Description

Developed by Shinji Mikami -- creator of the seminal Resident Evil series -- and the talented team at Tango Gameworks, The Evil Within embodies the meaning of pure survival horror. Highly-crafted environments, horrifying anxiety, and an intricate story are combined to create an immersive world that will bring you to the height of tension. With limited resources at your disposal, you’ll fight for survival and experience profound fear in this perfect blend of horror and action.

STORY:

While investigating the scene of a gruesome mass murder, Detective Sebastian Castellanos and his partners encounter a mysterious and powerful force. After seeing the slaughter of fellow officers, Sebastian is ambushed and knocked unconscious. When he awakens, he finds himself in a deranged world where hideous creatures wander among the dead.
Facing unimaginable terror, and fighting for survival, Sebastian embarks on a frightening journey to unravel what’s behind this evil force.

Really interesting story and most of the environments were beautiful. The game got a bit repetetive towards the end with the amount of enemies it threw at you but even after that it was well worth playing.

Most of the environments looked great
Really interesting story
AI is actually helpful
Action took over the horror towards the end
Performance could have been better, fps drops here and there

good game, keeps the pace with being interesting. I had few problems with the camera at times but overall is fun to play if you ofcourse like horror games. The immersion to the game's atmosphere is good and story is alright but not the best don't expect witcher 3 story tho.

camera can be a bit weird at times when playing with gamepad

miglior horror in circolazione tra atmosfere uniche e storia davvero intrigante, lo consiglio agli amanti del genere, sicuramente si sarebbe potuto fare di piu dal punto di vista grafico, ma lo ritengo in ogni caso accettabile come livello.

miglior horror senza difetti ne di trama ne di gameplay
la grafica poteva essere meglio

Dark, fear, murder, monsters. I like horror games when I have a minimal amount of ammunition, many difficult opponents and anxiety. Problems with few bugs and not the best optimization on PC. After all, I recommend the game

While the characters are as uninteresting as they can be and the cinematic experience feels a bit forced, the Evil Within has a nice atmosphere combined with a nice selection of horror elements that make it an enjoyable horror title.
