  G弦上的咏叹调真好听啊，仿佛来到了高级会员制餐厅，实际上是来到了高级脑内模拟世界。三上真司亲自指导的作品，还是一贯的高水准，作为一款线性恐怖游戏，值得与生化危机系列相提并论。

THE UNIQUES: 💎Finding new ways to die. 💎Well thought out monsters. 💎Brutal scenes. PLAYER GAMING REQUIREMENTS: 💼Psychological Horror. 💼Dark. 💼Survival. VERDICT: Evil Within is so brutally horrifying that I needed to see almost every death, just to scar myself further! Sebastian should be in a stray jacket and thrown into the psych ward (See what I did there?) after seeing the things he saw. The selling point to this game would be how creative they got with the things that lurk in the dark and how deep the story gets, some of you may get confused due to how long it takes to get to the main plot but playing the DLC's help out a TON. Another big point is of course the gameplay, even if Sebastian can't hit a thing because he's an alcoholic, hiding and throwing bottles to creep past monsters is a ton of fun and probably the best tactic in most cases. Sure, if you've got the ammo, blast your way through but be prepared to miss your shots. Total Score = 87/100 GAMEPLAY: The game centers on protagonist Sebastian Castellanos as he is pulled through a distorted world full of nightmarish locations and horrid creatures. Played in a third-person perspective, players battle disfigured nightmare-like enemies, including bosses, using guns and melee weapons, and progress through the levels, avoiding traps, using stealth, and finding collectables.

  A civil engineer with a brain tumor lashes out at the world years after the burning passion between him and his sister comes to a shrieking halt. After receiving reports of a mass murder, Jonathan Brandis and his two partners are sent to a hospital to investigate the psychotic weaboo’s endeavors. Can they determine the engineer’s mission and break free from the shackles of unreality before he is able to kill more people in their nightmares, or, at the very least, prevent the invasion of Zion? What will happen to the president’s daughter? Sneak, burn, run, hide, disarm, die, and wonder what the hell is going on for 15 schizophrenic chapters to find out. The Good: <*>The game has a strange tone and atmosphere to it that don’t really feel like anything else. <*>AKUMU mode. If you so much as get tapped on the shoulder by an enemy, you die. Kim’s DLC has KURAYAMI mode which turns out all the lights so everything is pitch black. <*>There are things in the game world that make more sense as you progress in the story. It’s an interesting touch. <*>I went for 100% in this game, and it didn’t really feel like a chore doing it (even the no upgrades run). Like a certain other survival horror series, replaying it was fun. It helps that the game doesn’t really feel like it drags anywhere. <*>Remember in Bioshock how you would prepare a little killbox for a Big Daddy before you initiated a fight with him? You’d shoot a few trap bolts here, put proximity mines there. There are moments that are definitely reminiscent of that, and I don’t see how killboxing enemies isn’t a positive. <*>There are times where you can go stealth, but you don’t have to. <*>Body-burning simulator. <*>The DLC actually improves the story and gives more insight into what’s going on. <*>Tense and sometimes unnerving soundtrack by Masafumi Takada. The Neutral: <*>10 weapons: revolver, shotgun, sniper rifle, agony crossbow (harpoon, flash, freeze, shock, and explosive bolts), magnum, burst handgun, HP Sniper, brass knuckles, machine gun, and RPG. <*>15 chapters. <*>It’s survival horror, but you don’t manage resources the way you do in other titles in that genre. Don’t expect to shift your inventory around and manage it so you have 800 shotgun shells and nothing else. The Bad: <*>I had an issue with the mouse sensitivity resetting every time I booted up the game. Setting the right config file to read only solved the issue. <*>There can be FOV issues with the game, but Flawless Widescreen will fix that. <*>The targeting system for melee will sometimes cause you to kick corpses instead of a threat that’s right in front of you. <*>Only parts of cutscenes are skippable, so you’ll have to put up with a little bit of that on repeat playthroughs. <*>People who pre-ordered got access to 2 bolt types (poison and incendiary) and a double-barreled shotgun. Pro Tips: <*>If you’re wondering why you can burn bodies, it’s not because they come back to life like crimson heads in Resident Evil. <*>Tap fire once with the pistol equipped to run faster in water you’d normally wade through. <*>Play the crow minigame to farm gel. It unlocks after you complete the game. <*>The last locker has 200k gel. <*>You can unlock a few extra weapons: machine gun and RPG (complete the game), burst pistol and high-powered sniper rifle (get all map pieces), and brass knuckles (beat the game on nightmare). <*>Aim your weapon to move faster during segments where you’re forced to walk slowly. If you go into this expecting it to be a Resident Evil clone, you’re going to be dissatisfied. If you expect it to be vaguely similar to it, and to have a schizophrenic campaign, then good for you, pal. I’d say it’s worth it and to get the DLCs.

