After years of slowly morphing into action games, the survival horror genre has been getting back to its scary roots lately, first with Resident Evil 7 biohazard, and now with The Evil Within 2 (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC), a third-person psychological fright-fest that really does have you trying to survive a horrible situation (and is a slight but noticeable improvement over its predecessor).
With less than a month until they release The Evil Within 2 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on October 13th (or the 19th if you live in Japan), the good people at Tango Gameworks and Bethesda Softworks held an event at The Holding Company in Los Angeles where they gave journalists an opportunity to play a previously unseen section of the game. What follows is my time with the game.
As you might expect, spoilers follow. Scary spoilers…
