    One of my favorite games of all time, directed by Shinji Mikami.

    One thing for sure, Capcom took some idea from this game to make RE Revelations 2 like crouching, stealth, throwing bottles.

Players should expect a steep learning curve. To put it in perspective, I died more than 50 times before I reached the end of this intense 16 + hour game.

    For those who have played RE 4 and "The Last of Us", the mechanics will seem familiar. As Detective Sebastian Castellanos, you will have to use stealth, booby traps and various firearms to defeat the hordes of monstrosities that populate the world. Every dead enemy leaves behind "green gel" which can be used to upgrade combat abilities and weapons. There are also several collectibles to discover such documents, newspaper clippings and audio tapes. As far as the presentation is concerned, the game is best played in the letterbox format. While "The Evil Within" is not one of the Xbox One's best looking titles, its diverse environments are always visually arresting. Unfortunately, the controls aren't as smooth as they should be.

    Overall, fans of the genre should enjoy "Evil Within". It relies too much on established tropes and lacks polish, but it is never boring. I've played through it twice and wouldn't mind going on a third trip. Stylish and trippy, this is a game that deserves its cult audience. I'd rate it with an 8.3 out of 10.    … Expand

    Clunky unreliable controls. Light an enemy on fire...it might be instantaneous or it might be a 5s animation during which you die. Then you have to do 3 minutes of loot pickups and bomb disarmals to get back to the clunky fight again. Prepare to do this about 100 times. Sound fun?

    Si hay algo que reprochar a este juego es la pelea final, el diseño del monstruo y el escenario son brutales pero la ejecución deja muchísimo que desear debido a lo corta y fácil que termina siendo tomando en cuenta que la travesía del juego es bastante complicada por si sola.

    Sjajan miks Resident Evil serijala i Alan Wake igre. Atmosfera u igri je dočarana porpilično dobro. Iako nisam ljubitelj horor naslova, moram priznati da sam itekako uživao u ovoj igri. Verovatno zbog toga što igra ima dozu mističnosti u svojoj priči, tačnije nije običan jumpscare tip horora, već se igrač mora udubiti u istu i sklapati kockice u svojoj glavi.

    The fact that it's not remotely scary and just some same overused gore tropes is not even the worst thing.
    It feels like one of those times when you spend the evening watching 0.99$ DVD you notice at a bargain bin and remember how you've heard some one raving about how good it is and 15 minutes in you realise why it was in the bargain bin and that you've paid    What a load of bland tripe..

And we do nothing more than put the cake in the center when the first paranormal events begin to happen: a mysterious hooded figure annihilates the police, sharp beeps, pain and soon after, unconsciousness.

Et comme chacun le sait, un gros éditeur peut éditer de vraies calamités à l'insu de son ignorance (tout le monde peut se tromper).

    Donc, ce jeu innommable est développé par un ancien de Capcon (développeur-étron bien connu) et son équipe de bras cassés, Tango Gameworks. Cette pauvre tanche est le responsable de quelques Resident Evil passés et dépassés et quoi qu'on en dise, on ne se refait pas -à moins d'un miracle ou d'une illumination peu probable- et un con reste un con.

    Voici un TPS très residentévilien qui présente toutes les caractéristiques de ce qu'il ne faut pas faire en matière de jeu vidéo, à savoir une jouabilité bancale qui ne fait que mettre des bâtons dans les roues de la manette et une maniabilité à revoir entièrement. Une sauvegarde automatique tous les 36 du mois côtoie des sortes de zombis qui ne disent pas leur nom sur lesquels il faut viser la tête au pixel près : autant dire que lorsque la précision des armes est aussi alarmante, on peut aller se faire foutre ; le corps-à-corps pour sa part est inexploitable et la discrétion est ingérable.

    En effet, le personnage que l'on contrôle est une brêle épouvantable, incapable de courir 3 mètres et qui marche accroupi comme une vieille tortue sénile. Il ne sait pas viser, ce qui n'arrange pas les affaires de ses armes à la balistique complètement naze. Il est fragile comme du cristal, une vraie chocotte : un coup et il est presque mort, le second, il passe l'arme à gauche. Et en plus, il prend tout l'écran ce gros con. En outre, le désamorçage des bombes est un gros GTE de merde (vachement crédibles, ces bombes clignotantes dans ce monde de zombis !).

    Les niveaux sont mal faits et la direction artistique est tout sauf artistique : une autre façon de dire que le jeu est bien moche en plus de s'avérer techniquement faiblard sans oublier des temps de chargement assez éloquents. En dehors de ces zombis pourris, un gros boss enragé vient de temps en temps vous courir après (c'est scripté) : ultra-vénère, il résiste aux explosifs, au poison, au calibre 12... à tout. Et il vous suit partout. Supeeer.

