I personally loved it. The atmosphere was pretty cool, and I liked the trippy environments, even if you did bounce from place to place randomly.

Pretty good, but disappointing Takada score. Like, almost nothing about how the OST sounds says that he composed the tracks.

Ruvik had me yelling at the TV every time he showed up. Reminded me of Nemesis.

But it wasn't commercially flogged. It's sales surpassed Bethesda's expectations. Do you mean critically flogged? Because while it had mixed reviews, it was easily one of the best action horror titles I've played in years. It felt like a PS2-era game just with modern visuals. Fun to play through, so much replay value and the expansions were top-notch.

I remember that Alien Isolation released at a similar time, so comparisons were impossible to avoid. Even though Isolation is a good game, I think that The Evil Within is not only a better game overall, but also a far better representative of the survival horror genre.
Critics didn't agree, and I wouldn't be surprised if Isolation's success ate a bit into TEWs sales.

Its RE4 plus TLOU, its nothing like a survival horror.

Sure, it was a mediocre action horror themed game but nothing groundbreaking.

Because it was a worst last of us

It was alright. Not really inspiring, but alright. I liked how all puzzles were really logical and made sense. Didn't really like the story though. Otherwise it's decent.

people realised that Resident Evil 4 was actually shit

I feel like this game is the most misunderstood title of past years. It is an absolutely stellar work about conscious interaction with sick subconsciousness, dream projection put into mainstream media product - videogame.
Seriously, this is the single most mindfuckish game I've played in years

And if you think about it, even copypasted monsters from other games, illogical characters and little to none connection between locations are made such on purpose to fuck with you

I wanted something that reinvented the genre. I don't want a 7,.5

sorry mikami.

every RE is shit. especially REmake

I wanted RE4 with ghosts, but it was still fun; had to switch the voices to French though.
