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.
