8. The Evil Within
The Evil Within is a true
survival horror game where you feel like every decision you make needs to be calculated and perfected or you risk certain death. You play as Detective Sebastian Castellanos as he tries to get to the bottom of the recent surge of supernatural horror that has taken over. The Evil Within’s monsters are some of the most creative and visually disturbing in any horror franchise and will definitely leave you second-guessing going to sleep.
Many enemies will force you to get creative in defeating them. You’ll need to learn when to use the environment, sneak around, and be as aggressive as you can. The strategy that works best for you will probably differ from others, too. You’ll have access to standard weapons such as shotguns and a burst handgun, but it’s the little things like matches that might be the most useful because you might feel like you have to burn bodies to ensure your own safety.
If you want to feel like every moment is a fight for survival against terrifying monsters in disturbing locations, The Evil Within will deliver. Its
sequel is also worth checking out.
