Game Informer 'southward Suriel Vazquez awarded the game a seven.75/10, stating that "The Evil Inside 2 is a solid horror game that expands the scope of the serial to extend out of the shadow of a titan in the horror genre, even if it sometimes leans heavily on borrowed ideas. Its progression and difficulty curve create a satisfying loop that repays resourcefulness and strategy, only its set pieces and structure don't build plenty on the many ideas they borrow to make them feel new or interesting. The result is a ride that offers some fun thrills in the moment, only I don't think I'll lose likewise much sleep over these particular nightmares."[20]

However, in that location'south plenty tucked away in The Evil Within ii that will entreatment to both fans of the original and new players, with information technology presenting a mix of Mikami'due south best ideas and John Johanas' new direction.

Coming in at a lengthy and surprisingly packed 15-hour campaign, the sequel does an admirable job of ratcheting up the tension and scares when it needs to, while also giving y'all the liberty to explore and proceed how you want. It'south a tough matter to residue, just The Evil Inside 2 does it remarkably well, and in a manner that leaves a stiff and lasting impression after its touching conclusion."[22]
