If like me you think that Resident Evil 4 is the greatest horror game ever then do not under any circumstances bother buying The Evil Within.
To start with the story doesn't grab you 6 chapters into the game and you still have no idea what is happening, if you are a PS4 user you may find the controls shonky, using R3 to help aim to shoot and the game pauses and your inventory pops up.
The great thing about RE4 was the story, and the fact it completely evolved from the previous 3 in the way of gameplay, well The Evil Within tries so much to be like RE4 that Shinji Makimi should sue himself.
That would normally be a plus, but in this it fails miserably, i am all for playing the game on the hardest level and doing this you expect to have to use more ammunition to defeat the enemy, however with The Evil within you have nowhere near as much ammo as you need and it takes numerous shots to kill any enemies and you will be finding yourself restarting missions because you have to hit the monsters with your fist or empty weapon and it becomes insanely tedious when they constantly kill you.
Do yourself a favour, if its horror suspense you are looking for buy Alien:Isolation, otherwise just download RE4 from the PS Store and enjoy the greatest horror game to ever hit the shelves.
