A fantastic mix of action and the type of stressful encounter design that Resident Evil excels so much at. The Evil Within was a blast from beginning to end, with tons of memorable encounters and bosses that felt legitimately intimidating to overcome, which is no small feat for a horror game. While the story was a bit erratic and mostly hard to follow, and none of the characters really stood out, the gameplay was a ton of fun and will definitely be replayed many times over. Special props to the creature design, christ, some of those monstrosities were horrifying, and made for some great encounters.
