPP.

👻²　Choose 'Nightmare' right away for the best atmosphere.

☠️³　Akumu-esque: no upgrades, 7x saves, no checkpoints



💸　　I'd strongly recommend to wait for a sale!

　 → the trade value on Steam is about 50% lower already




An almost perfectly functional first person view! Obviously the game is not designed for this perspective and should be enjoyed entirely in the classic third person view first of all. Still this turned out to be a lot of fun for a new run and is the coolest Easter egg I've ever seen.

To activate it you need to add "+com_allowconsole 1" to your TEW2 launch options. Once in-game hit 'insert' to open the console and then type in "pl_FPS 1". Ding! Have fun with RE8.


Tested with:

HD 1920x1080, 60fps / 4k 3840×2160, 30-60 fps
4K looked a bit sharper, but performed a lot worse
i7-7700K, 4 x 4.2 GHz; MSI GTX 1080 (8GB GDDR5X)
16GB DDR4 RAM; HDD / Samsung SSD 840 EVO
Settings: Ultra; lots of individual options available
Operating system: Windows 10 Professional, 64-Bit
Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless & PS4 Controller

One of the best horror games


At the beginning of the game, everything is really scary, just like the previous series

The NPCs are well designed
The game map is relatively good and you can find many sub-missions and items

The story of the wonderful game and connecting it to the first version

The graphics of the game are great compared to the year it was made

In general, the game is good in every way

No season pass, no day 1 dlc? No microtransactions to exploit the crafting and level up system... wat?

Great game. Please give us The Evil Within 3!

We Need Evil Within 3

I decided to write this review a bit early for those on the fence here on the day of release, but I plan to write a more proper review later once I've finished the game. So I've played this game for 9 & a half hours at this point, and barely just finished Chapter 4 (of 15+ chapters). First hour and a half was taking it slow and exploring around in the first two chapters, the next six & a half hours was Chapter 3 and doing EVERYTHING you could in the open world level, 30-45 minutes was committed to me doing the special shooting gallery minigames added to the Save Area once you reach Chapter 4 and getting all the rewards, and then the last 45-60 minutes was going through Chapter 4.

I should mention I'm playing on Nightmare difficulty, and playing with almost all my HUD off. Only things I kept on were my reticle, item pick-up info, and some stuff for later like partner health gauge. The game started off REALLY challenging on Nightmare, I was getting my ass handed to me during all of Chapter 2 and the start of Chapter 3, but I really got a handle of it. I managed to kill every single enemy in Chapter 3, mostly with stealth. Learned a few techniques. I explored every inch of Chapter 3, there is a LOT hidden in it. The side-quests are the obvious ones, but they've literally littered the town with so many interesting things off the beaten path. I'll get back to this.

There is so much I want to say, but I don't really know where to start. Firstly, as a horror enthusiast, this is a REALLY neat horror game. On paper and at first it seems pretty basic, but it slowly reveals it has a lot more up its sleeve. I want to say so much, but I also feel I shouldn't to keep most of it a surprise for others who decide to dig into it. All I'll say is if you don't explore Chapter 3 you're doing yourself a huge disservice, there's literally so many fun, interesting, and unique scenarios to find, and not even just in the side-quests. There's also 5 hidden levels of sorts which are worth finding and experiencing in my opinion among everything, and some do some neat things and touches in the game, like there's this ghost woman who if you do her side-quest will begin to haunt you through the whole game, but will not haunt you if you don't do the side-quest..

To be honest I wasn't really sure what to think of it all at first. Chapter 1 & 2 for a example while I was playing I wasn't quite sure what I thought of it, though in retrospective there was a lot of really cool moments, one of my favorites being when you look down a dark corridor with your flashlight and a giant strange black and white fuzzy eye is staring back at you, then blinks and disappears. The game has so many creative touches if you look around and interact with things. And I began to love it more and more as I played Chapter 3, at the start still uncertain but as I began to get into the groove of it I began to love it.

You can tell the team behind this are very passionate for horror and horror games and had a lot of fun making this, it's full of so many small touches everywhere, it's got so much love for other horror stuff. Chapter 2 is in many ways almost like some pseudo walking sim horror game like Layers of Fear is what it reminded me most of, then Chapter 3 experiments with all sorts of things all over the map, and Chapter 4 has some fun with a unique take on defenseless first-person horror, but with reasoning that makes more sense than usual. But things are paced well to not only keep you on your toes but keep things interesting, and feed well into each other so far.

Chapter 3 I think some people will have a gut reaction to dislike the open world chapter it is on principle and initial impressions, and to be honest I wasn't sure what to think at first myself, but it is incredibly unique and begins to become very immersive, interesting, and fun to explore as you go through it. It's NOT an empty open world by any means, literally every area is intentionally designed with no randomized features, and it's better for it. It's basically a giant horror amusement part with surprises tucked away into every corner, if you'll look for them, and a lot of twists and turns as you dig deeper into the overworld and a lot of interesting, fun, and tense scenarios packs into every area of the map almost.

Despite the fact I've played this game for nearly 10 hours now, I'm still fairly early in. There's a lot more I want to say but kind of also just want to discuss, and then plan to play a lot more tomorrow. I'm finding now that I'm done playing for now I can't stop thinking about this game. I feel like this game is a very different beast than the first game, I'm not sure everyone who loved the first game will love this one even and some people who didn't really like the first game may end up loving this (it still is tellable it's The Evil Within and made by the same team, but they have made some very bold decisions and tried some very different things design wise which kind of makes The Evil Within all at once reminds of several things, and yet feel rather unique on its own, kind of like the original game but in a completely different way).I can already tell this game is going to go on at the very least to become a cult classic with some sectors of horror fans, it's surprisingly unique in many ways and if you let it, it can really begin growing on you.
