Plays a bit better but has less soul. Kinda like going from No More Heroes to Desperate Struggle, except that game took out the open world and TEW2 added one in.

Cmon, Desperate Struggle was way better than this.

TEW 2 has a good start but it totally drops the ball at half time, like they ran out of time and just said: Fuck it, just ship it.
The boss rush at the end is cool though

Feels like a Last of us fanboy made it instead.

Much more importance on story, father/daughter focus, stealth is a bigger part of the game, movement is also more similar to TLOU with Sebastian able to strafe and run backwards instead of the jerky turns he had in EW1. Also much easier game. You'll still have fun but what said.

The main reason I like The Evil Within so much is that it has an atmosphere that I simply cannot feel comfortable in at any moment. Like i'm in a nightmare and death can occur any second.

Does TEW2 share this quality?

Ha, no. TEW2 is much more grounded, going so far as to even try to explain the inner workings of STEM. We're talking its maintenance tunnels, literally. It's still kinda weird but the first is a completely different level of off the wall.

No not really. The open world segments and knowing you're in STEM and Kidman is able to chat with you via a communicator ruins the feeling. There are some neat surprises in those open world parts on a first playthrough though

So many issues that the first one didn't have. The first one was a good, if flawed, survival horror with satisfying weapons and interesting environments. It was a linear game with plenty of good moments and setpieces. It was also actually scary sometimes.

The second game is like the Dead Space 3 of the series. No interesting trap rooms, linearity removed in favor of a semi-open world that adds nothing to the experience and ruins any chance of balancing that survival horror games are built on (ie - resource management), and the weapons suck. The crossbow in particular just blows ass in the second game whereas in the first it was what I pulled out when I needed something to die yesterday.

The story in the second game exists, but I think the bizarre not-story of the first where you were stumbling through a nightmare world looking for an autistic man was better than going into the matrix to find your daughter.

It felt like the second game was made by someone else, with no passion. I was really disappointed.

Better in almost every way. The first is scarier, slightly worse atmosphere, but thats literally it. I played 2 right after beating 1. 2nd is wayy less clunky, open world parts are fun, no bullshit traps or instant kill enemies. Solid 8/10.

One of the problems with TEW2 is that the basic enemies, though pretty horrifying, all follow a lot of basic bitch rules that make them easy to identify; especially the ones playing dead on the ground. It gets to the point that if you know you have an objective to deal with, you can do bullet math on enemies who will literally sit on the ground until you shoot them or activate the objective.

I never was that comfortable in TEW; instead I was spending most of my time going for knockdowns and lighting dudes on fire for ammo economy. You don't have matches in TEW2, so that's not a thing.

More of a straight forward action game that let you play how you wanted. Stealth is more fleshed out for combat but it degraded the AI. You can craft whatever ammo you want but that means picking up gunpowder and trash 90% of the time. Enemy variety could be better like the first. I actually really like how it builds of TEW1's story though it's not nearly as horror.

The 2nd half of the first evil within is the stupidest shit I've played in my life. Its like they ran out of ideas and money and had to turn the game into an extremely low budget 3rd person shooter. Saying the second game is worse is just retarded.

It has a more shallow and unbalanced combat mechanics than 1. Evil Within 1 focused on the villian really well but 2 tries to focus on Seb while having 3 villians which results in unengaging fights. 1 also has better bosses and enemies.

The first game has flaws but at least it was a passable Resident Evil knockoff. The second just had no soul and sacrificed a lot by opening things up. The first game is a 7.5. The second game is a 6.

Better gameplay, less atmosphere.

I played the first game for 20 mins and uninstalled.

When is The Evil Within 3 coming?

It opens up but leads into linear areas. I'd say it has just as many linear area sections as the first game did. I loved certain parts of tew1 but most of it was pretty bad. I loved parts of tew2 and most of it was okay. (And it actually has a decent story). There's just nothing tew1 does better than tew2.

I don't think you engaged with it the right way if you think its a bad TPS. It's a pretty great RE4 style horror game.
