On the higher difficulties it's a proper survival horror experience that challenges the player to manage precious resources, make every shot count, and fall through safe house doors gasping for breath. Unless you just want to steam through the game you should flick the difficulty up because without there's no tension or troubles. Follow this and by the end of Chapter 3 you should have at least a shotgun, laser-sighted pistol, sniper rifle and crossbow to hand. We've got a full list of every weapon in the game, from crude hand axe to pumping assault rifle. Whatever difficulty you're on, you want as many guns as possible to make use of the small amount of ammo knocking around. Hunt around for more weaponsĪ fairly hefty arsenal of weapons is open to you from Chapter 3 onwards if you know where to look. Grab the broken sniper rifle, find the parts to repair it and you become the hunter, able to pick off the bigger problems of Union from a distance. This is a multi-part mission but again you should do it early on. You'd be surprise at what the residents of Union throw away. You also need to scavenge parts - from trash cans, dumpsters, trucks and anything else that looks like a good hiding spot. When you first meet O'Neil push him for more info and he'll tell you where to find the Warden Crossbow, a unique weapon that enables different types of play, from stealth to explosions.

Crafting on the fly uses more resources and is not advised, so get back to safety rather than use up valuable resources. You can always run back here if you get low on health or to craft gear and weapons. Know your safe housesīefore you go out exploring Union, make sure you know where your nearest safe house is. Then when it does funnel you into danger, you're able go head-to-head with more in your pocket than a knife and a crappy pistol.įollow this advice to keep Sebastian alive long enough to find his missing daughter. You're free to explore many areas, run a few side quests, and if you take your time you can build up a pretty good defence against the tough enemies of The Evil Within 2 early on. The map of Union, the abandoned town featured in The Evil Within 2, is much bigger and wider than the previous game, which means you can control the pace more. Part stealth, part open world action game, The Evil Within 2 forces you to think differently about survival horror.
