All leading up to a breathtaking conclusion that combines music and gameplay with emotional pressure.īoth Resident Evil 2 and The Evil Within 2 tell exceptionally well narratives but The Evil Within 2 is a step above Capcom's title.
Sebastion must encounter horrible monsters generated by the tormented and twisted minds of psychopathic killers. The Evil Within 2 is a complete story of a father doing whatever it takes to save his daughter.
It's an extremely elaborate adventure full of branching paths that combine for one single nightmarish night. You get to see Leon and Claire take different paths along with HUNK's recovery of the G-Virus and in February we'll see 3 more survivors who don't make it. Resident Evil 2 tells the same story from multiple perspectives. In a survival-horror game, maintaining that sense of fear is hard but Capcom has successfully done this with just common enemies.
This constant anxiety caused by the common enemies within Resident Evil 2 doesn't go away unlike The Evil Within 2. This is due to the game's upgrade system that gives the player more of an advantage to take on enemies, eliminating much of the stress of fighting them. Resident Evil 2 has a consistent sense of tension throughout with both killable and immortal enemies. The Evil Within 2 does have its share of disturbing creatures that send you into a panic like Stefano's Obscura or Anima but these enemies are limited to specific sections. The human enemies in The Evil Within 2, while unsettling and create unnerving situations, lack the tension created by many of the enemies in Resident Evil 2. The Tyrant, Lickers, and many other horrible creatures create chilling experiences throughout the game. The enemies in Resident Evil 2 lack this since most of them are mindless predators who say nothing and kill without mercy, but that works in the game's favor. Many of the major foes in The Evil Within 2 are humans, with characters like Stefano and Father Theodore pulling the strings. However, the humans of The Evil Within 2, as opposed to Resident Evil 2, provide a more enthralling adventure. The Lost act with a bit more coordination and planning whereas most of Resident Evil 2's monsters charge without a care in the world.
The creatures in The Evil Within 2 and Resident Eare radically different from one another. However, how does it compare to The Evil Within 2, the franchise started by the director of the very first Resident Evil Shinji Mikami? Does The Evil Within 2 toppled Resident Evil 2 2019 or did Capcom's latest game showcase why Resident Evil is known as the king of survival-horror? With 3 million copies shipped and over 1800 years worth of play time, a lot of gamers are enjoying Capcom's latest survival-horror title. Resident Evil 2 2019 recently released and it has been a smash hit.
