Its been close to a decade since this gem came out and what a game it was/is. Shinji Makami is a true Horror game master, the man really knows how to make a good horror game. The gameplay is linear with plenty of options to upgrade your weapons, story is suspenseful and keeps you hooked throughout, the atmosphere is eerie from the get go and the bosses are perhaps the best in terms of design and creepiness(Laura and the Keeper being the best of the lot). The main protagonist Sebastian Castellanos is not very interesting, actually the games antagonist Ruvik is more impactful . I played this game recently and it holds really well, infact better than most recent horror games. If you haven't played it yet, I highly recommend you do so.

The Evil Within is a thrilling survival horror game that excels in creating a terrifying atmosphere and delivering visually stunning environments. The gameplay is intense, with resource management and nerve-wracking encounters that keep players on edge. However, stiff controls can feel clunky in tight situations, and the difficulty sometimes spikes unpredictably, leading to frustration. The story, while intriguing, is layered with complex elements that may confuse some players. Despite these flaws, the game's ability to evoke fear and maintain suspense is exceptional, making it a must-play for horror enthusiasts. With its immersive world and challenging gameplay, The Evil Within earns a strong 8.5/10.

This game takes limbo and dips it into acid, making it more crazy.

The Evil Within was the most over hyped horror game of this year, everybody wouldn't stop talking about this game, just like Watch Dogs and Destiny. Then the game started to got negative response from some people when it came out. I got to be honest I didn't know this game existed until my friend brought it up to me and I started to get curious about it so I watched some of the game-play from TheRadBrad and I got a little but interested, now I played and beaten the game I can happily say that I enjoyed this game.

The game play in this game feels like a good come back to the good all days of survival horror. I always like little details in games and this game has many to share with it's horror parts, like every time I come to a new area I will normally find dead bodies on the ground, bullet holes all over the wall and the sense of me going deeper into limbo and slowing fading away from reality.

The graphs may look old version and out dated for some people and that's the biggest problem that people had, but I actually thought the old looking graphs fit the game perfectly, because has I said before this game is like a big tribute to classic survival and if the game is going to do that, it's got to look like one.

The boss fights in the game are challenging to the point were I almost pulled my hair out by the hard boss fights, but the game what's to challenge you and tries not to make it easy and when you do kill the boss you feel a bad-ass and a sense of relief, and I can't fault the game for doing that.

The main character of the game has to be the most blandest person on the face of earth. He's like the perfect cop that can't get hurt because his the perfect bad-ass kind of person, oh and his only dialogue in the game is, "Hum?" or "What the-", and let's not forget "WOW".

The dialogue in the game to me could had some re-writes, because most of the character's dialogue is just them reacting to anything with one, two or three words spoken out of them.

Overall The Evil Within is enjoyable game for me, in my opinion better than Watch Dogs. The game give me good memories of other horror games that truly scared me years ago and I got to give the game that. People may disagree on me about this and that's fine, but don't hate please.

I really enjoyed The Evil Within, a mix between Resident Evil and Silent Hill !

Story: mediocre game play: good, sometimes frustrating graphics and atmosphere: very good characters and voice acting: weak. boss fights: mediocre.

the thing that was most difficult in this game and also furstarting are the freaking traps were too many. yes the **** traps. you can't walk a few seconds without some bomb explode in your face or your legs get stucked in some bear traps. but still enjoyed it, im sure im gonna give it a new try in the future.
