GameSpewRichard SeagraveOct 2017100/1002017 has been a great year for games, but for me, The Evil Within 2 has been one of the most pleasant surprises. It's a fine example of how a sequel should be done; taking what worked and made the original such a memorable experience while building upon it and stripping out the fat.

Game RantDalton CooperOct 20174.5/5 starsThe Evil Within 2 is a significant step forward from the first game in the series, providing tighter controls, a more focused narrative, and no shortage of scares.

PolygonPhilip KollarOct 20179/10It's a brilliant horror game, one that understands when to ratchet up tension and when to pull back and let you collect yourself. If the first game was a failed attempt to capture the spirit of Shinji Mikami's classic Resident Evil 4, the sequel is a successful attempt at something much better: finding a chilling, exhilarating voice of its own.

Metro GameCentralOct 20174/10A worse game than the already flawed original, whose poorly crafted action is as ineffective as its clichéd attempts at horror.
