The Evil Within - My review!
I really enjoyed the bus boss battle. It brought back memories of the House of the Dead series. Overall, the game could improve as a rail shooter. They seemed aiming for a cinematic style from the start.
My perspective here is a bit critical. Does this appear as a joke aimed at PC gamers? The visuals and performance are really lacking. It feels like it was built using the same engine as Wolfenstein: TNO. The idTech 5 engine was meant for smooth 1080p at 60fps on older consoles, yet they kept it stuck at 30fps. The character models seem outdated, there are very few graphical choices, and the field of view is so narrow it can cause discomfort. The input lag is excessive, making mouse movement feel sluggish and unnatural. Controls are confusing, partly due to lag and partly because the game seems linked to frame rate. There’s noticeable stuttering, jitter, and poor handling of characters. Even simple actions like stepping forward can result in unexpected mistakes. The save system is frustrating, with checkpoints spaced far apart unless you find a special feature. Enemies are deadly or only take two hits, and chasing them feels like a challenge. Stealth options are limited, and the camera control is poor—making it hard to see around corners. Enemy AI is predictable, and the pathing doesn’t allow for stealthy movement. The gameplay feels broken, with traps and enemy behavior that are hard to manage. The save points are unreliable, and the difficulty curve is steep. The loot system is unreliable, and the story feels disconnected. The graphics are limited, with only a few options for customization, and the performance suffers significantly. Overall, it’s a disappointing experience that reminds you how far development has slipped from the original promise.
They should have. They should HAVE! SHOULD HAVE! There's no such thing as "should of", I searched for it, it's not existent! SPREAD THE WORD! Because I'm fucking sick to death of reading all this "should of" everywhere.
It captured everything exactly. I was really thrilled after watching the trailers, and once I started playing it, I felt like I was hit in the stomach.
