Best Survival horror game for a long time

Now it is finally here, The Evil Within (TEW). After Amazon has as always delivered on time, the Game (13.10) was yesterday are unfortunately not yet installed via Steam, you therefore had to make do until today.

Vorschusslorbeeren there was enough of the press, but what keeps TEW really? Not just anyone, Shinji Mikami is THE special the mastermind behind TEW - for all survival horror fans are so much hope.

The game:

Starting in the mental hospital

TEW sends Detective Sebastian Castellanos thanks to a police emergency call in the mental hospital of Crimson City. There is a bad image for the investigators shows. He takes blood, blood and blood again - did I mention that he found blood there? Is intended to express TEW is not a game for the faint-hearted and provides tidy Schcokmomente and a lot nastier, distorted creatures.

The game world is fairly linear, but is not limited to the horror house but also on factory grounds and villages. The protagonists are controls over the shoulder camera, as one example, already knows it from Resident Evil.

I quickly found that ammunition is scarce available for weapons. So you should be careful to use the Monition economical and useful. Many opponents can also knock entirely without weapons and with slow passages. The use of eg axes is also possible, but these are quickly broken. Again, please note again: TEW not saved with blood and violence, the classification of FSK has been justified.

Graphics:

The graphics are nice, but not a masterpiece. TEW relies on the id Tech 5 engine, which dates from 2011 and was drilled. It is the design of the respective places "loving" and detailed, but the graphics look a little stale at times. But behind can put even intention, because it shows on the basis of the gameplay and story that you want to be limited to the beginnings of the survival horror. Washed and grielelige graphics create thereby an atmosphere that is reminiscent of the beginnings. I would therefore this part is not negative, because it fits into the overall picture of TEW.

On the PC of some perceived as annoying black bars may incidentally be removed. Also can be customized via console on the FPS and 30 FPS remove the brake.

Mention was also the musical background of general gloom. The music is perfectly chosen and fits perfectly in the respective game situations.

Conclusion:

TEW is difficult, but at all times always fair. Taking just the memory points well placed comes to no frustration. Absolutely positive that is flaring up, "old" survival horror feel. At last you have again received a Game, agreed that tension, story and atmosphere. Responsible for this is also partly faded graphics, but which just fits harmoniously. A glossy Shooter nobody wants namely.

For my part, after (added) short season only 5 * and express my absolute recommendation for TEW.

Small gripe with Amazon as always the 5 "Criminal shipping".
