The Evil Within (2014) Review & Discussion - Silent Evil Podcast 18 - Survival Horror

Spencer and Cameron are back to finish off the year of survival good times with one of the best modern day experiences out there. The Evil Within from 2014 and put together by the legendary Shinji Mikami after he left Capcom. The dude who practically made the survival horror genre what it is with Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, Onimusha, and even Devil May Cry with an alternative action horror themed experience. The Evil Within feels like his magnum opus. Bringing together all the elements from his past and making something fresh and original too. A grand fusion of Resident Evil gameplay and Silent Hill world design.

All about a cop named Sabastion who just happens to stumble into a hospital mass murder and is thrown in, pretty much Matrix style to a madman's mind. It's definitely a wild roller coaster ride of carnival thrills, and never knowing exactly what is going to come next. Excellent monsters in an every changing level of different environments each chapter. The game does have a few rough spots and a little too many instant death sequences. But the good far outweighs the bad. If you were looking for the right blend of good survival horror of classic and modern all in one, this game delivers.

So, come join us for the run through retrospective discussion, as we deep dive into the lore, gameplay mechanics, and give a retro review on our modern experience. Let us know your thoughts on the game, survival horror titles, and what we should play next.
