The story is weird, the monsters are horrific, the ammo is always running out, and half the game feels like a fever dream. It's clunky in places, but the atmosphere is incredible and some of the creature designs still live rent-free in my head. I don't know what was happening half the time, but I was having a great time being terrified.
[h1] The Evil Within - хоррор в чистом виде [/h1] Даже для меня, человека, которого тяжело впечатлить всякими ужастиками, The Evil Within является довольно страшной игрой, даже после второго по счету прохождения. В некоторых моментах игра в плане хоррор-элемента проседает, да, но таких моментов довольно мало. Замкнутое пространство локаций, тьма, ужасающие звуки и крики, стремные монстры - все это дарит просто невероятную атмосферу данной игре. Особенное впечатление на меня произвел даже не сам главный злодей Рувик, а его сестра Лаура, обращенная в визжащего паукообразного монстра, это просто пизdец. Как же мне было страшно от нее бегать, когда играл впервые... Да и та же первая встреча с Сейфоголовым (привет Пирамидоголовому из Сайлент Хилла) навсегда останется в памяти. Игра хоть и является своего рода копией Резидент Ивила (ну тут как бы у обеих игр один создатель - Синдзи Миками), но по моему мнению только в плане геймплея. В плане нарратива, атмосферы, дизайна врагов и локаций игра все-таки отличается кардинально. Сюжет в этой игре на первый взгляд запутаннее некуда. Но, если разобраться, то все становится довольно понятно и даже интересно, хоть и с небольшими нюансами (спойлерить не буду). Хотел бы я сказать, что жалко главного злодея, но не буду... Он тот еще садист и просто полный неадекват с самого его детства. А вот главного героя Себастьяна действительно жалко. Потерял семью, забухал, попал в какую-то психушку, потом еще и в извращенную реальность... Ну такое себе, врагу не пожелаешь. У игры имеется вторая часть, которая тоже очень интересная (прямое продолжение первой части), и она мне даже нравится больше, рекомендую пройти, думаю и сам тоже поиграю в нее снова. Но первая часть своего рода тоже шедевр среди всех хорроров за всю историю. Игра просто ahуенная. Есть еще и 3 длс у нее, надо будет пройти обязательно. Положняк такой: игра ahуй, 9.5 из 10 (минус пол балла за посредственный финальный босс файт с главным злодеем), всем советую данную игру, обязательно и сам перепройду ее еще не раз. Великая игра. Очень жаль, что скорее всего, 3 часть не выйдет никогда.
十几年过去,《恶灵附身》依然是生存心理恐怖领域的一座高峰。 碎片化叙事,物资稀缺,武器种类、玩法丰富,杀完敌人后再点火烧的设定有洁净仪式之感,处处都是陷阱,独特的boss设计。DLC体验堪称完美,基曼里线和塞叔主线两条线串到一起,才逐渐拼凑出剧情的全貌,手电筒聚焦显现道路,霸道灯姐强制爱,追逐战恐怖氛围、压迫感拉满。还放了灯姐粉丝应援打call的彩蛋,太好笑了,好玩到停不下来。
Já é a segunda vez que eu compro esse jogo. E toda vez que eu inicio ele, a tela fica piscando, mudando de posição aleatoriamente e piscando sem parar (muito irritante). Porém, descobri algumas coisas... VEJA COMO RESOLVI (CASO TENHA O MESMO PROBLEMA) Se o seu monitor for acima de 60 Hz (no meu caso é 144 Hz), o jogo pode bugar bastante. Então, deixe o monitor em 60 Hz para jogar. Se você fez isso e ainda continua com o problema, vamos para o segundo passo. Ao abrir o jogo, ele vai começar a piscar. Então aperte e segure: CTRL + ALT + DELETE Vai aparecer uma tela preta com as opções: Bloquear Trocar usuário Sair Gerenciador de Tarefas Cancelar ← CLIQUE AQUI Depois, clique novamente no jogo. No menu, vá em: Options > Graphics > Hardware Settings > Resolution Mude a resolução 1 ou 2 vezes para uma menor. Depois, REPITA O PROCESSO: Pressione CTRL + ALT + DELETE. Clique em Cancelar. Volte ao jogo. Vá novamente nas configurações e selecione a resolução correta do seu monitor. Se a tela parar de piscar, o jogo passará a funcionar normalmente sempre que você abrir. Vai perceber que vai ter duas barra preta em cima, e em baixo da tela. Basta ir no mesmo lugar das resoluções e desativar letterbox. Caso não funcione, repita o processo, testando outras resoluções menores até encontrar uma que resolva o problema (por último a sua resolução). PS: Se o jogo deixar de ficar em tela cheia, clique na janela do jogo, ou no ícone na barra de tarefas e pressione ALT + ENTER ou F11 (para voltar a ficar na tela cheia). MAS NA MORAL, SACANAGEM NÃO TEREM RESOLVIDO ISSO ATÉ HOJE!
