Product Description

Developed by Shinji Mikami – creator of the seminal Resident Evil series – and the talented team at Tango Gameworks, The Evil Within embodies the meaning of pure survival horror. Experience a disturbing reality as you try to break free from warped machinations that could only exist in the most horrifying worlds. Face twisted creatures and experience true terror, all heightened by cutting edge lighting and animation made possible by a customised version of the id Tech 5 engine.

While investigating the scene of a gruesome mass murder, Detective Sebastian Castellanos and his partners encounter a mysterious and powerful force. After seeing the slaughter of fellow officers, Sebastian is ambushed and knocked unconscious. When he awakens, he finds himself in a deranged world where hideous creatures wander among the dead. Facing unimaginable terror, and fighting for survival, Sebastian embarks on a frightening journey to unravel what's behind this evil force.

Pure survival horror returns

Shinji Mikami, the father of survival horror, is back to direct a chilling new game wrapped in haunting narrative. Tension and anxiety heighten dramatically as you explore the game's tortured world. You'll have limited resources at your disposal as you fight for your survival and experience profound fear in this perfect blend of horror and action.

Brutal traps and twisted creatures

Face unthinkable horrors and cruel traps as you struggle to survive against overwhelming odds. Turn evil against itself by using the same diabolical devices against overwhelming deadly creatures.

Unknown threats in an uncertain world

Mysterious and wicked fears loom ahead in a world that warps and twists around you. Corridors, walls, doors, and entire buildings change in real time, ensnaring players in a reality where threats can appear at any time and from any direction.

The new face of horror

Highly crafted environments, horrifying anxiety, and an intricate story weave together to create an immersive world that will bring players to the height of tension. Defeat insurmountable terror and experience the ultimate thrill by discovering The Evil Within.

The Evil Within is scary. I never start a review with straight out statements like these, but this game deserves it. A lot of games are scary, but few are both scary and good. The Evil Within is one of the few titles which combines both, and that is the reason why I am so compelled to play it even though I know I will just piss myself upon turning on the game.

The game opens up in Beacon Mental Hospital, where there is blood everywhere and also a few corpses laying around. Upon reuniting with an investigation committee, the group meet and check out security camera footage, where something seems to assault multiple cops at once before it teleports behind Sebastian, our hero, and attacks him. Sebastian then wakes up in a butcher store, and this is where he gets in contact with these evil beings for the first time. After escaping from the butcher in a couple of rooms, you enter a lift which takes you back to the mental hospital you made your arrival into, and exiting triggers the initial cutscene, complete with an introduction video, accompanied by spooky music, just to set the mood.

The Evil Within racks up momentum from now on, giving you everything you need on your ventures and then throwing you to the unforgiving environment. As one observes from early on, the enemies are not your usual undead zombies, but rather human beings which have been mutated, probably affected by a disease or something. While you do get a revolver very early on in the game, the ammunition is very limited, and melee punches feel like they do not deal any damage at all, suggesting running is a very good option in the face of danger. The game’s hints while loading also says this, and coming from the game itself means it does have sense of it.

I have found The Evil Within to be an immensely satisfying experience, with some major caveats. If you like Resident Evil, particularly no. 4, you should like this game. The game can be initially quite difficult and feel unfair until you master the mechanics and then it can be quite satisfying completing the more challenging stages, which require a bit of thought and planning. I'm not convinced its a classic "horror" game as such but it can be intense and pulsating. Some of the imagery is strikingly original and it's use of lighting in particular causes a wonderfully haunting atmosphere. Furthermore, it's quite a long game and for a single player story driven game, you get plenty of bang for your buck. On the other hand it does tend to rely more on sheer violence than genuine horror to shock, and the placement of checkpoints seems to be ill thought out and can lead to unnecessary frustration. The worst problem, however, is the quality of the port. While a 60fps option has been patched in, it is difficult for even the most powerful of machines to sustain that pace and even the 30fps mode can be blighted with hideous stuttering which persists regardless of resolution or graphical settings. I managed to smooth out performance completely by disabling core parking in Windows 7 and as a result performance and stability was rock solid, but users shouldn't have to go tinkering with stuff like this just to get a game running adequately. This is a pity as many may abandon the game early on as a result of the technical frustrations but it is worth persevering with.

I expect it plays ok on consoles but it is not for the PC. It runs an id engine, the same one used in Rage, so no SLI/ Crossfire support and average graphics, framerate is locked a 30fps, mouse sensitivity is just broken and nearly half the screen is black bars for a massive 2.5 ratio widescreen.
There are numerous clipping errors (walking halfway into a wall or other object).

Wait for it to hit the bargain bin it will be there very soon for PC.

2 stars as the game is ok but the port is bad.

I've been playing 'The Evil Within' for a few days now and actually feel pretty compelled to get on here and give it a review, which isn't something that happens all that often.

I have to admit that I don't follow the release of games as fervently as I used to - I don't buy gaming magazines and rely pretty heavily on offers from digital platforms such as Steam to get my games, so I had only vaguely heard of this game and had no idea of the talent behind it. It wasn't until I was talking to a colleague about games (sparked off by a conversation about the terrifying 'Alien: Isolation' and other survival horror titles) that he mentioned 'The Evil Within' and the name Shinji Mikami and gushed about how great it was. Which obviously made me rush home and purchase it!

If your response to the name 'Shinji Mikami' is 'who?', then... Ok, I'll fill you in; Shinki Mikami is the genius game designer behind the 'Resident Evil' series of games and the man who pretty much single-handedly invented the survival horror genre, sparking the release of excellent games such as 'Silent Hill', 'Fatal Frame' and various others. While it's true that the Resident Evil series has had a few peaks and troughs over the course of several (six now) releases, nothing has really captured the lightning-in-a-bottle brilliance of the fourth game in the series, which is a truly astounding experience to play through. If you are reading this and have never played it, I cannot urge you enough to try and get a hold of it! Although 'The Evil Within' is not a 'Resident Evil'-related title, you can feel the influence of Mikami's genius flowing through the game - and this is a very, very good thing indeed.
