    I finished RE7 not long ago and thought no other horror game could top it, but boy, was I wrong. The Evil Within taps into many emotions. Fear, paranoia, desolation, hopelessness, and more. Although this game is in 3rd person, everything about the atmosphere and environment totally made up for it. The visual effects used to add to the paranoia was nothing I have ever experienced in a game. It made you feel like there was no hope of escape from this nightmare. The lighting and structures were made perfectly which added to the fear.

    The save points were done in such a unique way. The nurse inside the mental hospital, Sebastion's journal, the Krimson newspaper, all added so much mystery to the plot. It made me want to continue, just to see what this whole situation is about. This leads into the amazing story telling. The game only gives you bits and pieces of the story. Over the course of the game, you slowly uncover what is really going on. The way it unravelled through flashbacks, and visions was awesome. The characters and dialogues were all amazing. You could see them struggle, as they slowly lose their mind.

    I would have easily given this game a 10, but there were some hiccups when it came to the stealth portion of the game. Sometimes enemies who definitely shouldn't have notice me, would notice me, and walk over. Some of the traps felt unfair, as it was too hidden. Some QTE sequences were too unclear. All of these made some of the deaths feel unfair. But added up, these didn't deter too much from the experience as a whole. The horror experience totally makes up for it.    … Expand

    Another problem I had with this game is that the main story leave you with a lot of holes in the plot, and the 2 first DLSs feel in the gap, why is it half to be in the DLS and not in the main game itself? I didn't like that one bit.

    I loved the game, good graphics (and I'm playing this at 2020), and good story, and very good game mechanics.    … Expand

    As a hardcore Resident Evil 4 fan, i was extremely excited, because same director was going to direct The Evil Within. Did it disappoint? No! In fact, it's one of my favorite games of 2014 and also one of my favorite psychological horror games ever made. It has one of the most unique bosses of any horror game ever.

    Another horror masterpiece that was literally ahead of it's time. Now in 2020 it has pretty high ratings on steam and seems like people have finally discovered it. I have personally liked it from day 1. It has one of the better boss rosters of any horror game, super unique level design and tons of character upgrade options.

    Update: There's a trainer by enjoy on gamecopyworld that really makes this game much more enjoyable. It has an FOV slider, an option to speed up the character and other options that fix a lot of what's wrong with the game. It does not fix all the egregious lens flare and jarring visual effects nor the obnoxious camera bob but an FOV of 95 makes it not so bad.

As a side note the major perpetrators of mkultra trauma based mind control are the judaeo-masons-marxists, this is an occult doctrine that was actually documented in one of the black magic grimoires of the middle ages attributed to Solomon, I think it's the clavicle or lesser key in the preface, it's just that the tech/pharmatech has really aided its effectiveness. The Japanese were very effected by the Springmeier books in the early 90's that documented all this, among others and this is primarily what their horror games are about. At bottom this is a kabbalistic satanic system that is used to bring in an atheist world communist dictatorship over the slave goyim with a directing elite of jewish talmudics and their worldly antichrist. That's really the story of this world before apocalypse, make sure you're on the right side there btw. You can see this in a hidden form in the stylized masonic symbol all over the place in the game, which is a hidden black magic hexagram of hermeticism and kabbalism.
    -----------------------

    Got back into this after playing it a few years ago on PC. I can't remember if I had problems with the NON-steam version or not but this steam version I've had no problems with getting 60fps with med/high settings and no/low AA. When the action is high it goes down though pretty bad in some places like when their is fog etc. My largest complaint as far as video options is the over aggressive lense flair and terribly balanced lighting along with the really weird camera bobbing and angles. The seeing double effect and other effects are really horrible too. All that combined with the jarring overly abundant cutscenes and taking control away from the player. In short this game gives me a headache to play too long. It's like being on a bobbing ship with a bunch of lights shining right at you in the fog, ugh. I couldn't tell you much about the story, forgettable like the sequels is. I can tell you a large part of it is simply MKultra/monarch occult, trauma based mind control based or the deliberate shattering of a personality and putting it back together with alters that are trained for various tasks. This used to be called multiple personality disorder but it's called DID now. This is deliberately done by the militaries of all countries, by the elite dynastic families and by various other cults and orgs. Hollywood has many of these that are famous. People whose specific memories can be locked away are very useful for political, military and other kinds of crimes for the occult underworlds new order. The shock chair for upgrading is an example of the type of tech they use as a part of all this. Trained killers like the seals, rangers, delta force etc and their counterparts in intelligence and other places, which can be given any command while under programming and they will carry them out. Politically these gun massacres are usually by these programmed multiples but are given a lot of help by unseen actors and the press/police as well. Disarming the American people is a major goal.

    The controls are ok on a pad but the character is really clunky to move around and there is def too much lag especially when in combat. It's a hard game to enjoy really. The colors are atrocious as well, a muddy look almost all the time with muted other colors make it not very appealing visually. Graphics are ok but are def dated. I'd say if it's cheap give it a go it is a standard mix of RE4 and alan wake. I can see a bit of Silent Hill but it's too run and gun for that comparison really.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a fan of the classic survival horror games, I enjoyed a lot playing this one. The story is intentionally confusing and made me interested in understanding it fully. The sound design is quite good and the level design is very well done. There is a lot of different enemies, so it never gets boring. Gameplaywise, it presents a good challenge, especially in the highest difficulties. Only cons for me were the clunky maniability of the character and the final boss fight, which was a bit disapponting to be honnest.… Expand

    - Atrocious hitbox detection, most of the time bullets won't register, going through enemies despite hiting the target
    - Awful boss fights, way too large enemies that requires way too many resources to kill. - One of the worst horror games I have ever played this year. - The voice acting is laughable, being Leslie and Castellanos the worse by far. - Poorly optimized for    Terrible port

