Console games eventually began to be ported to the PC. In addition, game development on both consoles and computers has become very popular. One such toy was the game The Evil Within.
What attracted attention?
Of course, many, having heard the name The Evil Within, immediately began to wait for her. Some, on the contrary, twisted their noses. Nevertheless, this computer toy became popular even before its release, only with the announcement. But why did she attract so much attention?
Even before the release date of The Evil Within became known, players began to wait for it. This is due to the fact that the world famous Shinji Mikami took part in the development. It was he who gave life, probably the most popular game in the genre of Survival Horror called Resident Evil. This is an interesting and fascinating console toy, which began to be ported to a PC with the release of its 4 numbered parts. Here, the player had to survive among the zombies, saving his skin. Unfortunately, as soon as Shinji Mikami left the creation of Resident Evil, the toy began, frankly, to slowly fade. She was replaced by the game The Evil Within. That is why among the fans of the good old "Abode", of which there are a large number, the news of the release of a new creation by Mikami caused a great stir.
What is the game about?
In The Evil Within, the plot begins to develop around a detective named Sebastian. He begins to investigate a mysterious case - in the psychiatric clinic "Mayak" all patients along with the staff were brutally murdered.
The only survivor, Dr. Jimenez, speaks of a certain Ruvik, who arranged a real slaughter in the hospital. Sebastian watches the recordings from the guard room, where a man in a hoodie commits a series of murders. Later, Sebastian finds himself in an old estate, which is associated with the clinic - the situation begins to clear up.
What's next? Ruben, who was the very same Ruvik, once lived in this estate. He had a sister, Laura, whom he loved very much. Once embittered peasants set fire to a barn, which, as it turned out, was played by children (Ruvik and his sister). The girl died, and Ruben was badly mutilated. The boy is undergoing rehabilitation at the Lighthouse and meets with Dr. Jimenez. And so begins The Evil Within. The plot of the game is not very clear at first sight. It is worth playing in order to fully understand what is happening.
Now that many readers are already interested, what will happen next, we can continue the topic: "The Evil Within, a review." On what is written a little higher, the game does not end. The most interesting will come next.
The passage of The Evil Within, as mentioned earlier, begins with the fact that Detective Sebastian gets into an old estate that will help him investigate the case of the massacre at the Mayak psychiatric clinic. The most specific development of events happens after a player learns about Ruvik's acquaintance with Dr. Hämenez. What is going on?
After the acquaintance of these heroes occurred, the doctor says that he is trying to conduct experiments to unite the minds of several people. After Ruben undergoes a course of treatment, Heménez realizes that his patient hates the whole world and wants to destroy it. For this, the young man even creates a special team. With all this, the desire for revenge goes too far - Ruvik began to kidnap people and put experiments on them. So, the police are hunting him. But it’s too late — Ruben’s fears have already come true in a parallel world! So, the passage of The Evil Within is reduced to the fact that the player will have to flee from the insanity of the crazy maniac and his "creations", who have escaped to freedom (these are victims of experiments).
Nothing is clear
Honestly, if you start playing The Evil Within, then your head can go a little round from such a twisted plot. During the passage, the player sooner or later the question arises: "In what world does Sebastian live?" Surely no one can answer this question. However, there are two versions that are easy to explain. Which one seems right is up to you.
The first version, which helps to supplement the theme of “The Evil Within - review of the plot” and to clarify the situation with what is happening in the process of passing, is that our Sebastian is in the real world, in which Ruvik was able to take over the body of the ideal candidate for his experiences and came to take revenge on the whole world. Headaches that appear from time to time are explained by the fact that all the characters were connected to the system of work on the unification of the mind.
The second is the one according to which Sebastian plays all the time in a parallel world, but in the real world it turns out only once. This is done on the basis of some game moments, which we will not disclose. One thing is clear - the plot will be more clear after the addition of the game. The release date for "The Evil Within: The Assignment" is scheduled for early 2015.
What does the people think?
Of course, not a single game can do without criticism. Thus, the opinions of players and critics are divided. Some note in The Evil Within the plot, which is unique and exciting, others, on the contrary, literally shout that this toy is good for nothing. Maybe this is due to the fact that Shinji Mikami “stuck” to the work, forgetting about Resident Evil.
Among critics, The Evil Within got fairly high marks. Of course, all thanks to the famous gamemaster. Nevertheless, almost everyone complains about the uncertainty of the plot and await the release of the supplement, which should bring clarity.
In conclusion...
It's time to take stock. Of course, after the release date of The Evil Within became known, the sensation occurred literally everywhere: both among the gaming industry and among fans. How good the game is for you to judge. In The Evil Within, the plot does not yet have any specific clear features, which makes it possible to “think through” what really happened. Pretty interesting move by the creator. In order to understand how good a game is, try playing it yourself. Good luck!
