"Shinji Mikami returns to the genre that defined him, but the result is a jumbled mess of ideas that never quite come together."

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 t… Read more

Truly Evil

Before directing The Evil Within , the last horror game Shinji Mikami had directed or been involved with was the undeniable classic Resident Evil 4 in 2005 – not counting (the awesome!) Shadows Of The… Read more

Alternate Title: ArbitraryWater versus Grindhouse Bootleg Resident Evil and its barbed-wire friends Though the Metacritic stands at a respectable 75, I’d say the general reception of The Evil Within w… Read more

A Stellar Illustration Of Generic Survival Horror

Sometimes it feels unfair to judge a game based on promises from the outside, that the game itself on the box doesn't promote... However the fact that it was "developed" by Shinji Mikami being a promi… Read more

The Evil Within

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… Read more

Several flaws tarnish what should have been a great action-horror game

I'm a pretty big Mikami fan (Resident Evil 1&4) as well as a diehard survival-horror fan (mainly SH and RE) so I was really looking forward to this one. However, opinions on this game are as polar… Read more

The Evil Within.

This was my first survival horror and liked it. The story is quite good, ma there is a awsome atmosphere. Techically its has highs and low but in general its is a very good. The Playstation 4 version… Read more

An unpolished pile of garbage

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 tog… Read more

Horror Comes Home

Video Review When Shinji Mikami was revealed to be working within the horror genre once again it got a lot of people excited. And rightly so. The man has worked on arguably the two greatest horror gam… Read more

Shinji Mikami Would Like You to Once Again Enter a World of Survival Horror.

It’s rather difficult to talk about The Evil Within without mentioning Resident Evil 4 . After all, the games share a director along with a selection of other similarities despite a tonal shift and a… Read more

Death Is Your Only And True Friend In The Evil Within

I don't know about you guys, but this year has been very interesting for me gaming wise. It seems that every game I got excited for was either mediocre or completely disappointing, whereas the games I… Read more

While archaic and occasionaly clunky, The Evil Within is still a tense and memorable survival horror experience

“You have an odour of blood about you” chimes the nurse, but she doesn’t know the half of it. I’m safe now, though, in this… place . I’m still not quite sure what to make of it yet, drawn to its where… Read more

The Evil Within sets the new current standard for the pure survival-horror genre .

I came into The Evil Within knowing almost nothing about it , other than "It's the new Shinji Mikami game " ! Which got me excited , especially for a long time survival-horror fan like myself . Tango… Read more

The Evil Within Playing.

So, let me start by saying I love survival horror, I consider Resident evil 1-4 and Silent Hill 1 - 3 to be genuinely great, scary and enjoyable experiences. I say this just to let you know I was real… Read more

Resident Evil Within.

The Evil Within is a wonderful thing. While it unfortunately isn't quite a return to the survival horror of old, it at least makes for a brilliant blending of the then and now. It involves a lot of th… Read more
