Surprisingly, I found The Evil Within 2 to be just as scary as the original. While the first game is a more relentless, claustrophobic horror experience, the sequel sets you loose in a series of rural open environments. A bunch of optional buildings and points of interest contain the high thrill scares you’d expect, but you can just tackle them at your own pace. Plus, some of the art on display is jaw-dropping, even if it’s not always as disturbing as the first game. Even in 2017, RPS’ review had tons of praise for Tango’s second outing as a studio. Olivia White said that it was a “surprisingly heartfelt and sincere tale” while still providing “a definitive, well produced classic survival horror experience.”
