Abstract: I have come to call The Evil Within “Resident Silent Evil Hill 4” as that's what it feels like--a strange blending of the oppressive environmental horror of the Silent Hill series that the weapon/item based survival horror of the Resident Evil series. It'...
Abstract: The enemies and environments are inventively disturbing. Photo: Bethesda SoftworksIn 2005, after Capcom had published many samey sequels, Mikami revolutionised the series he had spawned. Resident Evil 4 was a hit with critics and fans, a bold reinvention ...
Abstract: If last year's The Evil Within saw Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami reclaiming the survival horror gameplay he popularised, this double-whammy of DLC sees the genre pioneer playing around with toys from other horror games' playroom.Taken together, The ...

Pure, unadulterated, no-compromise survival horror, sometimes truly chilling, great weapons and upgrade system, decent puzzles, a meaty single-player experience
Clunky by modern standards, determinedly old-fashioned, no multiplayer, not for those who prize slickness and fast-paced gaming above all else
Yes, The Evil Within is a determinedly old-fashioned game (even the washed out, near-monochrome visuals don't exactly scream "next-gen" at you). But it's a rare treat in a fast-twitch world for those who view themselves as survival horror aficionado...
Great stealthy gameplay, Creepy environments, New protagonist
Occasionally sticky controls
The Assignment offers up a thrilling three-and-a-half hours in The Evil Within's grimy universe. Its stealthy gameplay, beautifully designed environments, and refreshingly grounded protagonist make it stand out from the main game, and a cliffhanger ending...
