I started “The Evil Within” a couple days back.
It’s not a bad game, though I’m kind of let down in some aspects. The games difficult, which isn’t bad, but it seems rather overbearingly difficult. Almost like they tried too hard to make it hard on players. The animations aren’t all that great, particularly your movement as the character. Youre extremely limited on how you can approach situations with enemies, either you sneak past them and hope that you can use your knife from behind, or you’ll get caught, waste ammo trying to kill them, run, hide, rinse, repeat. Your forward melee is useless as all shit, stunning enemies with one blow and leaving you open to any attack thereafter.
It’s good qualities are a fairly nice atmosphere, a nice RE4 feel, good tension at the right time, and while still overly difficult, it’s a nice challenge (until it gets old constantly getting caught and having little options on how to deal with enemies).
I give it a 7.5/10
