I finally beat The Evil Within. Overall, it was an excellent game and I really enjoyed it. It was very scary at times, so I could only play it once a day—and I even skipped some days because there was one enemy who was just too terrifying and kept coming back no matter how many times I killed him. I played on easy mode, and it felt perfect. Most of the game was fairly easy, except for maybe three sections that were pretty challenging. For an older game released in 2014, I thought the graphics were surprisingly good and the gameplay was great. That said, there were a few things that really annoyed me. The worst issue was constantly running out of ammo throughout the entire game. I even chose easy mode, which claimed there would be plenty of ammo, but that wasn’t true at all. Very rarely did I get the chance to clear out all the enemies because there just wasn’t enough ammunition. The game felt very slow because of this. I really wish there had been some levels where you could just go on a full shooting rampage. By the end of the game, I was completely fed up with always being “out of ammo.” Another thing that annoyed me was the weird, confusing scenes. They were interesting at first, but by the end of the game they started to feel frustrating rather than intriguing. The whole game felt like one bad dream. I think maybe that's what they were for for? One more thing that really bothered me—and this happens in other games too—is being rewarded with a machine gun for beating the game. The game is over! How am I supposed to use it? I also didn’t get all the upgrades, which made it even more disappointing. It feels so lame when game companies force you to finish the game before letting you fully upgrade your character. Despite all that, I still bought The Evil Within 2. I had fun with the first game overall, but I won’t be playing the sequel until the end of the year since I have other games to get through first. #theevilwithin #videogames
