User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
First of all, this game has issues on modern hardware. It has a broken frame limiter which reduces the framerate regardless of hardware. To fix it you have to add this "+r_swapinterval 0" command to the games's launch options. To do that, open you steam library right click the game and click on the Properties tab, and paste the command (without "") in the Launch Options box. This fixes the frame limiter however the game still has stutter and bad framepacing even if you limit it at 60. To fix this you need to limit the framerate to 60 in MSI Afterburner, using RivaTuner in addition to limiting the "Scanline Sync" option to 60 which is located just beneath the framerate limit option in RIvaTuner. You can also add the "+com_skipIntroVideo 1" command to skip the annoying intro splash screen that plays everytime you boot the game. This game also has noticeable texture pop in in cutscenes, to fix that you need to add the +fs_cachepath "C:\TheEvilWithinCache" (keep the "" at the path this time) command and to create an empty TheEvilWithinCache folder in your C: drive (you can point it toward a different location but this is the simplest and easiest path). The game will then create a 1GB file that saves texture cache after reboots which reduces pop in. Now to the review: This game is directed by Shinji Mikami which means that it has excellent combat (good feedback on hit, fair hitboxes, a variety of combat areas and enemies which interact in interesting ways, etc.) This game also has a very well implemented stealth system which allows you to do stealth kills and use various traps in the stages to your advantage to conserve ammo. The developers expect you to do so which means they don't shower you with countless resources. As a result, you never feel extremely overpowered thorought the entire duration of the game which makes the game more of a Survival Horror game rather than an Action game (unlike the Director's previous game of the same genre, the legendary original Resident Evil 4 which leans more towards action). This interesting blend of stealth and action and the variety of combat scenarios keeps the game fresh throughout the campaign. What isn't fresh, however, are the countless unskippable "press up to go forward" sequences where you can't do anything but walk, boss chases that play out the same way every time, many insta kill segments that occur if you don't immediately figure out what to while you are being chased around and unskippable slow door opening animations in this game's "save rooms". There is also an annoying segment where a boss monster can just spawn randomly and insta kill you if you don't find yourself near a place to hide. All this and many other tiny unskippable cutscenes lessen the replayability of the game which is unfortunate as the game expects you to replay it multiple times as you can unlock extra difficulties and weapons and a new game+ mode. This uneven pacing is a shame as the actual gameplay of the game is top notch. Despite these issues I still recommend experiencing this game as the uniquely well done balance between stealth and action is unmatched. I just wish there was an arcade mode of some sorts that would let you play through only the combat rooms of the game while skipping all other pace killing segments that decrease replayability.
The story is weird, the monsters are horrific, the ammo is always running out, and half the game feels like a fever dream. It's clunky in places, but the atmosphere is incredible and some of the creature designs still live rent-free in my head. I don't know what was happening half the time, but I was having a great time being terrified.
The Evil Within is a horror survival game that is about an investigation of what seems to be mass homocide at Beacon Mental Hospital in Krimson City, but things turn out to be much more deep and sinister than what all of this comes across at the beginning. First off, the protagonist of this game, Detective Sebastian Castellanos is a very emotionless, stale and boring person who doesn't seem to get affected by anything, even though he had endure things that would drive a normal person to madness i.e. fighting monsters countless times, waking up inside a nightmare world that he would go on to visit lots of times via a portal and so on. Not even a single time he seem like he was on the brink of completely losing it, which doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Lots of interiors in this game are very grimy, full of looming shadows, artistically designed buildings and ominous escape routes. All of that combined created a frightening mood of expectation. Sometimes you even confused your own shadow with the one of an enemy, all of which created a massively immersive and compelling experience. When it comes to the antagonists, bosses and villains you come across, it has to be poined out that they are just so unpredictable, smart and hard-to-trick. They would eventually get weirder the more you progress, but still are inventive creations. Their names are as follows: Ruvik, a brilliant neuroscientist who created the STEM system to achieve his goal of rebuilding the world to bring back his deceased sister. The Kepper, a big, masked figure with a safe, with wrapped barbed around it with, on his head, who loves to wield a large hammer and keeps respawning after dying. Laura, who is an extremely fast and powerful creature, who can only be hurt and killed with fire. The Sadist, a chainsaw-wielding lunatic who serves as a recurring antagonist. Valerio Jimenez, a deranged hospital orderly acting as an antagonist aand various sections of the game. Shigyo, a grotesque, multi-limbed creature The weaponry you receive are modest and well-balanced - a pistol, shotgun, sniper rifle, greande and a crossbow, which caters to a variety of special attacks (freeze, electrocute, harpoon, explosive etc.) Managing the usage of your arsenal is crucial, as there's only little available and to be found, very similar to the Resident Evil Games. Sebastian runs out of stamina so quickly, tho. Yes you can actually upgrade that along with other abilities, the stock, your weapons and so on, but at the very beginning his lack of stamina is frustrating as hell. Checkpoints are scarce, so surviving and not dying repeatedly and stupidly is very, very important, which makes for such an exhilarating expierience no matter whether you decide to flee from an enemy or fight it. Making extremely calculated moves is absolutely key. Playing the stealth route is possible and not a bad decision, but still it somehow feels like that, whether you plan on throwing a bottle at an enemy or sneak up behind it, they somehow still manage to detect you shortly before you could go for it. That playstyle was, for me at least, not the most accessible gameplay style to adopt. You're not entirely powerless tho, One of EW's most enjoyable mechanics is its very simple upgrade system. "Green gel" is the resource you need to use in order to improve your attributes in the nightmare world accessible via a portal in the form of a broken mirror, which partially breaks as soon as you approach it and can be heard with a very distinct music. It is spread across the entire map, which make it worth to explore every possible inch and corner. Cashing in the points you obtain by collecting the green gel allows you to shape your own gameplay style. For instance, if you're more like an aggressive player, it makes sense to value upgrading the damage, accuracy and reload time of your weapons, rather than the ability to run for longer. And if you're a player preferring the stealth playstyle, the other way around makes the most sense. Conclusion: The Evil Within is a vicious, barbaric, challenging and overall very fun game. Its eerie world and imaginative, creative and unique enemies are genuinely frightening and smart. The lack of resources you got makes it even more challenging than already to defeat them. All of which makes it seem like the odds are against you, whilst they're not as soon as you keep a cool head and don't start panicking.
