    It was ok (from what I remember in 2017)

    I stole this review from my steam review I wrote in 2017. But to add, it is an ok game. Not amazing, but ok. If it is on sale, it is worth a look. But, not at full price.

    It feels like somebody read the wikipedia article for Resident Evil 4, and decided they could do that too. But they never actually played it, and never watched anybody else play it. It is a good looking game, but it is, often, frustrating, and annoying with some of its level design, and world building. One of the nice things about RE4, was that you knew what was going on. The plot moved and such. But in this game, I don't know what is going on. I know I am making progress because the game is moving forward, and cut scenes are happening. But beyond that, I have no idea what is going on, and that is not instilling a sense of dread in me. I just find this game confusing, and not super fun. I had to turn the difficulty setting down. And the mele attack. Even at full strength, it does not damage from what I can tell. And the loading screen hints even recommend using it as a last resort. So, if you are out of amo, you are done, which happens alot. Head shots don't kill the enemies. So getting more head shots don't do much.

      The game is interesting and obviously intense..It swallows you deeper with every chapter, the feeling in your stomach when walking down the 'empty' hallway and simmilar.. It has zero positivity, it's all dark and negative, always having the feeling you dont have a chance of 'making it out' alive. But that's what makes it outstanding. You have to beet the odds, and they are all against you .Shinji Mikami has done a great job, as well as the others who were involved in the game creation. Mix of ho...

      An unpolished pile of garbage 0

      The Evil Within is not a good game. There are plenty of decent game mechanics here, since it uses the cookie-cutter survival horror mechanics of exploring/shooting/looting, but it is so poorly put together that it is a complete waste of time. Here is a list of things that ruined the game for me:One or two save points per chapter mean you are relying on the game's autosaves most of the time. And the autosave locations are garbage. You will have to redo entire sections if you die just before ...
