During PlayStation Live with Bethesda Head of PR Pete Hines and John Johanas – Game Designer with Tango Gameworks, we get our first glimpse (albeit a small one) at gameplay for the sequel to Shinjo Mikami's 2014 survival horror romp.
The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.
An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.
I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.
Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.
To celebrate Halloween, Fanatical has launched its 'Frightmare' bundle, which offers a big collection of Steam Deck-friendly games.

Love Shinjo Mikami horror games
So juiced for this game! I stopped the first at about Chapter 11, but restarted it when they removed the black bars. Idk what was really different about my first and second experience, but I couldn't stop playing it when I went back to it. Everything clicked for me, not to say there weren't things I thought could be better mechanically.
I am going totally dark on this baby.
