After the success survival horror experience of the first, Bethesda is releasing The Evil Within 2 later this year. Directed by industry legend Shinji Mikami, the early trailers show an equally tense experience that looks to take things even further. Here's my opinion on - Why The Evil Within 2 is Everything We Wanted This Year.
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.

My PC is ready for a 4K horror experience in 60fps
Very stoked for this one, need to keep the horror genre alive
True.
Seems like most horror games these days lean towards the player being a bit underpowered or having no weapons at all, I hope this one gives you a decent range of guns and ammo like the first game and lots of weird s**t to shoot at. And occasionally run away from in a blind panic.
