The Evil Within.

Did you like it? It seems people have a lot of mixed opinions about it.

I like it! It was pretty fun.

A poor man's RE4. It had some good moments but I couldn't even bring myself to finish it, and I've finished some truly awful games.

I found it to be a fun game and I don't really like horror games. I thought the gameplay could be improved abit but the atmosphere and enemies were cool. I didn't finish the game due to things I didn't like about the gameplay aspects but that is just me. I would say it is worth a rental.

Atmosphere was done right so well, but the gameplay is good enough just a little... meh. Feels like there were some cheap deaths and I felt the need to constantly save over and over lol. I definitely felt a great sense of dread every time I've booted up the game, but it also feels like it drags on a bit and I'm only on chapter 7, basically a horde of normal goonies come and ambush you and soon enough your bullets are gone and then bam "boss fight" and then the chapter just keeps going... and going... and going. At least, that's how I felt for chapters 5 and 6. The story is bleh, just there to be there, but not the worst I've ever seen. Characters are bland and also feel there just to be there outside of the main protagonist.

Way better than RE4

Amazing game. getting a headshot is so satisfying.

my second playthrough was hardest difficulty (Akumu) with no upgrades and it was frustrating and cheap at parts but i perfected the gunplay.

One of the best survivor horror this gen but far far from perfect. To many cheap deaths, long loading screen, narrow field of view and bad optimization... Oh and stupid story

@Ballroompirate: True but I'd give it 7.5 at best because it was aping way too many games in a derivative way, although it had quite a few good moments and ideas.

Better then that shitty Resident Evil 6. The Evil Within was really fun when I played it on PS4.

Yeah, namely Resident Evil 4, but not nearly as tight.

No desire to play it, i'll just play RE4 again.

Also the game is hideous.

The man who made it boasting no real survival horror exists, and all the young people saying "oh oh oh, Resident Evil isn't very good".

Then reality, it was a poor Resident Evil. Resident Evil 4/5/Rev/Rev2, all better.

I predicated this. Very impressive.

By the end of the game I liked it quite a bit, although there was a little bit of an enjoyment barrier early on the first time I played it. I must have done like three play-throughs to date.

One of the most nagging issues with the game is the stupid black bars, but the game is such a blast that once I got into it I barely noticed. The game engine was pretty shit, but the game is still a blast.

I'm not sure if I'll ever get around to the DLC ever, I mean I'd like to, but man there's too much on my backlist, to much to play in the future, not enough time.

Overall, it's a decent game with quite a few rough edges. It's not that expensive now either, so if you're debating whether to play it or not, go find out yourself. I feel in the end that bang for your buck always leaves an impression Admittedly, I got the game for $25 during last Black Friday, so good deal for me, so I wasn't that hard to please.

It looked alright, may play it later.

I really liked it, but the game's saving system is f*cked up. Sometimes save points are separated between each other by TWO hours of gameplay. I wanted to smash things around me when after 2 hours of gameplay I couldn't figure out how to beat level's boss and as a result I lost 2 hours of gameplay - really rage inducing shit there. Cool graphics, cool combat and cool story though.

I played it quite recently and rather enjoyed it, thought it was a refreshing challenge, was mostly fun to play, and has good atmosphere and enemy designs. The story was crap and the characters even worse are the biggest gripes I have

Resident Evil 4 and Revelations 2 are much better.

It was great, It wasn't Resident Evil, but it was more Resident Evil than Resident Evil 6.

@moistcarrot:

The game was looking real good and the beginnings of the game was great. Until I started to encounter monster. After playing Shadow of Mordor and nearly finishing it, the stealth of The Evil Within was not really good to not say boring. Also, I had hard time to pass the first part while I'm killing like 25 orcs in less than a minutes at Shadow of Mordor. Maybe I could have try more and found out a way to play the stealth part of this game.

The only part of RE4 I didn't like was when you'd enter a huge area and end up spending 15 minutes just breaking crates and picking up stuff. From what I've played so far, this game has plenty of that, but it's even worse because it's so dark and the textures are dull. And also the stuff you find is never exciting. I stopped about 5 minutes into chapter 3, that was last week, might try again soon.

Good Game

Actually I think the most annoying aspect of the game is that the sneak ability is practically utterly useless unless used on the typical enemy type. Like literally, there are scripted sections where they just automatically know you're there or enemies you can't stab or enemies that barely take any damage from a backstab. Like what is the point really? I mean I want to conserve my ammo and then it throws scripted hordes at me. >:l

I have enjoyed what I have played so far, enough to get the season pass which I rarely ever do. I do love Mikami's work so I had to pick it up.

It did some things well and some things pretty fucking badly. I really hated the episodic nature of the game, was really hoping for something a bit more coherent like RE 4, but that definitely wouldn't have fit in with the games crazy fucking story.

Also I stopped playing it once I reached the city sections, I'll pick it up again someday but I just lost interest after the garage boss battle.

I played it and then I got stuck on chapter 2 or was that 3 I can't remember anyway I kept dying a lot and I started to lose my patience with the game so in the end I traded it in but I might get the game but I don't know when.

Its okay main character not as cool as Leon & not as flowy as RE4 ..plus his movement animation looks weird..& he can't run for shit..probably because he smokes too much. :P

Been thinking about getting it on PC but the mixed reviews make me unsure.

Shinji never disappoints me. Vanquish, RE4, Evil Within, all good games. Don't know why some people complain about controls being bad or game being too hard. Maybe they want to ADS with aim assists COD style xD.

Those hordes are there to eliminate your ammo advantage. Forcing the player to save ammo doesn't work if you allow them to stockpile it as well.

@moistcarrot: the atmosphere was great, same with the shooting and combat. Iloved the first few hours with its re4 feel.

I coukdnt stand when they started adding invisible enemies that u could only see when they cross a puddle. That got frustrating and annoying.

Tje story.was also shit. I was hopeing for a.silent.hill type story where the unknown is your greatest enemy, but instead.we got all campy.cheesy.comic book style story.

So many things were right, but taken down with cheesey story and frustrating enemies. Oh and tje weapons rocked!
