Aug 28, 2023One 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.

Hyper MagazineDec 2, 2014Old fashioned in all the right ways (and some wrong ones too). [Issue#255, p.60]

X-ONE Magazine UKDec 2, 2014The 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]

Nov 17, 2014The 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.
