Shinji Mikami and Tango Gameworks scare us, they mix puzzles and third person shooting in a reborn survival horror that is visually poor. The Keeper, the Alpha mastodon and other ugly deformed will make you have nightmares.… Expand

    Great survival horror that mixes best of silent hill and resident evil together. Graphics and some fps drops didnt effect me.

    What can you say about a horror game? This game tries to be too much like a movie and loses focus of what it is trying to convey; for example,What can you say about a horror game? This game tries to be too much like a movie and loses focus of what it is trying to convey; for example, the team had allot of ideas threw them in; on the surface that looks alright; however, when really think about the concept of the story; it works better as a movie than a game and here is why. My theory is your plugged in some antagonist mind and each of the separate stages is a different protagonist mind hence the name “The evil within” The game is nice with some innovative mechanics that make it stand apart from the rest; such as, your health does not regenerate to a certain point unless standing still, and a stamina bar, also wall mines will detonate if standing; these things culminate in a title that is frustrating and punishing at the same time. This game by no means is bad but could be improved; it is well constructed (Just lack in execution), polished (With some minor bugs) and the directing is on point, however more of a problem is the controls, it is like it doesn't know how to implement the controls properly-- it feels awkward, you have to hold up wherever the camera is pointing and that is the direction you go in (It feels like a hybrid of the old and new, “RE” titles). At about chapter 9 it starts feeling really repetitive throughing bosses at you left and right. Lastly, animation's of certain attacks most notably the, “grenade” take too long and you cannot avoid an attack it would be nice to upgrade the speed of the animation, it takes about 2 seconds within those two seconds you are open to attack. Needless to say, the game has a lot of unique ideas but unfornatley this comes at the expense of the player.… Expand

But after first blinking enemy you find that they are common in this game. And fighting with enemy, who love to teleport behind you back is frustrating.

    Also game design is lame, areas are pretty small but empty, nothing to see. Paired with "darkness" -- most of the time you screen shows some abstract 2d picture (badly textured wall).    … Expand
