Where did people find the audacity to tell me this was better in terms of gameplay? It's better in terms of literally nothing. And who the hell are these voice actors? Tatiana's sounds truly woeful. Every time I hear anyone speak I'm in pain.

      When I played the first game I was so close of uninstall because of how janky the controls were but the story and atmosphere kept me going to the point were I freaking loved the game.
      The second game just misses the mark, the only good part it had was Stephano (like anon said, should have been the main villain but instead we got a generic fire magic guy).

    heard they removed the letterboxing since then, but frick me, first impressions are everything

    Evil Wihin 2, 7+/10
    a pretty good survival horror with a nice story and really good ending
    if the enemy ai and combat were better it would be even better
    its biggest flaw is how easy it is to break the combat, it could have been an easy 9/10 if combat was bit better

    When that artist motherfricker set up a trap I thought it was a replay like in his other art works. As the Hysteric was running at me I was mesmerized by the slo-mo and effects. Only at the last second I realized what was going on and frantically I pulled out my gun to shoot and miss half of them. Just barely did I manage to get her down. That was a kino moment tbh. I think it's kind of a generic game, but has some really interesting moments here and there. Overall I quite enjoyed it.

    1 is just a cooler game. First game is some schizo nightmare shooter with minimal dialogue and story. meanwhile the 2nd game starts off with a ton of exposition and the story is a lot more in your face. 2nd game has that open world survival aspect with skill trees that a lot of people like but I think the actual shooting is somehow worse and less satisfying than the first game.
