    The Consequence is clearly focused on the plot rather than the action it seemed to have. An unexpected ending establishes the basis of an obvious sequel.

    Drenched in atmosphere and relying on running over gunning, The Consequence wreaks havoc on the nerves and keeps you on your toes at all times.

    A welcome addition to the main game, The Consequence deepens The Evil Within while being satisfying in its own right.

    The Consequence finishes with great narrative resources to the story of The Evil Within. Presenting a more action oriented gameplay than The Assignment, this DLC is a must play for everyone who enjoyed the main game.

    This new venture into the terrifying world of The Evil Within is a pretty scary ride. The story leaves us with a lot of unsolved questions, and the gameplay stresses the survival component of the game. Overall, a nice addition that fans of Mikami will surely enjoy.

    The surreal story shines over a well-known gameplay scheme. Is not revolutionary, but it will fully satisfy fans wondering what the heck happened in Beacon.

    An obvious must have for those who have cleared The Assignment and are eager to continue the story, but if you aren't in that position, you might want to wait for a probable 'ultimate' edition later this year.

    Despite some annoying issues, The Consequence is an engaging slice of DLC to complement The Evil Within's twisted game world.

    Although it creates a few loose ends while tying up others, The Consequence offers more of the same stealthy scares while boasting a few impressive and memorably freaky boss battles.

    Once the clunky stealth controls of The Consequence are married to the less than cooperative camera, all that’s left is an idea that never seems to come into proper fruition. What does exist is a frustrating experience that had some potential. Unfortunately, it takes more than potential to make something worthwhile.

It takes what worked in the main game and builds on those foundations to deliver a well-paced, nerve-racking experience. If you have yet to play the DLC, do yourself a favour and do so. You will find yourself making sense of little things that before were senseless and appreciating what little remains of the survival horror genre.