  The most normal mental hospital in Ohio

  Before the actual review. The devs finally added framerate cap and letterboxing options. Enabling console doesn't prevent you from getting achievements anymore. While these options should've been there from the beginning it's nice to see that these issues have been addressed. Actual review. I'll keep it semi-short, I don't want it to be bloated. Story spoiler-free. Short introductions. The Evil Within (TEW) is an oldschool survivor horror game with semi-tanky controls. If you'd ask me which games does TEW remind me of then I'd say Silent Hill, Resident Evil 4, Outlast and Alone in the Dark. If you ever played any Silent Hill title then you'll notice the familiar dirty, rust and blood covered dilapidated locations, scary mental hospital with beds and wheelchairs all over the place. The game is medium paced, which is good and bad at the same time. It's good because it doesn't get boring. it's bad because it decreases the horror factor. Puzzles are there, but really scarce and simple. The visuals. The game has some really nice lighting, reflections, shaders, particles, post processing effects and dynamic shadows. Depth of field and film grain make a really good combo here and add a lot to the experience. The locations are well made, a lot of attention to the detail, even though there are some cheap visual solutions (like 2D rock textures on water). The polygon count on most of the objects is medium, texture quality is mediocre at best. The worst textures I've noticed were the beginning (the city) and mostly rubble, no notable HD textures. City destruction is nicely looking, but is entirely scripted. Most of the animations are smooth, jerky ones have been fixed in the first patch. The enemy types. This contains some partial spoilers. Throughout the game you'll be greeted with different types of zombies (Haunted) and their sub-mutations. Just like in Resident Evil 4 you stumble upon angry villagers. Some of them will attack you with bare hands, some of them use torches, knives, hammers, sickles, molotovs and even crossbow, guns and sniper rifles. Notable mutations: invisible zombies (barely visible, fully visible on hit), two headed monsters with a surprise (AlterEgo). There are also mini-bosses and actual bosses. The combat, mechanics and AI. Many people mentioned that it's like RE4 on steroids. Semi-tanky controls, you can't dodge or counter. If you get hit you're usually given time to recover and fall back. Unless it's an instakill attack. Oh yes, there are plenty of enemies in this game that can instantly kill you. But unlike in RE4 you can actually move while you aim and now you have the option to use stealth. You can sprint (uses stamina), run and duckwalk. You can't shoot while you're duckwalking as it's meant for stealth kills (you sneak up behind enemies) and trap disarms. There are two types of traps: hidden ones that can be simply disarmed by holding the button (bear traps, string triggered dynamite, etc) and more obvious, but dangerous sticky bombs. You disarm them by pressing the button at the right time, otherwise it explodes. Each trap gives you crafting material. Check weapons sections for more about that. If you accidentally activate a trap then you can expect: small to high health loss or instant death. The game has RPG elements. Throughout the game you'll find green gel (that is used to upgrade various physical abilities and even weapon effects), ammo, materials, collectibles and matches. There's health regeneration. If your health drops below ~20HP then you'll be unable to sprint, but you're able to recover it back just by standing. Your melee consists of slapping and kicking enemies. Useful for finishing off or pushing away zombie type enemies, but generally not recommended for more serious enemies. Stamina bar enables you to sprint. The default sprint time is around 3 seconds and when stamina is below 30% you slow down to usual speed. If it reaches 0 then you stop completely and catch your breath (completely vulnerable). You can upgrade your ammo capacity and weapon efficiency (damage, fire rate, reload times, accuracy, clip size, etc). Stealth is a nice addition (works only on Haunted). You sneak behind the enemies and instantly kill them. This works in following scenarios: a) the enemy is standing in one place; b) the enemy is patrolling back and forth. You have a lantern which is your own source of light. It really helps to see where are you going, makes you clearly see the traps but also gives away your position to the enemies. Making loud noises (slam open a door) also can catch enemy attention. Knowing that you can use glass bottles to either distract them or stun them by throwing the bottle against their head (after that you're given time to stealth kill them). Stealth killing is a nice way to conserve ammo and if you have the chance to do so - go for it. If you get spotted then you can deal with them the usual way. Enemy attack patterns are worth a mention. Most simple ones are punches (or swings with the weapons), kicks and dash attacks. Dash attacks of melee zombies are quite dangerous as they go into berserk mode and try to hit at least 3 times. Crossbow/gun enemies usually take time to aim at you and then shoot. Sniper rifle enemies hide behind cover and then take their time to shoot at you. Shooting a zombie in the knee usually makes them fall. All of the enemies are weak against fire. if you have matches then you can burn corpses (REmake style), hay or even downed still alive enemies (hence shooting in the knee). Igniting something will set on fire all nearby enemies. You'll stumble upon plenty of corpses throughout the game, some of them can be used to ignite other enemies. Some of them can become alive depending on your actions (so it may be wise to burn some before you pick up an item or activate a mechanism). The enemy AI is also mediocre and could've been better. As soon as they spot you they'll start moving or running towards you. Detection sometimes fails and they spot you when you're behind them, crouching. Sometimes they might get stuck, run in circles or simply charge at you and end up running against the wall. I've also seen some weird patrol patterns. Like I mentioned before loud noises alert them (be it doors or you stepping in a trap). To avoid direct confrontation you can either hide in closets or below beds and tables or use the traps against them. Most notable con is the big amount of enemy invulnerability frames (you shoot, but they don't react / take no damage). In some chapters you'll stumble upon your partner. Shouldn't be too problematic as you can heal your partner by just standing next to 'im and holding a button. No need to share your ammo either. Weapons. Semi-traditional Resident Evil layout. Handgun (revolver), shotgun, crossbow (with different bolts), sniper rifle, magnum, rocket launcher. Most are upgradable, crossbow is worth a special mention. You find different bolt types for it, after that you can craft them from materials gathered from the levels and traps. Bolt types: harpoon, proximity explosives, flashbang, electric shock, freeze and DLC ones. Useful in combination with other weapons. Due to character limit I'll have to wrap it up aka tl;dr version. TEW offers a nice oldschool survivor horror experience, the locations and atmosphere are nice, but it's far from perfect either. Some chapters are more action centered and the game becomes zombie slaying action game (like Resident Evil 4 Chapter 5 island parts). I don't think that arena style battles (especially against enemies with weapons) was a good idea either. There are cheap deaths, especially in escape sequences, but in the end even with all its flaws I would recommend the game as it's entertaining and fun to play. I couldn't fit in the full review, so ask me questions in the comments.

