Remember the first time you've played Resident Evil or Silent Hill in PlayStation; survival-horror games were really scary that time, that playing it was the equivalent of watching a real horror film and you couldn't finish it because you we're too scared. Now horror video games are not that scary anymore and they became predictable to the point of being boring, but with The Evil Within, looks like you'll be going back to that place once again.
Shinji Mikami's newest horror masterpiece The Evil Within brings back the old feeling helplessness and fear to our hearts and shows us how a real survival horror video game works. If you've seen the newest trailer for The Evil Within, you'll know what we are talking about.
The Evil Within is developed by Japanese studio Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda Softworks. In the Evil Within, players will take the role of Detective Sebastian Castellanos who along with his partners investigate a series of gruesome murders and as they investigate further, Sebastian and they have witness the killings of their fellow police officers and Sebastian was attacked leaving him unconscious. Waking up in place occupied by hellish monsters, Sebastian's skills and wits will be tested as he tries to survive and uncover the mystery of the case or else he will be trapped in an endless nightmare.
Shinji Mikami is well known by gamers as the creator of Resident Evil, and has brought horror back in survival horror in The Evil Within. Shinji Mikami also contributed some of the games in Capcom such as Onimusha, Dino Crisis, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, and among others. Seeing the trailer of Evil Within will surely make gamers feel scared and at same time excited to have one and what's not to like, the game has everything in a survival horror; dark, scary, and often eerie places, limited supplies, the mind bending puzzles that are too hard and annoying to go through, the horrible and disturbing looking monsters, the amount fear and helplessness you feel whenever something scary is about to happen.
With traits like that, the Evil Within will surely be a hit in video game stores as the official release of the game is on August 26, 2014 in North America, August 28 in Australia, and August 29 in Europe for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
