Evil Within is the perfect blend of Resident Evil's combat and mechanics with Silent Hill's horrific monster design and psychological thematic.

Oppressive atmosphere and intense, stressful encounters are what characterizes this game. I do have an issue though, and it's that at some points in the story there are some ludicrous difficulty spikes that kill the pacing completely, and some encounters are cheap as hell, sending waves of enemies after you in a closed environment, or worse, enemies with guns.

Controls and stealth mechanics may be kind of clunky and unresponsive at times, but issues aside this turned out to be a very pleasant and engaging survival-horror experience.
