The Evil Within

[Clemenza]

I gave up at about 8 chapters in when I learned that I was only about halfway finished. I liked it at first but found that it got stake and repetitive pretty quick. I also didn't like how the story never really advances until apparently late in the game. I didn't hate it but I wasn't super impressed with it either.

I think it gets stale and repetitive because of how easily you die. Overall its a good game but not something I would play again, maybe when I spent too much time away from it but I think I'll trade it for dying light .

I know how you feel. I got it when it was on sale for $25 and I just finished it but at the end I was playing through to finish it rather than actually enjoying it. It wasn't a horrible game but it felt like a 6 out of 10 game to me personally. It wasn't bad but it was barely better than mediocre for me.

The constant dying was a really big annoyance for me. I think I died around 130 times during the game and that seems to be on par with other players. A lot of times I'd just suicide since I'd take a cheap hit or accidently alert someone when stealthing and rather start over since the enemies take like a third of your hits.

The majority of times I died it turned out to be a cheap death. The game doesn't give you time to figure out what you have to do in a section and you have to keep replaying it to figure out how to get past it. This is very frustrating/annoying and it removes all tension. In tense games like Resident Evil 1 you don't end up dying a lot but always feel close to dying so there's tension that if you screw up you're dead. With Evil Within you die so often there's no tension worrying that if you screw up you'll die. Dying is so commonplace that you expect it to happen sooner or later and if you screw up it doesn't really matter.

Thanks for the tip about Best Buy. I was unaware of trade ins so I'll trade it for $20 ($5 less than what I paid for it) and probably my ps3 copy of Last of Us to get the remastered PS4 Last of Us on sale for $30.

Yeah. I probably would have finished if I didn't have some other games lying around that I wanted to get to. After the initial "cool" factor wore off, TEW just felt blah to me.

Best buy is giving you $30 for this game if you trade it in for dying light or $21 regular trade in.

I just traded it in today. What they give you is the price of the trade in plus a $10 off coupon for Dying Light good until the end of the month. I thought Dead Island was alright but I don't have much interest in Dying Light. Even if it turns out to be really good I wouldn't pay more than $30 for it.

Anyway, I ended up trading my copy of Evil Within and Last of Us (which I got free for my PS3) for $26 and picked up the Last of Us remastered which was on sale for $30. I wanted to play it again and never picked up the DLC.

I'm a gcu member I hope I also get the 10% bonus. I love the last of us and I did that a while back when they were giving you $30 towards the ps3 copy.
