The Evil Within 2 offers more interesting gameplay than the first one, with open world sections to explore and many optional activities to do. (metacritic.com)
I've been playing for approaching 12 - hours now and haven't even moved past the Hinterlands which is the first proper open world section of the game. (thereticule.com)
Outside of the narrative, Dimensions also features large, open world sections dedicated to each franchise, and all you need is a character from that franchise to unlock it (that means with the starter pack, you have The Lord of the Rings, DC Universe, and LEGO Movie open worlds already unlocked).
