The evil within is a very good game, with only some small nitpicks from me on some of the AI seeming to be cheap. The graphics are amazing, with a very in depth story, a fully fleshed out setting, creepy and off-putting environment, and a difficulty that makes you wanna just keep trying. The horror in the game isn't just cheap jumpscares; but a strong build up of atmosphere and the feeling of helplessness as the big bad is coming for you with you only having a couple of rounds of ammo left. You are left, at times, using the environment or sneaking around enemies just to survive.

With a touch of RPG, you can upgrade your weapons and stats to fair better; but with that you either have to hunt for the upgrade currency everywhere you go, or you have to be very selective on what you focus upgrades on.

The controls are fairly solid, with a few nitpicks on the issues with look sensitivity. Everything just feels like it belongs and is responsive. Only wish there was a dodge roll move; but that is more personal preference.
Combat is a bit difficult at times; but no due to bad controls. Instead, it is due to the aim and distance; this being if the enemy is too close to you the auto aim and regular aim seem to aim passed the enemies. You have the option of melee; but unless you have a melee weapon you will need it to be fully upgraded to be able to use it at all in the later levels.

The game feels like a nice blend of old resident evil and silent hill. I would highly recommend the first entry.
