Despite letting some of its most compelling aspects die off, The Evil Within is still worth a shot for bringing some unique ideas in the first place, and giving us a new way to think about survival horror.

A compelling and visually powerful world; Unravels an engaging mystery; Offers a new take on the survival horror genre

Forced and sometimes finicky combat; Enemies and sequences that feel like filler; Dropped plots

The Evil Within is a new survival horror game, an experience which Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami defines as one that pushes the limits of fear and exhilaration.

The last thing Krimson City detective Sebastian Castellanos could have expected when responding to a call for backup was that he would be sucked into a new nightmare from Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami.

Often dubbed "the Godfather of Survival Horror," Shinji Mikami has earned his title in the genre.

Got this for my 60+ year old dad for Father's Day, he likes resident evil and after all the years of him playing PlayStation I decided on this then enabling him with a bottle of whiskey.

Excellent service from tesco in ordering and delivery. Unfortunately the game did not live up to expectations and felt very disjointed at times. I did finish the game but it was more of a chore that enjoyment. The big black bars at the bottom and top of the screen didn't help things either.

Like everyone else who ran out to get this game. I was excited to play and maybe get some scares out of it. I have played Silent Hill and Resident Evil games and I was hoping that this game would blast them out of the water. Unfortunately the graphics was a huge let down to start with.

I finally got my ps4 last week and made the mistake of putting this game in first. After realizing that I couldn't get rid of those black bars and poor graphics, I quit playing it after 15 minutes and moved on to Far Cry 4.

Bought it on sale

Humongous black bars; underwhelming graphics; first game I popped into my new ps4 unfortunately

The creator of Resident Evil returns to the world of survival horror, with a mix of third person action and Silent Hill style terror.

The combat and stealth work well, especially when combined with the more open world levels; Plenty of tension and some inventive enemies and boss encounters

Very few new ideas and most of the old ones worked better in their original form; Low frame rate, lots of bugs, and hugely unhelpful camera; Awful storytelling and not thats scary
