Great return to classic survival horror with a twist of Silent Hill thrown into it. This is a great game and as a longtime Resident Evil fan I really appreciate Shinji Mikamis The Evil Within as he pays a lot of homage not only to the Resident Evil series but also to a lot of cult horror movies like Evil Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre or The Thing.

The gameplay is similar to the one of Resident Evil 4 and you will feel right at home when you are familiar with that game. This is by far not an easy game and I believe a lot of people will struggle with some chapters on higher difficulties, nevertheless if you are a true survival horror fan or Resident Evil fan you probably should give this title a try.

Be aware that the PC version has some high system requirements and that you will need a decent quad core CPU and a decent 2-4 GB V-Ram graphics card to fully enjoy the PC version. It had some severe crashes on launch but they were removed with a recent patch.

This game is not for everyone but personally its up there as game of the year 2014 at least in my humble opinion.
