The Evil Within 2
(PS4, Xbox One, PC – Oct. 13)
October 2017 Games to Look Forward To
The Evil Within was a pleasant surprise when it released back in 2014. It was a time when horror games were reduced to nothing more than jump scares and the need to collect items while leaving the player completely defenseless. Shinji Mikami (the man who brought us Resident Evil) and his studio Tango Gameworks felt like it was time to bring the genre back to its roots, and that’s exactly what they did. Limited resources, powerful enemies, a dark, unsettling backdrop, and enough mind games to make you really question yourself while playing.
The Evil Within 2 is dialing the mind games up to 11 making the upcoming events even crazier and much more sinister. For players who like to be terrified even when they have a fully operational shotgun in their hands, this is a must-play. Also, it releases on Friday the 13th which adds to all the spookiness. Oh, and when you do start playing, don’t trust everything you see.
