    graphics 10, characters 10, overall very enjoyable and cool game, not sure what's with this stupid hate towards masterpieces like this.

    graphics are very nice, i think story could be little bit better but that's forgivable because overall everything else was amazing okay.

    Graphics in this game were ahead of it's time, looking at trash games like cyberpunk2077 makes me like games like this even more (and overall open-world as well)

    Who cares if some losers hate these games honestly? Majority of actual gamers seems to enjoy these games a lot, so who cares really, absolutely nobody cares about these whiners lol.

    Not regretting trying it, here's the lesson, never take negative reviews seriously on metacritic until you have tried certain game for yourself. You might miss out on many outstanding games that are hated for dumb reasons.

    One of the best games ever made, i'm so glad these games finally get respect that they deserve, better than Skyrim.

    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]
