The Evil Within 2 is one of those games that is so horrifying I really don’t want to play it. It is over-the-top gruesome, and no parent should let their child play this mature-rated video game unless you want the kid scarred for life. The imagery is so violent and scary that I figure I’ll have nightmares if I try to play it all the way through.
But it’s so well done. Its creators use plenty of cliché tricks from the horror genre, like big butcher knives, bloody messages on walls, monsters that are assembled from human body parts, dimly lit mansions where you can’t see what’s in the dark corners, and jump scares aplenty. Oddly enough, all of that adds up to an immersive horror experience. I can’t look away.