    - One of the worst horror games I have ever played this year.
    - The voice acting is laughable, being Leslie and Castellanos the worse by far.
    - Poorly optimized for pc, probably was not even tested. If you move the mouse in the pause menu, when you read a file the text won't scroll, that may look like a small issue, but it's awful. I gotta pause the game without moving the mouse and going through the files, Bethesda should be embarrased for not testing this.
    - The keyboard is poorly optimized, the character will move in any direction. I ended up getting killed because the game won't register the keyboard key I am pressing, there's also a button delay sometimes, which makes the game unplayable
    - Chapter 10 is atrocious, I was liking the game until I played this chapter, annoying enemies everywhere
    - Weak and pathetic main character, I can run faster and longer in real life than that trained "cop", it is embarrasing watching how fast he gets tired, even with the sprint upgrades. HE looks like a 60 yrs old retired cop rather than a young one, pathetic deign.
    - Beyond awful graphics and textures, you can see the pixelation if you look closely.
    - Annoying combat mechanics, enemies will always have advantage in every aspect
    - Tedious trap disarming, making the game hard to enjoy

    Bethesda **** up this time, and they make things even worse with Evil within 2, they **** up Doom franchise with Doom Eternal, this guys just don't learn. The only reason I give this a 7 instead of a 6, is because I love Shinji Mikami concept, and I love the atmosphere and art design of this game.

    The game is reminiscent of resident evil and silent hill.The atmosphere is successful but the graphics are really bad. It feels like an old game.Story is not bad and game-play time is very good.But this game is very hard. You need too much think and this will be bad sometimes. If you miss silent hill and resident evil style games, it's perfect for you.

    Doesn't keep old good "Resident Evil" mechanics, but against that fact, bringing whole new horror atmosphere, with it's really great details and movie style!..

    "The Evil Within" is maybe more out of gaming part, than first "Resident" games, but by that it's positive.

    A very good story and atmosphere were unforgivable broken by porting the game on PC with a lot of bugs and unimaginably crooked angles in important moments of the game.

There was a lot of times when I was incredibly frustrated when I had to forget about keys in statues only because of some accidents that started a cut-scene and throw me in the next location. This game normally operates with an atmosphere of horror like in Silent hill, and dead action like in Resident evil, in it's own way... but the the terrible implementation of the product on a PC kills all its positive qualities. So, unfortunately, I canā€™t put it above a mediocre rating.… Expand

    I felt this was a decent horror game, it went on a bit, but there were lots of ways to expand your game, given the gun upgrades, character upgrades as well as the funny little ways to perform combat with the crafting and trap mechanics.

The addition of the traps were great, not to mention how many options it opens for you when actually performing combat.

    Combat was slow , which may have felt dated to some; it may have been a design choice to make that game more ponderous.... Combat was not brilliant, but it worked ok for me. I have played many games with worse weapons, or at least the feel of them and although some were not that original, the upgrades did open them up somewhat. Again though combat was significantly improved by having a fair amount of environmental traps that would work against the enemy.

    The atmosphere and horror aesthetic were straight up great. I found these levels creepy and dank, but there were a few serene environments and epic back drops too. These did make the linear levels a lot better, as most were just go from a to b, linear environments. This is not a bad thing. The presentation of this game was very good.

    Horror games do follow the same 'recipe' for story and this , for me was great, the grim feel of the game, the usual miserable rich and hard done by boy with a wrapped connection with his kin as well his parents. I felt most of the descriptions and details were good relating to the characters here. Though the end result did not become that deep when you added it up. It was a good a immersion factor...

    The sound design I felt was great; the variation of the music also was refreshing; though I liked heavy, dark and ambient music. Most of the important voice acting was good too; though some was quite wooden.

    The story was all over the place in the long run and I can see why some may think it was half-arsed... But I don't think it was... It was dreamy and it was holding it's cards close, so it was almost un-interpretable otherwise. Sure this hurts the story, and the characters are pretty dumb; but I felt that was excusable given there was noticeable tension between the characters and I felt like that was believable. The story was not bad - at least its not completely Generic! And they tried something different!

    The ending and the way the premise was handled , I will agree was a let down somewhat. But given the way it was meant to be, I think the dream world-ishness made it less believable , not to mentions the length of the game and how it progressed. This was long and it felt long at times, thought I felt it rewarded you.

    Again the bosses and the creativity was great with this game, not to mention the death sequences which are phenomenal and at times make me glad I died that they were so brutal and OTT.

    I have this on PC and I have had no issues with performance at all.    … Expand

    I'm glad I did, the experience that followed was one of my favourite gaming experiences of all time, it's not perfect, the controls are a little clunky, the pc port wasn't great on launch, but as it is right now, it's an underated masterpiece.

    A game full of creative environments, with the ability to take you from an asylum to a cornfield with the opening of a door, a truly exception artistic direction, from environment and sound design to animation, everything really is stellar in this experience, it feels old school, but in the best possible way, it's tightly directed and carefully curated, taking you through it's nightmare lands at a brisk pace whilst slowly introducing you to an intriguing slow burning story.

    Special mention goes to the bosses in this game, they are superb and some of my favourite boss encounters to date, tense, scary and although not especially tough to figure out always quite frantic!

    This game really is something special, I urge you to give it a try, if you dare!    … Expand

    This was the return of the survival horror genre to the gaming world, long before Capcom started to pay attention to their Resident Evil franchise.

    It's more action oriented like Resident Evil 4 , it's not like the old survival tittles. This game adds some new mechanics to the genre such as: -Stealth. -Crafting ammo and resources. -Collecting keys to open cabinets for random loot.

    Every adition works fine, which makes it even better as it helped the genre come to life again for the time.

