Just watching that makes me nervous never mind playing it
Gruesome screenshot:
For me horror games can be worse than horror movies for their scares, with the game you're in control it's your choice if you're going to explore the basement and it might be the wrong one, it's your choice to find out what's behind the closed door and honestly I can see myself quitting out of this game many times
But I still can't wait to play it, nothing quite beats a good scare, especially at Halloween

It looks like true survival horror is back and with a unhealthy does of psychological terror. A lot of people are saying it looks like the Resident Evil 5 that never was and they're not wrong, it does look a lot like Resi Evil 4. That's not a bad thing.The Evil Within is perfectly paced, oscillating between nail-biting chase scenes and giant horrific spectacle, such as when Castellanos wanders outside the hospital to find that its grounds suhave become an island cut adrift from the rest of the world. The game also makes a lot of mileage out of building up razor-sharp tension, reducing the soundtrack to footfalls and creaking doors and then having horrific monsters amble into view as though this is the natural state of things.
Throughout, it feels like the protagonist is at risk and riding their luck in the face of imminent slaughter. Couple that with reduced resources, a soundtrack worthy of the best extreme horror entertainment and a story that's as intriguing as it is horrifying and you are looking at the return of genuine survival horror on the next generation of consoles.
