Not as good as TEW. It’s made by Johanas and has less detailed polish such as you cannot shoot ravens which Mikami added as hommage to RE4, HOWEVER in the intro there is a BANANA on a tray which is a RE4-reference (the Merchant in the cave in the lake). That is the best thing with TEW2.
- Semi-open world with markers on a map. Nice idea but it doesn’t work well and they should have spent time just creating great designed levels with good pacing.
- No traps or matches
- Too easy
- Less cool characters and changed worse character design. Dialogues lacking.
- Boring UE4 graphics with Fortnite-style town in the first level
+ A few cool bosses (Obscura and maybe The Harbinger flamethrower guy is actually an unused idea Ikumi made for TEW)
+ better engine for 60fps but on PS4 Pro/PS5 you get locked 30fps in TEW and the 30fps adds much to the horror (and I’m someone who can’t stand 30fps usually)

I wish Johanas well and think he did a great job for coming from outside producing this game. It’s very well made, although I prefer the original. Johanas can make great cinematographical games and I would love him to create some kind of walking sim indie game.