    Nowadays the game has fixed all its issues, including the horrible cinema bars and has plenty of dlcs to enjoy.

    If you were planning on playing this game , you should start with this one first instead of going for the second title. (That's a different story)

    For me this was the best one the series has to offer and it's pretty damn good as a survival horror.    … Expand

    Here we have a survival horror game that apparently also wants to be a 3rd person shooter, which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing in it of itself, however unfortunately the scariest thing about it are not any of the monsters but rather the horrendously clunky controls, outdated graphics and gameplay mechanics.
    Alright then then, it is rather unimpressive on a technical level and the controls aren't amazing, which again wouldn't be the end of the world, as there have been plenty of games with clunky or outright bad controls that have become genre defining because the story made up for it. Unfortunately the Evil Within is not one of those games. Instead the poor graphics and clunky controls are accompanied by writing that feels like they hired an elementary schooler, embarrassingly dull characters that fail to make you relate, much less care about them at every turn possible, twists that M. Night Shyamalan would roll his eyes at and last but not least game design straight out of 2001. The overarching plot can best be described as pseudo-intellectual pretentious garbage that has been done better a hundred times over. And it actually manages to get even more nonsensical with every twist.

    Well to point out some good things the game has some creative visceral monster designs thrown in between the generic "definitely not zombies" and diverse similarly creative set-pieces. However it never manages to properly utilize any of them for the reasons stated above. Even the most creatively designed foe starts to become annoying rather than scary pretty quickly and even the most awe inspiring set-piece will make you sigh once you realize that you actually have to navigate through it.

    If this game came out in the early 2000s it might have competed with the Resident Evil series but the standards for horror and survival game design have significantly increased since and what would have been good back then is simply unacceptable nowadays. Overall this game leaves the impression that someone set out to create a supercut of the early Resident Evil games, without thinking the whole thing through. It adopts pretty much all of their weaknesses without improving or adding anything new. We're left with a game that feels like little more than a Shinji Mikami wankfest, that has no business being released in 2014    … Expand

    This game has Shinji Mikami's hallmarks stamped all over it just as Resident Evil 4 did. In fact, after a slightly wibbly start with a couple of stealth set pieces, I found this game to just get better and better. For me, it's a fantastic combination of RE4 (one of my fav games mechanically speaking) and Silent Hill (one of my fav games in terms of disturbing imagery and horror).

    Has it got a few rough edges here and there? In some ways yes. Like the early RE games, the voice acting and script are hammy. I found the story hard to follow, although one could argue it adds to the weirdness. Luckily for me, these elements are a very low priority in a survival horror game.

    The game intentionally makes you vulnerable in a way that few games do these days and at first it can seem a bit too archaic. You can't run for too long, your movement slows when shooting, monsters hit really hard, you field of view is narrow and melee is simply there to buy you some time to turn and run in order to get some distance. However, it's still more modern in its controls and feel when compared to RE4 and 5 and it's all deliberately tuned to make a great survival horror experience. There are also a handful of QTE's (as in RE4) that sometimes catch you by surprise in an irritating way and a couple of on rails bits which, while competently done and mildly enjoyable, don't match the quality of the other levels. At least it changes the pace though.

    Aparts from these things, everything is beautifully crafted. There's just so much variety and imagination. Take the environments. Just when you think you're going to be doing several levels in an open air forest village, you're whisked away to a completely different type of enclosed, modern area. These sort of changes happen regularly and keep the places you explore fresh and interesting. Just when things seem too oppressive, dark and hemmed in, you'll find yourself outdoors and in open spaces. There are ruined areas, plush areas, modern, old, surreal. There are mansions, sewers, hospitals, city streets, abattoirs, factories, dream scapes etc...There's often a lot of verticality too. It's rare for the game to be one corridor after another. Regardless of the setting though, the tense feeling of horror or apprehension is almost always present, only giving way now and then to let you relax in order to start ramping it up again. Also, in true RE fashion, you'll find yourself breathing a sigh of relief when you find a save room, despite the fact the game also uses checkpoints.

    Monsters are varied too. Just when you think you're gonna face another room of basic enemies, you'll face a mini boss, or a specially crafted arena where you'll fight a smaller group of unique enemies. You might be on the run from an indestructible creature (nemesis style) or maybe fighting ordinary enemies but with some sort of environmental challenge to deal with at the same time. For example, you might have to fight while avoiding rotating blades or being stuck on a small moving platform. There is obviously deliberate purpose behind virtually all the steps you take to get from A to B, it all feels handcrafted and thoughtfully put together.

    I could go on and on but suffice to say that the other things the game offers all enhance the experience. Upgrade trees are interesting, feel meaningful and are rewarding. Ammo and health conservation matter. Finding the statue collectibles has actual impact since it provides the chance for much needed ammo and health kits. Weapon selection is important too depending on your situation and the arms at your disposal all have very specific attributes which are fun to learn. The graphics are very good in terms of the ambience they provide and there's a lot of attention to detail in the environment. Sound is used to good effect and music often increases the feeling of dread and fear. Stealth is handled well and is necessary in order to save ammo and avoid confrontation. Clearing a room of enemies without being seen, collecting all the XP and items knowing you wasted nothing is very satisfying.

    Anyway, I would urge anyone who likes survival horror and, in particular, RE4 to give this a shot. Btw, although I enojyed EW2, I found this game to be superior in every way except story, cutscenes and voice acting.    … Expand

In General, you could do less episodes, about 12, especially because some were too short or do not understand what is needed, it would have kept the freshness and no sagging. The main character liked the charisma and appearance. the main villain of the rules, but the ending is not very much, I thought it would be something original, and even so it was clear what was happening.

