A new update has been released today for The Evil Within 2, the second entry in the series developed by Tango Softworks.
The new update, update 1.02, is only available on consoles as of now and it introduces Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro support. Specifically, the update adds the ability to play the game at a higher resolution and unlocked frame rate on either console.
The Evil Within 2 is a very good game with a lot of tension, despite not being as scary as the best survival horror games ever released.
As a horror game, I’m not sure The Evil Within 2 could stand up on its own. With the occasional jump scare and some good direction you might get the right tone once in a while, but for the most part the game fails to deliver on the overall sense of horror. Behind that, though, is a great game with interesting enemies, a story that makes no sense but doesn’t need to and some really good piece of imaginative art design. It’s probably better that it’s less scary, the game will hopefully find a home for people looking for something on the borders of scary rather than just those few hardcore horror fans.
The Evil Within 2 is now available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
