The Evil Within 2 is pretty great.

Incredibly trippy atmosphere with environments constantly shifting around you, Twin Peaks/Silent Hill kinda vibe, gameplay I've heard compared to that of old RE games (never played them personally so couldn't say), great freaky villains (first one in particular is amazing), pretty good experience overall especially for a game I didn't really expect anything of or even cared about a week ago.

Be prepared though, it's a direct sequel. I actually bought it assuming it wasn't because I watched half an hour of a Let's Play and it started off with a very standaloney vibe. Also the fact that the main character is named "Sebastian Castellanos" somehow made me immediately assume he was a one-off.

The game also has some definite flaws but nothing too bad imo. Aiming well is half the difficulty and the melee combat has all the grace of Silent Hill 2. The story and main cast are also pretty average, it's really exploring the world itself that is really fun.
