While there are certainly callbacks and references to the first game that will enrich the experience for players that ventured into STEM the first time around, the game itself is coherent and self-contained enough that newcomers won’t be totally lost. Injecting a more personal storyline raises the stakes, and as the game progresses, each death serves a meaningful purpose towards Sebastian’s internal and external struggle. Unlike the first game, Sebastian feels like a full-fledged character in whom you can be personally invested, rather than a generic detective thwarting ambiguous evils. Stefano Valenti, the grotesque photographer, is only the beginning of Sebastian’s problems. “ The Evil Within 2 is a layered, story rich experience that transcends the typical definition of survival horror.”
