Imported from my Backloggery:
The Evil Within 2 is so close to greatness. At points, the survival horror elements really shine, with expertly done ammo scarcity and shooting mechanics. Sadly, those mechanics unravel as the game goes on, with the introduction of the fire monsters and increased prevalence of shooting galleries. The art direction for the most part is superb, with some really evocative set pieces and environments. The story however, leaves a lot to be desired. Sebastian as well as the story become generic.