    There is no optimization, camera is awful, gameplay is boring. Main character is so weak, story is too slow and it's not original at all. At first it seems that game is interesting, but when first enemy shown, and you try to fight with him - all became so unprofessional. Because of weird camera you can't see half of the screen and you step at dangerous trap every 5 second.

    Overall I definitely enjoyed The Evil Within, the combat is very satisfying, it's just fun to play, it never gets old shooting off enemies heads and limbs, or setting them on fire, however the aiming definitely was a little off, sometimes bullets seemed to just pass through enemies. There were a couple of annoyances that did hurt the gameplay though, the main one being you can only bind 4 items to hotkeys, even through the config file and it's just not enough, having to constantly go into your inventory manually and select an item or weapon was very clunky (you can bind up to 10 in the sequel which is plenty). I also didn't like the dedicated melee button, in the sequel you melee with MB1 if you're not aiming down-sights with a firearm, this felt so much more refined, the melee ability was also quite clumsy and you'd often miss the oversized crate you were trying to destroy for ammo.

    The story was decent but not great, it's also very confusing, it would have been even more so if I hadn't played the sequel first which does spoil the first game a little. The voice acting again is just OK, really nothing special at all, serviceable sums it up nicely. The audio in general was good though, from the monsters screaming as you burn them alive to the squish noise when you run over them with a vehicle. Visually I liked the style but it's not a massive looker, plus the performance is still really bad after all these years, things were improved but never fixed (you can now disable the black bars, but you'll see a 15-30fps hit depending on the area, you can also select 60fps mode whereas previously the game was locked to 30fps). I had to run the game at 900p instead of my native 1080p to hit 60fps stable in all situations which isn't ideal, but it's much better than playing with black bars at 1080p IMO. i'm using a very common build with a 3570k @ 4.3GHz, GTX 970 and 16GB DDR3 2133MHz, if you have better than this you'll be able to stick to 1080p as I wasn't far off but I can't abide dips.

    I will say there were too many one shot mechanics throughout the game, where if you go the wrong way or perform the wrong action you just die and have to start again, sometimes this is OK if it's a clear mistake you made, but many of the times I died I didn't do anything blatantly wrong so it was frustrating. Thankfully the devs removed this mechanic almost entirely from the sequel.

    Grab it when it's on sale if you're a fan of survival horror games like Resident Evil as I'm sure you'll enjoy it, and you can get it for pennies these days.    … Expand

He is the Creator of the cult series Resident Evil, he also in his time made the revolution game Resident Evil 4, when it reinvented the genre of survival horror. Within the walls of Bethesda, he founded his own Studio - Tango Gameworks and started to develop The Evil Withi (original title - Psychobreak). Naturally the expectations were large, all waiting for a new revolution in the genre. Received we not revolution, but evolution.

    The Evil Within is a survival horror with a complex plot. And this is the case when you dig into it and think is really interesting. Our controlled character Sebastian Castellanos. Together with him we were in a psychedelic hell. To dilute our lonely adventure will be his partner Julie Kidman and Joseph ODA as well as rare doctor Jimenez and Leslie. The plot of the game, though good, is twisted, but the problem is that it just a little. Approximately from 2 to 9 Chapter, the plot does not develop and we have all this time, in fact, just a gameplay adventure. Ongoing survival, which is poorly supported by the plot. But Chapter 9 begins the normal flow of the plot and max included psychedelia. We also find notes on the family of Sebastian, which in the end just be an interesting story, which is not developed (although we already know that the second part will be in fact his personal story, and there may we all know).

    In terms of gameplay it really is survival. cartridges and lacelock always in the shotgun, all you need to save, and shoot accurately. The game does not forgive mistakes. Even normal enemies can kill the main character with a few strokes, bosses and did the same fierce, some even vanscott you. The game has stealth, but we will not use very often. This is not a stealth game and more of a third-person shooter. sometimes the game stops being horror and becomes just a shooter, which is not always pleasant. I wish the game was designed in the same tempo-rhythm. At the locations there are traps that we can defuse, and can lure them into enemies, which is very useful. If we can disarm traps, will give us details which we will spend on bolts for the crossbow (bolts of different types). As for locations, you can find the "gel", which is the pumping of the protagonist. In upgrading all standard.

    The locations are varied and beautiful. Will visit in the devastated city, and in the catacombs, and in the village. The game looks cinematic (not even taking into account strip that can be switched off), and also quite beautiful. From graphics to spit not want to. That's just the game itself is technically not done very well. At the start, it was lag, but now everything is fixed. You can also notice frequent pogrugenie textures (thanks to id Tech 5 engine).

    The enemies in the game look cool, repulsive and a bit scary. If ordinary opponents can be overcome without too much skill, the bosses require special tactics.

    The game went 3 DLC: 2 story and 1 meat just for entertainment. In story DLC "The Assignment" and "The Consequence" we play for Julie Kidman. The gameplay for it is different, because now that we have stealth (shoot too give, but a little). These additions do the plot and reveal the history from a different perspective. It is evident that they, the developers tried to listen to player feedback. The third DLC "The Executioner" not the plot, and meaty, bloody entertainment. We play for the Keeper - Catgroove. We destroy the enemies with extreme brutality.

