The Evil Within It combines tense atmosphere, disturbing imagery, and unpredictable environments to create a constant sense of unease. The game’s strength lies in its psychological horror—expect eerie silence one moment and intense, chaotic jump scares the next.

Visually, it leans into gritty, nightmarish designs, with levels that often shift reality, keeping players disoriented. While some mechanics (like stiff controls and limited ammo) may feel dated to modern players, they serve the tension well.

For those unfamiliar with 2014-era horror games, The Evil Within reflects a time when horror was regaining its teeth—less action, more fear. It’s not always polished, but it’s packed with dread, atmosphere, and some seriously creepy moments that still hold up.

Really interesting story and most of the environments were beautiful. The game got a bit repetetive towards the end with the amount of enemies it threw at you but even after that it was well worth playing.
  • Most of the environments looked great
  • Really interesting story
  • AI is actually helpful
  • Action took over the horror towards the end
  • Performance could have been better, fps drops here and there

good game, keeps the pace with being interesting. I had few problems with the camera at times but overall is fun to play if you ofcourse like horror games. The immersion to the game's atmosphere is good and story is alright but not the best don't expect witcher 3 story tho.

miglior horror in circolazione tra atmosfere uniche e storia davvero intrigante, lo consiglio agli amanti del genere, sicuramente si sarebbe potuto fare di piu dal punto di vista grafico, ma lo ritengo in ogni caso accettabile come livello.
  • miglior horror senza difetti ne di trama ne di gameplay
  • la grafica poteva essere meglio

Dark, fear, murder, monsters. I like horror games when I have a minimal amount of ammunition, many difficult opponents and anxiety. Problems with few bugs and not the best optimization on PC. After all, I recommend the game

While the characters are as uninteresting as they can be and the cinematic experience feels a bit forced, the Evil Within has a nice atmosphere combined with a nice selection of horror elements that make it an enjoyable horror title.