    Quelle saloperie d'archi-grosse merde infernale ! Bon, ça me fait quand même un beau boîtier tout neuf de secours. Et un frisbee pour jouer avec mon kangourou.    … Expand

Its a special kind of game that will throw you into a massive challenging area with little to no resources at your disposal. If anyone remembers the village portion at the beginning of RE4, then imagine that on steroids and you have The Evil Within. The game scares and rewards players with determination and bravery with a currency system that will allow you to level up and upgrade a vast amount of items and passive abilities. The story can get a little confusing but when you're having fun being scared by the twisted monsters you'll face whats it matter? Seriously give it a try it should be dirt cheap now!… Expand

    This isn’t going to be pretty
    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 crazy…
    I don’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 up…
    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 didn’t stay this great…
    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 aren’t able to run…
    But a bit like the game alone in the dark you have weapons here… 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 bow…
    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 challenge…
    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 further…
    The games initial near perfect progression crumbles and stumbles to a crawl…
    Made worse by this games awful checkpoint and autosave system…
    The game wont constantly autosave once you find an important item…
    And again there are cheap instakill enemies and moments in this game…
    They are sometimes completely random, they’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 spawn…
    And also again… the 2nd half of this game is focused more on anxiety than it is horror..
    its not fun replaying these anxiety filled moments
    They aren’t even fun the first time…
    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 fest…
    The game would freeze on my a couple of times causeing me to resatart it… 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 bug…
    That’s right… 3 years later… a Bethesda game (go figure) still has a game breaking bug…
    I did play the ps3 version of this game and thought that’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 wouldn’t let me progress the game..
    I was an hr deep and nothing I did helped, shutting down the game, reloading checkpoints..
    dying.. nothing… the game wouldn’t let me progress…
    The only thing keeping me from just giving this game a 0 and walking away is that restarting the chapter could’ve probably let me continue.. but once more..
    the 2nd half of this game is filled of anxiety, frustration and cheapness…
    I wasn’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 game…
    I give the Evil Within
    a very generous

    "The Evil Within" doesn't set the standard for modern survival horror. In fact, it's probably best described as a throwback to earlier games of the genre.

So it's safe to say that if you liked those two franchises I mentioned, than you'll have a hell of a time playing through "The Evil Within". It's fun. But for those who want an evolution of the genre, you'll most likely be bored. This is a game that uses familiar action-adventure tropes, but does throw the occasional curveball such as one-hit deaths.

    The story of "The Evil Within" is a convoluted mess that makes little sense, its characters are devoid of any real type of personality and the game contains a few bugs. This is the bad side of the game. On the good side are the creepy environments, scary villains and the gore galore. If you were disappointed with the action movie feel of "Resident Evil 6", than you'll be pleased to know that "Evil Within" never goes in that direction. Yes, this is a horror-themed action game from beginning to end, but the horror element is emphasized for the most part. In away, the game feels like a spiritual sequel to "Resident Evil 4" in its gameplay. Not only can you upgrade weapons and abilities, but you can also set traps, stealth kill and craft different trick arrows. If you discover keys and puzzle pieces, you'll be rewarded with a special weapon and extra "upgrade" points and special ammo.

    "The Evil Within" also features many newspaper clippings and files that contain backstory in the vein of "Resident Evil". Unfortunately (just like "Resident Evil 4), it concludes with more action than you'd like, but until then, it's a grisly and grotesque affair. It may not be too scary, but "The Evil Within" contains enough of the creepy stuff to keep you on your toes. It's what "Resident Evil 5" could've been.    … Expand

    En momentos es aburrido, en otros es confuso y en algunos desesperante, llega el momento en que deseas que termine el capítulo con tal de apagar la consola e ir a dormir. Lags, bugs y bajones de frames continuos.
    Lástima, pudo ser algo mucho mejor.    … Expand

    Old fashioned in all the right ways (and some wrong ones too). [Issue#255, p.60]

    The Evil Within is less genre-defining and is instead more of a spiritual successor - one that relives past glories rather than seeks out new ones. [Issue#118, p.73]

    The Evil Within isn’t a return to the genre’s roots or a reinvention, but an exercise in reliving its greatest hits. It’s disappointing that Mikami has lost the wind behind his sails and there seems to be genuine creative apathy here. Nonetheless, The Evil Within is an enjoyable horror romp. It’s a shame it couldn’t be more.
