The Evil Within

[Solitude]

I don't see a thread for it. I'm going to start playing it tomorrow. Haven't played a survival horror game in a while and this actually looks pretty good.

About This Game
Developed by Shinji Mikami -- creator of the seminal Resident Evil series -- and the talented team at Tango Gameworks, The Evil Within embodies the meaning of pure survival horror. Highly-crafted environments, horrifying anxiety, and an intricate story are combined to create an immersive world that will bring you to the height of tension. With limited resources at your disposal, you’ll fight for survival and experience profound fear in this perfect blend of horror and action.

After seeing the slaughter of fellow officers, Sebastian is ambushed and knocked unconscious. When he awakens, he finds himself in a deranged world where hideous creatures wander among the dead.
Facing unimaginable terror, and fighting for survival, Sebastian embarks on a frightening journey to unravel what’s behind this evil force.

Have any of you played it at all?

Got about 2 hours in. I couldn't get used to the cinema effect black bars and the FOV.
(also I don't do jump scares too well)

I played and finished it back when it came out on PS4. The story is a little bit confusing and hard to follow, but I really enjoyed the game overall and it has some pretty cool moments. If you've played Resident Evil 4, it's very similar to that.

I'm enjoying it a lot so far. It does feel very similar to Resident Evil 4 but I'm enjoying it a lot more. It's not scary at all but the environments are all gritty and great looking. The theme is also excellent.
[MENTION=4071]BeoTeK[/MENTION], it's possible to remove the black bars in the options menu. It looks like they added the option in a later patch. The camera is a bit weird at times but it adds to the game. The camera is also different in different areas.

I just finished chapter 9 and I look forward to seeing what happens.
