Should I play Evil Within 2 before 1?

You can play The Evil Within 2 first as it explains its premise well, but it's highly recommended to play The Evil Within 1 first for the full impact of the story, character development (especially for protagonist Sebastian), and to fully appreciate the sequel's emotional weight and callbacks, even if the first game is more challenging or less refined gameplay-wise.
