The Evil Within

2014 Tango Gameworks

Developed by Shinji Mikami -- creator of the seminal Resident Evil series -- and the talented team at Tango Gameworks, The Evil Within embodies the meaning of pure survival horror. Highly-crafted environments, horrifying anxiety, and an intricate story are combined to create an immersive world that will bring you to the height of tension.

The Evil Within
HORROR CENTRALITY
92 /100

The Evil Within is built around survival horror mechanics—scarce resources, dangerous environments, unpredictable threats, psychological dread—so fear is central to the normal gameplay; while there is action, the core identity is horror-focused rather than action/power fantasy.
