8/10
Shinji Mikami has yet to make a poor game, and The Evil Within does not blemish his record. But neither does the game enchant and disrupt in the way that Vanquish and the others managed. This is Mikami revisiting his past glories and, as such, it's both a delight and a disappointment.

8.7/10
Superb gameplay, a breakneck pace and terrifying enemies makes The Evil Within a wonderful survival horror experience.

4/5
The Evil Within marks Shinji Mikami's triumphant return to horror, cementing his status as a mastermind of the genre. Smartly aiming for psychological horror over cheap jump scares, it gets under the skin and effects the psyche. Unfortunately, it falls into the modern trappings of boasting too much firepower at the cost of stealth and intelligence.

Good game that could of been great.
This is kind of what I wanted RE4 to be when I was a kid in 2005. Actually scary, well written, limited resources, stealth meets horror. What holds this game back from greatness isn't anything Shinji Mikami and Tango Gameworks did; it was something the Benevolent hyper-intelligent nihilanth architect of the post-singularity simulation we all live in, John Carmack did. Mega Texture was not a bad idea on paper. However, even with a monster machine from 2025 armed with a super fast SSD, Id Tech 5 still struggles to load textures in a timely fashion. This takes a beautiful game and gives it the peformance output of a 45 year-old, blue haired Bernie Sanders voter with constipation or Hugh Hefner a day before he can renew his blue pill script. Take your pick. Both are pathetic. But it's still a good horror game and back in the terrible times that were 2013-2014, sometimes good was enough for horror fans.

Great Game
It was once of my first game on ps4 and i still love it, because the atmosphere is great and it has a good Story. Only my device [Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Pro 360] doesn't run well because the graphics card. But if you have a "real" graphics card it should run good.

Delightful, Deranged, Imaginative Ride
Please play this game. RE cred aside, this game is just so wildly imaginative in ways that put other games to shame. Pairs well with Autumnal vibes.
