꽤 구식이고 상당히 투박하지만 취향만 맞으면 개명작이다 고어하고 무섭고 어려운거 싫어하면 거르셈 고어하고 심장 쫄깃한거 좋아하고 바하 시리즈 팬이면 꼭 해보셈 물론 개같은 조작감이랑 멀미 유발하는 시점은 감안해야함 그래도 2만원(세일하면 5천원+dlc)에 플탐도 15시간 전후에 플레이도 생각보다 다채로워서 고봉밥 같은 게임임 다회차나 가끔 켜서 켠왕해도 좋을 만큼 구성도 괜찮음
虽然第二代拉了,但第一部就是神作
三上经典之作值得一玩,算是恐怖游戏艺术的巅峰
最喜欢的恐怖游戏,最喜欢的恐怖游戏主角,补票一下。纪念被我一直踩绊线钩一直炸一直吓的塞巴斯

Despite its flaws, I found The Evil Within to be a lot of fun, and am currently working through the Assignment and Consequence DLCs. TEW feels like a love letter to both survival horror games and horror films, which results in some genuinely interesting story and gameplay ideas mixed with some genuinely baffling choices (such as the letterboxed gameplay screen which you do have the ability to turn off, thankfully. It's important to note that the game on its base difficulty is hard, and expects to handle enemy encounters strategically in order to survive. However, in pursuit of this difficulty and strategy, the game (especially the farther in you get) places you in almost arena-like areas full of enemies to defeat, losing some of its fear factor in exchange for action. And while I did enjoy the gameplay of that action, it's important to note that this isn't exactly a pure and harrowing horror experience. I also do have to talk about the boss and enemy designs. These things look, sound, and feel AWESOME in the worst possible ways, from the Keeper emerging from its safe right behind you as you open a door to Laura's spindly limbs scuttling toward you to the slithery grossness that is Quell (and that's to say nothing of the horrifying addition made in the Assignment), this game's enemies and bosses are just so stinking cool and I love them so much. Good game overall, won't make you soil your pants, but is a blast to play if you like a challenge.
I am giving this game a borderline recommendation. Evil Within - ironically - struggles with it's own identity. Sections of this game are a real slog to get through. There are several, uninteresting locations to get through before you get to the parts of this game that really hit. There are a lot of grey and brown locals that are super drab to look at, and the inconsistent mental world is well done, but gives the game a very lose sense of continuity. It very much feels like you're just moving forward to make progress, at least until the game starts explaining things. They're also throwing a lot at the wall here. Stealth mechanics, saw traps, rail shooting sections, big monster fights, small monster fights, and some very light puzzle mechanics. Some sections of this game feel like Resident Evil 5, others feel like a mid 2010s Silent Hill game. Boss fights you RUN from are always more fun to deal with than the ones you have to shoot. But a lot of the things they throw at the wall work, especially in the back 1/3 of the game. You hit a point where the large, open air shooting galleries turn into malicious jigsaw trap mazes and pulpy camp horror monologuing. These segments There are better horror games and better action games you can play, but this is an easy game to get on sale to kill a couple of afternoons with.
It's okay for what it is, but honestly It's a so-so game for me. I enjoy Resident Evil games, so figured that this was going to be fun, but it's mostly mediocre.
Uno de mis juegos favoritos, fue el que me hizo amar el genero Survival Horror. Este primer platino que saco es gracias a lo hermoso y lo mucho que me encanto. A pesar que salio hace ya casi doce años. Se mantiene en mecanicas y graficamente, recomendado para principiantes y veteranos en el genero.