  I bought this game and the DLC without any prior knowledge, and I am not disappointed. Not only did this game give me a ton of playing time, but it was also very fun and entertaining. The Evil Within and it's DLC's is a story based game with many cutscenes, and I really liked that aspect since it makes following the story easy. The game is very unique and I can't wait to play the sequel. The only downsides were some moments got annoying and the third person aspect made it less scary. With all that aside it's definitely worth picking up, especially when it's on sale Rating: 9.2/10

  I want to like this game so badly because I've played and enjoyed other over-the-shoulder shooters like resident evil 4 and Dead Space. But there are just too many things wrong with this game for me to truly enjoy it. First of all the game feels very padded, to the point where a lot of the chapters add nothing to the overall story and feel more like a drag then a fun gaming experience. Second off the sheer amount of things that can one shot you is dreadful, there are so many instances of me dying instantly to an enemy due to some random bs that I had no idea about until my face had already been ripped off. Thirdly, the controls are awful, I don't expect amazing controls by any means from an over the shoulder game, but what I do expect is that when I put an input in for my character to do something, they actually do it instead of just standing there waiting to get eaten by another monster, this really only applies to using the action button but boy has it killed me many times. Lastly the story, I really dislike the way they tell the story because of how long it takes to gain any information on what the main point of the game even is. For the longest time I didn't even know what goal I was trying to achieve as I pushed through the levels. Alongside that it's hard to care about any of the characters in the game because you know virtually nothing about them except when you occasionally find one of your diaries lying about to tell you about the character your playing as. All in all this game left me feeling frustrated and upset, this game has so much potential but it just doesn't succeed on it. If you're interested in a game like this DON'T BUY IT, buy a good game like Resident Evil 4 or Dead Space. Overall 3/10