    The Evil Within - it's this squeeze of creativity Sensi Mikami. It is felt that this game did it. Even unused demo for RE4 found their application. References complete: from the first appearance of the possessed to destroy the main guy. And it's not bad. The game is really about survival, but unfortunately it's not horror. The game pumps, and there are scary moments, there are many gallons of blood and dismemberment juicy, the authors often play with reality, but do not take this game as a horror movie. This third-person shooter with elements of survival. The story was interesting, but it was too rough, and a lot of things to thinking the most, besides most of the game we have the bare gameplay mechanics, which, of course, still interesting, but it would be nice to spread the story throughout the game. A revolution in the genre didn't happen, but came out great development. This is the good old Resident Evil, but more psychedelic and bloody. Can't say that TEW is my most favorite game, also is not to say that it is the most terrible of its horror brethren. But I passed it 2 times (second time with DLS) and want to go third, followed by probably still. The game is addictive, makes her return in this terrifying world.    … Expand

    The Evil Within is a 3rd person survival horror game where you play as detective Sebastian investigating a scene of a mass murder at a mental hospital and then all of a sudden things start going crazyā€¦
    I donā€™t want to spoil the story but the games setting is actually a pretty cool twist..
    But for the most part at least in the beginning the game mixes settings and scenery upā€¦
    In fact the first half of this game is great and guaranteed this game a spot on my game of the year least when the time came.. but it didnā€™t stay this greatā€¦
    As a survival horror game youre managing your health with pick ups.. your health will regenerate but only slightly.. and when your health is bwelow a certain point you move slowly and arenā€™t able to runā€¦
    But a bit like the game alone in the dark you have weapons hereā€¦ as you progress the game youll get a pistol, shotgun, sniper rifle, a cross bow like weapon, there are grenades.. a great variety of weapons for survival and devent drop rate of ammo.. but just enough to keep you staying carful with what you use..
    Unique from most survival horror games is that there is an assassins creed like stealth mechanic where you can take out most unaware enemies from behind..
    you also have to stealth to disarm traps and get parts the craft cross bolts for your bowā€¦
    there are also jars of brain juice around the levels and off of enemies that act as a currency you use to upgrade your stats, buy ammo, and increase the stats of your weapons..
    There are mirrors that take you back to the hospital this allows you to save the game as well, but the game will ocassionally autosave
    The first half of the game I found to be really enjoyable and terrifying..
    I was stressed in a good way and enemies put up a great challengeā€¦
    Missions were varied, I felt like I was in a movie..
    And then halfway through the game it starts to fall apart..
    The game goes from being scary to just frustrating..
    Its becomes an anxiety fest of dealing with insta kill enemies, and recourse draining section after recouce draining section.. dealing with spongy bosses, having to thow switch after switch doing it multiple times in the same area to pregress furtherā€¦
    The games initial near perfect progression crumbles and stumbles to a crawlā€¦
    Made worse by this games awful checkpoint and autosave systemā€¦
    The game wont constantly autosave once you find an important itemā€¦
    And again there are cheap instakill enemies and moments in this gameā€¦
    They are sometimes completely random, theyā€™ll hit you and you have to go through the 10 minutes of recollecting supplies over and over and over until you get lucky enough to either get away or not activate this random spawnā€¦
    And also againā€¦ the 2nd half of this game is focused more on anxiety than it is horror..
    its not fun replaying these anxiety filled moments
    They arenā€™t even fun the first timeā€¦
    And the games 2nd half is filled of these moments and trial and error chases with no indication of what you have to do, so you just keep doing it until you get it right with no checkpoints..
    But still I pushed forward.. I was overlooking all of the bad because of the intriguing story going through this anxiety festā€¦
    The game would freeze on my a couple of times causeing me to resatart itā€¦ no big deal, ill forgive it.. the first half was so good and im so close to this games end..
    8 and a half hours into the game.. im on chapter 11 out of 15.. about 2 and a half to 3 hours away from this games credits.. and I run into a game breaking bugā€¦
    Thatā€™s rightā€¦ 3 years laterā€¦ a Bethesda game (go figure) still has a game breaking bugā€¦
    I did play the ps3 version of this game and thought thatā€™s clearly the problem.. so I went to google and no.. this chapter is full of game breaking bugs, more than just the one I ran into that wouldnā€™t let me progress the game..
    I was an hr deep and nothing I did helped, shutting down the game, reloading checkpoints..
    dying.. nothingā€¦ the game wouldnā€™t let me progressā€¦
    The only thing keeping me from just giving this game a 0 and walking away is that restarting the chapter couldā€™ve probably let me continue.. but once more..
    the 2nd half of this game is filled of anxiety, frustration and cheapnessā€¦
    I wasnā€™t about to go through that hour and a half I just went through again..
    Im walking away from what I thought was initially a great game that crumbled into a good game, but left me with the taste of a bad gameā€¦
    I give the Evil Within
    a very generous

    - Simple but usefull upgrade system
    - Art and cinematography.
    - Letterbox and FOVā€¦yes. I like them for a survival horror. I like feelling uncomfortable or restricted while playing them.
    - Subtle post-process effects like, noise, glows/blooms, chromatic aberration and some dithering for AO and the keylight shadows. Particle sprites for dust, smoke and fire are acceptable and well executed for a multi-platformer.
    - Facial expression looks better in person than in YouTube videos or wherever you watched gameplay. Is not hyper-realistic but it looks better than I expected (I talk more about graphics in the ā€œconsā€ section)
    - Boss fights. They are good and tense.
    - Aside itā€™s linear I like the path the developers made for the player.
    - The OST is very good.
    - Clever UI and item mapping.
    - And of course Resident Evil, other survival horror games and movies references.
    - My favorite chapters are 6, 7 and the end of 9th :)
    - The Model Viewer ;)

    Cons:
    - The ending and the last chapters are less interesting than the first 60% (wich is great).
    - MeleƩ and barehand fights are too simple (at least is not Silent Hill Downpour hahaha!)
    - I couldnā€™t enjoy much of the TLOU alike stealth system. I think is a good addition but not that well executed.
    - I hate Ruvik's design (at least during game). Maybe similar concept (skinny, cryptic etcā€¦but not as clichĆ© as he was with his actions).
    - It looks really good in general but they could have improved pop-up textures, tessellation and DOF on the idTech5.
    - Dynamic shadows resolution.
    - The city chapters are horrible in terms of design. I hate ghouls with weaponsā€¦I hate modernity in this kind of games. I preferred the ā€œNocturneā€ ghouls with thompsons haha! they had more style.
    - Lack of turn around button (at least I didn't find it during my first playthrough)
    - Lack of option Co-Op. Is not that bad because it helps you to feel helpless but maybe for a DLC it would be great.
    - In this era of "Souls" games it would be great to see more options for the checkpoint system.
    - Bad AI (sometimes) and lame difficulty at moments (in ā€œSurvival Modeā€ wich is considered ā€œnormal)
    - The ā€œcastā€ is not bad but I wished more characters involvedā€¦and more clothes states / variations during the story. BTW they could have helped Jennifer Carpenter to make a better role more fittable for her personality.

