Today’s game is The Evil Within. I wanted to stick with the horror theme i have going but wanted to pad something in between Alan Wake and Alan Wake’s American Nightmare, so i picked this up. I really enjoyed it, if i’m hopefully still in a horror mood after Alan Wake II i’ll probably continue this (Especially if i can’t get my hands on the Silent Hill 2 Remake by then).
This Sewage tunnel in the screenshot really freaked me out more than it should have. i was fully expecting to get jump scared by something with the way this was designed, or at least have to run. I have to say this game does a good job of managing that feel. I always feel like I’m weak and being hunted despite the game giving me tons of tools to fight things.
This game is probably my favourite horror game of all time. That being said, I’m playing Alan Wake 2 currently, and it definitely does better at being scary. AW2 does an amazing job at creating disturbing environments and imagery, while also being oddly beautiful. Reminds me of the Hannibal TV series a lot.
Alan Wake i feel like is a game franchise that only comes around rarely. Each entry is usually amazing and filled to the brim with so much care and details. I definitely enjoyed the quick time i spent with The Evil Within though, its a lot of fun and does an awesome job of keeping you in suspense, especially with how it encourages stealth i feel like
