The Evil Within


Recommended Posts

This was only recently revealed and I don't think we'd seen actual gameplay footage until now. New survival-horror game from the creator of Resident Evil, Shinji Mikami. I have to say, it sounds pretty good to me. This one just might be an actual survival-horror game as opposed to an action game with monsters in it. Really looking forward to seeing more of this one.

 

 

Coming out on PC, PS3, PS4, X360, Xbone in 2014.

Anyone played this already? Pretty quiet here...

 

I've played it over the weekend and I must say that I'm very pleased. It can be frustrating at times, since it's all about clunky combat, scarce resources and even the most basic enemies being able to wreck your shit, but I feel like it's all justified within the context of the game. After all, your hero is a cop with drinking problems, so not only fighting hellish monsters isn't exactly his resume, but doing it with shaky hands doesn't make things easier.

 

I love the design, atmosphere, violence, and psyhological elements. But most of all I appreciate it for being a real survival horror and not shooter with horror elements, like Dead Space, or first person adventurer with no combat whatsoever, because there was too much of them already. It's a nice change of pace. It felt like a classic survival horror from the PS2 era, but with modern graphics and gameplay. Anyone else share this sentiment?

 

The only thing that pissed me off was a section fairly late in the game, where

monsters roll out a fucking humvee with mounted machine gun. A little too ridiculous, and incredibly frustrating gameplay-wise. Even though some boss fights can be equally infuriating at least they are tense and scary, this was just unnecessary.