    I was expecting something less predictable and darker. Something different from RE4,5 and 6 with more puzzle solving and twisted plot. But no matter what are the cons. It's a good game wich I want to play a few more times :)    … Expand

    A game with potential, marred by lack of polish.

    Between the many flaws mentioned, the camera is truly abysmal. As a player, you will constantly fight against it, which is paradoxical, since camera placement is a foundation of stealth gaming.

The atmosphere and graphics quality are very well done and really drew me in. My only complaint is that I am not the most talent video game player, and thus, some of the bosses were simply beyond my abilities. I would be great if there could be an algorithm writing into the game for those of us who are less talented, such that if a boss kills us 10 times, then said boss becomes a little weaker by degrees with each failed attempt. That said, this is one of the best horror games ever made; I rank it right up there with Silent Hill 1 and 2.… Expand

    The Evil Within is a very flawed game. The game suffers from many technical problems that mar the experience. The game has an extremely low frame rate.

The Evil Within was created by Shinji Mikami the creator of the Resident Evil series. I personally love Resident Evil 4 and it is one of my favorite games of all time. The game reuses the same combat from Resident Evil 4 which is not ok. Resident Evil 4 came out about 10 years ago. The game also features horrible clunky stealth sections where you use throwable distractible objects and then sneak behind the enemy and use a one use stealth weapon to kill them. The game uses these awful run a bit sections where you run from enemies in terrible run sections where it is hard to see due to the horrible camera which gets stuck on things easily. The Evil Within is the worst horror game I have ever played and one of the worst video games I have ever played. It was so bad that couldnā€™t finish it. Resident Evil 7 is coming out soon I hope for the love of god that is takes no influences from this game. The Evil Within gets my lowest rating of a 0/10.… Expand

It has its moments with some haunting visuals and brain-twisting segments but it tries to hard to be SOMETHING and ends up being a pain in the butt. The controls via keyboard and mouse are swishy and clumsy The UI in the menus has trouble between the mouse and keyboard for whatever reason and remaping is absolutely annoying. The gamepad controls are slightly better but the 3rd person character still wobbles and sways when you least need him to be. The weapon leveling system is simple but it takes to much goop to make anything worthwhile and there aren't any stats as to what weapons do in terms of power, etc. It's very sloppy UI-wise. There are only 4 quick keys and you can't use the mouse wheel to cycle through the weapons. That's the first I've ever heard or seen of that silliness. I had no issues with the graphics. Everything ran smoothly although the camera was really bad at times. The enemies are clever by lunging and running at you and dodging from time to time but blowing their heads off doesn't always stop them but lighting them with a match does. Go figure. The story may be the worst part overall. It's convoluted, nonsensical on goes on and on and on... It's just awful and very boring. The characters are one-dimensional and so is the laughable dialogue and mediocre voice-acting. It's not the worst of the horror-survival game out there but with so many other better titles, both 3rd and 1st person available I'd leave this for the cheapie sale to buy it.… Expand

Longevity is around 8 to10 hours for the first playthrough so not bad at all considering the genre, adding several dlc and second playthrough with new weapons can increase to 20 hours minimum, Big problem here is the pc porting from the consoles. It is just bad, with a 970 60 fps on medium settings is not always possible, even after patches. Now they are not updating the game anymore so it will stay like this forever. My advice is to find it online at a really cheap price (I was able to find it for 6-7 euros) and that's a bargain for this game.
    Be careful because there are several jump scares and in general will keep you at the edge of your seat, but that's the point of the game!    … Expand

    Even without the technical problems the game has horrible voice acting, and a protagonist that you want to punch. He either doesnt talk or just makes sarcastic remarks and takes nothing seriously. This game also fails to make you feel like this world was ever alive, or to make you feel bad at all for what is happening. The beginning of the game you are basically driving through an empty city, no signs of destruction yet, just a bunch of parked cars and maintained streets with NO people. This game is also not scary, a few enemies look gross but thats it, it just throws blood in your face and calls it scary. The game tries to make the villain scary, or thinks that you will be scared of him, all he has to him is a huge scar down his pale face and all he does is make a pouting face and covers his eyes. Its almost laughable because the camera zooms in on him every time it shows him making an eerie sound effect. i mean if your scared of blood, just blood everywhere from walls to floors to entire pools than im sure you'll be scared of this game

    A truly fantastic video game, who's full potential is lost amongst a miasma of corporate-publisher bulls**t, extremely low quality testing and 'questionable' design decisions.

It can be set to 60FPS, but it's made immediately clear that    A truly fantastic video game, who's full potential is lost amongst a miasma of corporate-publisher bulls**t, extremely low quality testing and 'questionable' design decisions.

    For every one thing this game does right, there are 10 things it did wrong. It's visually impressive with an amazing atmosphere, but it runs like crap. It can be set to 60FPS, but it's made immediately clear that it was never meant to do that, resulting in nasty screen tear and other visual issues. It's more than happy to crash on you and save points are few and far between for most of the game. A mild checkpoint system kicks in eventually, all too late I might add. The characters look good and have fine animations, but the dialogue between them is stiff and unnatural. Nobody tries to make sense of what's going on, even though they are suppose to be police detectives.

