Lots to explore
Good graphics
Great sound design
Confusing story
Unoriginal to original
Too messy to replay
By comparison, the first Evil Within game was MUCH scarier all the way through. This started off with horror elements much like P.T. or Silent Hill, but then the story sort of devolved into a clone of Resident Evil 4, in more ways than one. It expanded on the options you had (side missions, shooting gallery, etc), but lost some of the terror filled sequences the original had. It was noticeably easier on pretty much every level, but was fun none the less.
