I make it no secret that I didn't like The Evil Within, but that didn't stop me from jumping into its DLC, and I'm glad I did. The Assignment was part one of Juli Kidman's story that ran parallel with Sebastian's. It was obviously much shorter in length, but I preferred that as it didn't feel like a never-ending slog. Gameplay was also spiced up with the lack of a gun, so it relied on stealth for the most part. I thought it was decent, even a pleasant surprise.

I LOVED the creature design, most notably the Shade. I'll forever consider it one of the best monsters in horror gaming.