    If you can get past the performance and character issues, then the Publisher issues kick in. It seems that this game was going to be much closer to Silent Hill and less like Resident Evil. This is demonstrated for most of the early game, I'd say at least the first 5 chapters. But I imagine Bethesda coming to Tango Gameworks and saying "A game that is not 90% combat is not going to sell, so put more combat in the game", because that's exactly what happened. From chapter 6 until the end of the game is a non-stop rollarcoaster of very, very bad combat sections. Suddenly it becomes obvious that the game wasn't built with combat in mind. Aiming a gun causes the camera to zoom in by a ridiculous amount, making aiming genuinely difficult in a game consisting mostly of tight and narrow levels. Melee is utterly useless, you've probably heard enough about that from others by now. Almost every boss in the game is a one-hit-kill to you if they get into range (I am not exaggerating, the bosses in this game are perhaps the worst bosses I've ever seen), and just like Resident Evil 6, they just keep coming back over and over again removing any sense of satisfaction from defeating them. To top this off, some of the weapons really get brokenly powerful if upgraded right. The Crossbow has bolts that can be upgraded to do 240% more damage per shot to enemies and cause them to catch fire, or stun every enemy in a room and leave them vulnerable to be stealth-killed (A single button) for up to 16 seconds. Yes, 16 seconds. This ammo can be manufactured by the player at will too. Please keep in mind, this is supposed to be a Survival Horror game, by a company well versed in this genre.

    But enough about the combat, carrying on with the Publisher bulls**t, some of the most powerful equipment in the game is pre-order bonus only, such as Incendiary Bolts. While most of the bolts in the game need to be upgraded to be useful, the Incendiary Bolts are instant-kills against any enemies, including groups in range and are extremely powerful against most bosses in the game too. The story is never explained well either. This is something else I'm sure you've heard many people complaining about, such as the deeply unsatisfying ending, but it is true. Character's never discuss the important parts of the game, and the story as a whole is full of loopholes. It smacks of bad writing, until you realize that the story was left this way intentionally because it's going to be explained in the future DLC. That's right, they're pulling the EA Tactic, buy the game now and then pay more later for the privilege of being allowed to experience the full story.

    Summary:

    If you really like character-action games in horror settings, like Resident Evil 4 or the Dead Space series, then stick with what you already have. This game is not the next big RE4. It will not deliver what you want.

    If you love Survival Horror games then The Evil Within is sure to disappoint. From its mounted-turret sections to its QTE's to its one-shot-kill recurring boss fights... It is just too crippled from it's performance and design issues and is just not satisfying to complete. Nothing happens in the end to make the struggle worth while.

    If you love Shinji Mikami, like I do, and want to follow his work then Resident Evil Remake has just been released in the form of a HD Remastered version. Pick that up instead.

    (EXTRA)

    I can also confirm that not only is the game crash-happy on PC, but also on PS4 as well (I didn't even know a PS4 could blue-screen crash, but apparently it can).

    In other news, I finally finished 2 of the 3 DLC packs for the game. The Assignment and The Consequence are quite a step up from the main game, they do more to explain the story and they are much shorter than the main game, which I feel is good. However they still suffer from many of the main games faults (Such as one-hit-kill bosses, single-use melee weapons, etc). I tried my best to play and finish the third DLC, The Executioner, but alas the game glitched out on me, spawned me in an empty black void and I was unable to proceed. I lack the motivation to try again.    … Expand

The Shift key is supposed to make the character run but sometimes it doesn't work - sometimes it does - as the script pleases. The whole game feels like it has no generic gameplay mechanics at all, and all there is is an endless row of special places where you can do the only required things and that's all. No sense of freedom or even choice. The camera is placed at an awkward angle. It's never clear which objects can be interacted with and which can't. The gameplay is about entering a room, getting killed and by that guessing what the designer wanted you to do in that room, and doing just that upon reload. Pathetic.

    - Next Generation 3rd Person View
    The game features horrible 3rd person view, an enemy is close to you, be ready to not be able to use your gun, because the game is absent of a decent, offensive meele. Did i mention that you have a knife? You can't use it on close quarters wherever you need to.

    - The next generation AI, Part 1.
    Probably one of the worse I've seen in years, you've seen this kind of AI behavior on those good old early 2000's games, where the Npc just follows you like there were no walls, just a straight line, ignoring obstacles.

    - Next Generation Horror Game.
    Horror? Terrifying? Scary? Honestly you don't feel any kind of psychological fear, unless you eat some depressive drugs (alcohol, heroin...). Yes, you'll make a "ugh, ugly creepy boss" (the Keeper looks amazing) and that "oh not he's going to kill me" because you can't just aim at him because of the next gen 3rd person view. In short, it could be better. The horror part of this game is the rage due to bugs.

    - Next generation AI, Part 2. Difficulty is ok i guess, can be hard sometimes. For instance, you think you ave to hit that boss's eye some times, in order to trigger the next phase, when you just needs to spam grenades until it falls dead. There's people on the top reviews talking about how this game is so "old school", well...take a look at Metal Gear Solid bosses and how you just can't mindlessly spam Grenades or Pistol rounds in order to kill it, a game from like...1999?

    - Next Gen face rig/expression system: Characters have no emotions, their internal scream is clear (voice actors were ok), but nobody can save then from the almost-poker-faces they make. (please, watch Dead Space 2 acting, from characters to dialogues)

    This could be an amazing game, a Triple A masterpiece, something totally worth of a sequel and probably a movie. Those games you would play again next year, and maybe in the next year too. But no, unfinished game, looks like an Alpha version of a future great game that needs a serious mechanics fix.

