The first is great. Brillant game.
Mikami is the boss.

Second one was a huge dissapointment.

Matchstick is a throwaway mechanic.

What the actual fuck

I agree with this, I personally LOVED the first game but second game not so much and I hated the fact they didn't continue Ruvic's story and instead they went generic story of him looking for his daughter.

I adore The Evil Within 2, it's so good.

Evil Within gets better each time I replay it and better understand what it's going for. Mikami was a GOAT of designing gameplay scenarios that are built to serve the game mechanics. Like in how RE4, the combat is designed around the fact you can't move and shoot at the same time.

Evil Within 2 is more polished but loses some of the charm, too. It didn't feel as hellish and grimy as EW1.

Polarizing series. I enjoyed both entries, but prefer the first. My least favorite aspect was the far fetched storytelling. It was not the easiest to follow if i recall. Or just kinda dumb/too surreal.

First game was great, it was what a resident evil sequel could be, but with a smaller budget.

Second game flipped the franchise on its head and instead of RE/SH became TLOU.

Both games have their pros though as well as their own cons.
