The Evil Within
Shinji Mikami's return to survival horror trades accessibility for atmosphere, delivering a tense, deliberately paced game that demands patience but rewards it with genuine dread.
GamerScout Verdict
For horror fans who value atmosphere and dread over action-paced thrills; a flawed but genuinely unsettling experience.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About The Evil Within
I went in expecting another RE4-style action-horror hybrid. Instead, The Evil Within is slower, meaner, and far more interested in making you uncomfortable than giving you power. You're constantly low on ammo, environments are layered with grotesque detail, and the camera sits just close enough to feel claustrophobic. The story weaves between reality and nightmare in ways that occasionally make no sense, but that's part of the horror. It's rough around the edges. The pacing stumbles in the back half, some enemy designs feel repetitive, and the 68 Metacritic score reflects that this isn't a masterpiece. But if you're the type who values atmosphere over empowerment, who enjoyed the slower Resident Evil games, or who can tolerate a game that's deliberately frustrating in service of dread, there's something genuinely unsettling here.