    Btw the story is pretty interesting if you're into mind bending stuff, you know Psychology stuff, that's why it gets a 3.

As of this review you can remove the bars that take up a portion of your monitor (at a lose of FPS) and I believe SLI is still not supported which is baffling if I am correct.

    The graphic options are pathetic and have little to no impact on your performance, its the resolution. This game simply hates 1080p and you might have to find some slightly lower resolution. This is just unacceptable and its really a crime given how this game is really great if it runs well.

    I can not speak of keyboard controls, but the controller works fine.

    As for the game itself you will find yourself in a completely insane world. Certain bosses are truly terrifying and will kill you often. The game is thick with atmosphere and at times certain enemies give you a dark souls feeling given how large they are. The safe zone is particularly interesting in this game and I do not want to spoil anything. The game is very gory and weapons do visceral damage. Oddly death animations are non existent save for special enemies, you kind of just drop dead. (Chainsaw death though!)

    The game has an interesting fire mechanic and the gunplay is solid. The upgrade system is nothing special. Overall despite what some may claim this is survival horror. Yes you have guns and ammo. You will be shooting a lot, but usually if you have a ton of ammo there will be a large horde and its empty in no time if you do not use fire well. Don't expect to leon karate these guys, bare hands do not work well against horrific monsters.

    This game is best summed up as one reviewer put it as the resident evil 5 we never got. He went on to say but its too many years late and new mechanics are needed. I have to say while I agree with the upgrade system the mechanics were fine. Boss battles are genuinely terrifying and you will find yourself running trying to figure out how to kill something that warps away from bullets.

    Im not sure if its a translation issue or what but the writing is god awful. Your characters, possibly in a situation where 90% of people would upon finding a gun blow their brains out seem to not care about anything. Your partner tries to kill himself and you tackle him, take the gun and go "What the **** man" then walk off. "Im a police officer, maybe I should help you?" Your characters animations to see a room completely changing are realistic but the dialogue is just painful. "Lets find the exit" after left has become right, down up, red to blue.

    I love this game but I also hate it. I can't put it down but my god is it infuriating how no effort was put into this PC port. I can't imagine playing this before the black bars were removed and the 30 fps cap was lifted. And to the idiot reviewers who act like PC gamers need to get over 30fps because its not a twitch game....
    Yea the giant monster I have to run out of the way from, the bomb I have to make a needle land on the small green spot. Or the man with the gigantic chainsaw coming for me. No problem, give me half the information I like watching my guy get impaled by a chainsaw at 30fps. Its so cinematic. Popcorn anyone?    … Expand

    First sneak kill was not a sneak kill.

    Instant kill with game. Don't tell me it's going to be a sneak kill when the guy just turns around and chops your damn head off, you dumb f**king idiot devs. Not recommended. Godawful frame rate on a high end system. No I will not bother with patches. IF you cannot be arsed to produce a game that doesn't work properly first time around, I    First sneak kill was not a sneak kill.

    BORING. I've played a lot of games, challenging games, easy games, fun games and frustrating games, and this one most definitely falls into the latter category. The Evil Within is supposed to be scary, but it's ridiculously bad controls make it just excruciating to play. I tried enjoying this thing with a mouse and keyboard, an xbox 360 controller and even an xbox one controller, but theBORING. I've played a lot of games, challenging games, easy games, fun games and frustrating games, and this one most definitely falls into the latter category. The Evil Within is supposed to be scary, but it's ridiculously bad controls make it just excruciating to play. I tried enjoying this thing with a mouse and keyboard, an xbox 360 controller and even an xbox one controller, but the problem is the game, not the input device. The developers wasted an inordinate amount of time animating the player's movements to the point where normal actions like turning around, walking sideways and combat are painfully clumsy. To make matters worse, this game forces you into a bunch of stealth gameplay... That is in third person... Wow, now that sucks. Seriously? You have to decide whether you want to use your lantern to see what the heck you're doing but if you turn it on the monsters see you and ruin your day. Oh but you can't move around in the dark either, because some douchebag mischievously placed bear traps in every level that make you roll your eyes every time you step in one. But it gets even better. There are instant kill proximity bombs all over the place and as soon as they start beeping you're already dead. I said screw this game after the third time one of them blew me up. I could waste 1000 hours of my time trying to learn all the little tiny intricacies of this game just to be able to play it, but I've got to go to work and school. I don't want to play a game if it isn't fun. So to say things in another way, the Resident Evil 1 remastered remake on Steam has BETTER controls than the evil within. Now that's bad. The controls and terrible camera angles completely ruin this game. Enjoy.… Expand

    Me encanto el juego, me divierto en cada misiĆ³n y creo que me esperan buenos momentos dentro de cada partida... se que muchos lo critican fuertemente en comparaciĆ³n a RE.. pero creo que se le debe dar una oportunidad y vivir esta historia de terror en PC.

    Piss poor attempt at horror, cliched, over produced, too much unskippable dialog and forced pacing.

    Buy Outlast instead if you want a proper horror game.

    an average game or maybe a little below average , that's slow and methodical to develop, with paid dlc content to get basic weapon like a fire crossbow bolt, over all uneventful slog to get thru with no high point's, with nice graphics , since they released the patch to remove the black bars, recommend for about 10 bucks ,

    It seems the developers were not entirely sure what they wanted to achieve and got caught between traditional and innovative approach, properly employing neither. [13/2014, p.56]

    Borrowing heavily from past survival horror games, The Evil Within still manages to create fear in its players despite some clunkiness. [Dec 2014, p.58]

    As the Japanese survival horror genre goes, The Evil Within feels a bit old fashion but in a good way. It certainly has the potential of becoming a cult classic. [Nov 2014]
