The Evil Within is one of those fondly looked back upon games that just didn’t do it for me. It attempted to cram together every horror genre out there—psychological, surrealism, action, survival—all of which are done better in other games. Sure, there were a few memorable sequences, but the constant jumping around resulted in a disjointed experience. Add to that the convoluted way of storytelling, and well, I just wish I had loved it as much as most.

What I did like included certain environments and boss fights. Don’t get me wrong, it looked good, artistically speaking. In the beginning I even enjoyed myself, but it overstayed its welcome and by the end I couldn't help but hate it.
