Why not both? Both are cheap these days.
AhhhhahahaI recently bought The Evil Within 2, and if you buy it, we can be twins
Both. On black friday they will.both be cheap.
I hadn't played 2 yet, waiting for bf. I played 7 and loved it, except for the last 30 minutes because it did it's best to ruin the rest of the game.
TEW2 IMO. RE7 is more polished but kind of basic in its gameplay. TEW2 offers more enemy and weapon variety, better stealth, combat, bosses, story, and a better protagonist. RE7 has better villains and is scarier (other than one enemy in TEW2 which is the scariest thing I've seen in a horror game in some time). I'd say TEW2 beats out RE7 in replayability (RE7 is insanely linear, though it does have a solid amount of weapon/item unlocks that lend to some solid replayability) too. Also, 3rd person is better than first IMO.
That said, get both. These along with RE2 and Alien Isolation were the best horror games this gen. If you haven't played AI or RE2, consider getting either of those first.
EDIT: Actually, IF you have VR, go RE7. That is a one of a kind horror experience. Otherwise, TEW2.
Oh? What happened (I don’t mind spoilers if ya need to use em to explain)
In that case, definitely TEW2. RE7 is similar to RE2 in terms of puzzles. The combat is worse IMO, though boss fights can be kind of cool. Normal enemies are tedious/annoying more than anything. TEW2 has no puzzles that I can remember, and better combat (not to mention tons of it, with better bosses and enemy mobs to boot).I owned and played RE2, and liked it, but wanted a few LESS puzzles. I prefer stealth and killing shit over running back and forth solving puzzles.
With that said, which would you recommend?
Again, I have, and like RE2 (the new remake), but I admit that I get a little bit tired of the puzzles (running back-and-forth to find a part here and there). I know that’s what makes a Resident Evil game a Resident Evil game, so it’s my problem, not the game
Alien: Isolation.
YesI assume you played the first Evil Within then? Otherwise I would recommend that first, because it's the better game than EW2 and perhaps even RE7.
RE7. It's way more creepier and uneasy. I got so hoooed i got a platinum trophy and finished it 4 times. TEW felt like a poor mans Last of Us with some flamboyant supernatural mumbo jumbo. Its not a bad game but extremely average one.
