The Evil Within 2 launched a year ago to very positive reviews, as
Resident Evil director Shinji Mikami (who stepped down and became game producer who supervised the game's development) clearly knows how to create strong visuals and dense astrosphere. The title has gotten a new update just in time for Halloween, letting you make the game as easy or difficult as you want.
First of all,
The Evil Within 2 Update Version 1.05 brings back the first game's hardest difficulty level named AKUMU (it means Nightmare in English). As you can guess, this mode makes
The Evil Within 2 much more challenging and taking any damage at all kills the protagonist instantly, regardless of health upgrades - including stepping into a burning oil spill. AKUMU is unlocked by completing the game once.
The latest update also introduces the option to turn on infinite stamina, super strength, and invincibility, basically making Sebastian a low-key superhero. Considering that
The Evil Within 2 is hard even on normal difficulty settings, the opportunity to make the experience a bit easier will definitely interest more casual players. Naturally, the update 1.05 fixes the biggest bugs and technical issues.
In The Evil Within 2, Sebastian Castellanos must once again confront unspeakable horrors within the nightmare born from the infamous STEM. This time, however, Sebastian’s mission is personal: He’s searching for his daughter Lily, who he thought he had lost many years ago, and it’s now a race against time as the world crumbles around him. Sebastian must rescue Lily before everything falls apart and they are both lost in STEM.
The Evil Within 2 released worldwide Friday the 13th, October 2017 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