Allow me to preface this with saying that should you beat this game on any difficulty, I will personally consider you a top tier horror game player. Half of the horror from this game comes from the jank, and not in a bad way. It can actually feel like a challenge, and the more you learn about the game, the better off you are in the end. The game of course has plenty of ways it can be exploited, though even with the exploits, you’re never too far away from getting sent to last checkpoint. The game manages to nail the atmosphere I would picture to be within the mind of a deranged person. Know that if you wish to buy this game, and you’re a casual player who rages a lot, it would be best if you pass on it, but if you are a methodical gamer (and maybe decide to look up guides, which I won’t fault you for) this game is great. And if I haven’t convinced to play it yet, then know that the sequel is visually stunning, the story will tug on your heartstrings, and a mechanically, it is a much more tolerable game. On a personal scale, this game is a 10/10, but on an objective scale it’s a 7/10, as it won’t be for everyone and I’ve known people to quit right before the last chapter of the game.
Introduction: Definitely install the 4K cutscenes mod + you can also unlock the FPS and play at 144 FPS. At first, I thought this would break the game, but nope - I completed the entire game without any issues. I’d also recommend upgrading sprint to at least level 4; personally, I consider it a must-have. As for everything else, you’ll figure out along the way what feels more important and useful to you. Pros: + Visual style. The enemies, locations, and overall vibe are presented in a very immersive way. The graphics obviously don’t look impressive in 2026 anymore, but the visual style helps hide the game’s “age.” + Gameplay. It uses the Resident Evil formula: there are stealth elements, upgrades, and multiple ways to deal with enemies - you can simply run past them, sneak through, or quickly wipe everyone out in combat. + Story. Nothing extraordinary, just a solid story. At times, you can draw parallels with its genre colleague - Resident Evil. ~ Sound. The sound design is just okay. Nothing really stood out to my ears, but the audio does its job well enough. Cons: - Movement. It feels a bit clunky and not fully polished. But once you get used to it, you stop noticing this flaw. Final verdict: On the surface, it’s a fairly standard but solid survival horror game. Under the hood, though, it has similar genre elements implemented in its own way, with its own take on the formula. A solid game that can still provide a lot of enjoyment despite its small flaws and imperfections.

Духота - якщо одним словом. Неприємний геймплей. Усе сіро-чорне, нічого не видно майже завжди. Чого головний герой бігає наче наклав у штани? Краще пограйте в будь який рєзік. P. S. На ультравайд моніку треба було танцювати с бубном щоб воно норм відображало зображення. Мені допомогла утиліта Flawless Widescreen та коригування файлу гри через блокнот.
Do you have any bullets? – No I need some bullets.
Doesn't run on modern PC's. After the first start, the screen begins flickering every time I try to start up the game and it gets stuck trying to load. While it's in that state, it's impossible to ALT + TAB out of the game and my monitor's resolution turns to 800x600. Only way to fix things is via the old reliable Task Manager. Apparently there's fixes online like downloading third party software and such and while I'm not opposed to fixing up older games, I shouldn't have to try and fix a game from 2014. I mean damn, this was released for PS4 for Christ's sake's and that was only... Oh, PS4 was released 13 years ago? ... Well damn. Anyways, I'm probably going to refund this.
