    The Evil Within sembra essere il figlio illegittimo della più famosa saga "Resident Evil". Un survival horror che non è solo scare jump.

Impersonando i panni del detective Castellanos ci si avventura in un mistero dove niente sembra essere quello che è. Alcuni ambienti portano a semplici, forse troppo, enigmi da risolvere. Ma queste situazioni sono in linea con i survival horror più datati. I comuni nemici sono divertenti da affrontare, sia silenziosamente che a viso aperto. La difficoltà è alta e costringerà il giocatore a trovare ogni risorsa possibile per andare avanti. Alcuni boss invece fin troppo simili tra loro. Il forte tributo voluto da Shinji Mikami alla saga Capcom si sente, ma non scade nel "plagio" ma bensì nell'"omaggio". D'altra parte chi se non lui poteva arrogarsene il diritto?… Expand

    Start by playing on any difficulty, deactivating the black bars and maybe lower the film grain to 50%.
    Start by NOT upgrading stamina more than once; MAX OUT Matches and Pistol Ammo Stock and upgrade Pistol sway twice as well as Melee. Skip upgrading weapon damage and various health stats etc.
    Save A LOT in the beginning on different saves and replay Chapter 3 a lot since the village has A LOT of stuff going on.
    Learn how to sprint effectively on low stamina, shoot enemies in the legs, melee, throw bottles in the head, crouch and finish, etc.
    I recommend getting the Japanese lightly censored version on PS4 digitally from Japanese PSN since the gory death scenes can become a nuisance. It has both Japanese and English Audio and Subtitles. The game is made to be played in 30 fps with DualShock4. You get a decent stable 30 fps on either PS4 Pro or PS5.
    The DLC is very unique and sadly a bit expensive outside US and thus many people skips on it. Only on US PSN they sell a combo of both game and DLC often very cheap.
    To all the people complaining on the graphics which often looks great and sometimes a bit too much PS360: The Evil Within released on PS3 and 360 also! So there you have it!    … Expand

    It starts a bit weak, and chapter 3 is pretty dam hard as well to finnish, but the more you play and understand the story, the better it get's, but they just did it in a really messy and confusing way but did made the end story way better creating your own conspiricy in your head.

    gameplay is clunky but it's good gameplay, I enjoyed them game after beating chapter 3

    We are in June 2022 and no doubt The Evil Within is the best horror game made since Resident Evil 4 (not counting remakes, as RE2).

    There's a lot of unique enemies (really, that's too much) and which one of them will make you bristle your hair.

    TEW have a atmosphere of subtle horror that reminds me of Alan Wake sometimes, and that's a really good point.

    The combat is fluid and the variety of weapons is interesting. The bad point in it is the very few use to the matches.

    If you have a little experience in any horror or shoot game, you should go for a higher difficult. I've finished my first play with a absurd arsenal not used, once I was saving for hard battles.

    And talking about this, my rating for this game is not a 10 because of two points:
    - A ridiculously easy final battle;
    - A poor char building.    … Expand

I really thought this game would not be for me after watching a short clip of the game, but gave it a go as it was free through ps now and it’s become one of my favourite games I’ve played to date. Honestly would recommend. The graphics ain’t the best but you forget about that after 30 minutes into the story. Never understood why this game franchise didn’t sell as well as it has. It’s a really really good game. Highly recommend that you play this then play evil within 2 as well, which is just as good and don’t think you will be disappointed.… Expand

    Но атмосфера здесь все же отличается от RE, игра дарит довольно уникальное ощущение трипа, смеси кошмара наяву, галлюцинаций, обрывков реальности, бреда из фобий и страхов, всё в классных пропорциях, запутанная история, классические персонажи, гораздо жестче и острей RE7, и с хорошим масштабом и бюджетом, что не так уже часто сейчас встречается в подобном жанре.

    И при этом это все еще классный боевик. Спасибо авторам, за то что продолжают дарить нам такие приключения. Прошел с удовольствием. 9/10.    … Expand

    The dark and gloomy style of this game I love, as it should be a horror game, everything is very well designed enemies, creatures, bosses and especially the return. It is worth it and above all the difficulty is well done, especially the Akumu Mode.

    Una entrega de 8.5 para arriba. La estética, el diseño de niveles y la ambientación son sublimes, y más teniendo en cuenta la época de lanzamiento. Presenta un punto de terror más intenso que su secuela, y aunque jugablemente es más tosco, merece mucho la adquisición de esta obra de arte.

    Mención añadida merecen sus DLC, ambos complementan la experiencia de manera sublime.

    A refreshing survival horror after the resident evil 6 mess, some of the scenarios feels downgraded but works ok

    Totally recommended. Real horror survival (although linear).
    Each encounter creates sense of helplessness.
    Better than Evil Within 2 and few Resident Evil franchise

    Credo che il periodo nel quale sono stato immerso nell'atmosfera malata di questo gioco e nella mente dell'ideatore, coincida con il periodio nel quale ho partorito le più variegate bestemmie. Un gran bel titolo, peccato per la situazione checkpoint

    It's not a perfect game. It's not the game with the best graphics or with the best scenario. But it's the game you won't forget for long time.
    First part of game I was thing what is going and even after beating it I'm not sure what it was but it was definitely cool.

    As a drawback I could point low FPS on PS4 Pro but it's even made gameplay more atmospheric. Who knows how it works in STEM ? :)

    Game is a mess, a wonderful crazy horror mess.
    I enjoyed the difficulty of this game and I think it's sad that they removed the matches aboty on the next game.

    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

    Some critics say the game is unfair and hard to make sense of the story; they either had little time to play it or lack the skills and intellilgence to get through the game and make sense of it. Sure, the controls can be a bit wonky and the frame rates drop some times, but this can easily be overlooked a little considering it only adds to the fear of the game.

At its core, the game is very intense and terrifying and you feel emerged with the character. It never seems to drag and rarely are you frustrated with the difficulty while it still presents a challenge. While it's narrative driven, you feel like you have choices and there is a lot you cam miss with collectibles and a fun upgrade system and crafting parts. It is a mix of Last of Us, Silent Hill and Resident Evil with a nice spin of its owm. This is my opinion of course.… Expand

    First off i would like to say that the developers did a great job on designing this game. This was my first legit horror game i have played in a long time and let me say this was by far the most difficult and frustrating game i have ever played. I died 199 times and played it on survival mode. The chapters i had the most difficulty with was chapter 7, 10 and 15.

This was my first legit horror game i have played in a long time and let me say this was by far the most difficult and frustrating game i have ever played. I died 199 times and played it on survival mode. The chapters i had the most difficulty with was chapter 7, 10 and 15. I died the most in those chapters. In a couple chapters towards the end of the game you are able to use a mounted turret which is totaling satisfying as throughout the whole game you are scrambling to find any ammo, but when you are on that turret you don't have to worry about running out of ammo as you just aim and let her rip. Anyways here are my likes and dislikes of the game:

    Likes:
    -The game as a whole is a mind altering adventure, literally.

    Dislikes:
    - Camera angles get wonky a little bit during combat.
    - The save system is a total let down as i would be 15 or more minutes into a chapter and making good progress and next thing you know i die and then i have to restart all over again which is a huge letdown and VERY FRUSTRATING!!
    - The sprinting in this game just sucks. Who gets tired of running after 8 sec. An enemy would literally be chasing me and next you know my guy stopped to take a breather. I am like ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!!!
    - After dying you have to re-search for the green gel, ammo, etc that you accumulated before dying which got annoying.
    - Lack of ammo was my biggest thing which is why i kept dying because most of my deaths occurred in boss fights and during those fights is when i needed more ammo, but didn't have it so i had to get creative. I guess i can blame it on the difficulty i had it on.

    Considering how extremely frustrated i got during this game i still thought it was a great game, but dam was it FRUSTRATING. When i play Evil Within 2 i am putting the difficulty on easy. It was just too much to deal with at times on survival mode.    … Expand

    The Evil Within is a special game, it has a great plot but due to bad story telling it can't shine, the game play is your average third-person over the shoulder goodness.

    Fantastic!!! Shinji Mikami should be proud into making something so original. The Evil Within has so much to offer and it shows on how an actually survival horror is made.

I also didn't like that there was a few scenarios when facing the invisible enemies, there were was so many prefect times where those enemies could cause the player trouble and panic at the appropriate situation, and Sometimes some areas enemies can catch too easily and you get a cheap death. I adore the box head boss, that was very creative. So far, a great way to show that exploring dark dank environments, and I say this is a really good game.… Expand

    The Evil Within is a one-of-a-kind game. It blends many elements from past and current survival horror titles into an unforgettable experience. The interesting atmosphere and story, the varied areas and bosses. The combat is a bit clunky though and the traps sprinkled in every area may take a bit to get used to. If you can look past the few gameplay flaws, you'll have a blast.
