What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise The Evil Within's strong atmosphere, effective scares, and engaging gameplay loop that combines action with horror, featuring cool characters and a satisfying upgrade system. However, the game suffers from significant technical issues on modern hardware, including a broken frame limiter and persistent stuttering that require manual workarounds to fix, which frustrates players trying to experience the game smoothly.

💔The game is interesting, but the mechanics would be better if they were like those in Resident Evil, because issues with stamina and the like really limit the gameplay💔 💔I hate stealth in games, but if there’s very little of it, I can put up with it💔 💔This game is worth your attention, but you need to be prepared for the fact that it will feel punishing at times💔

Very fun. The real successor to the Resident Evil franchise. The story is very complex and big, and even with the DLC, there are mysteries unsolved and hype you to play the sequel. Recommended to anyone who loves RE4 and previous titles, and gets bored with RE7 and after titles.

Can't explain how much I liked it the first time I played this game but I was REALLY enjoying the entire playtrough when I had no idea what to expect from this game. Legit like older Resident Evil but with added nightmare fuel so you don't understand anything.

this game is so ass
Recommended Sep 28, 2026
I already played this game 3 or 4 times, and it's one of my favorite games of all times. The gameplay isn't smooth as you'd like, but despite being a game from over ten years ago (2014), it's still great. That's why I'm playing it yet again, but now on PC (played on PlayStation 3 and 4). And if you wondering if you should try it, just... DO IT! And yes, you should play the first one, before the second. The game has great atmosphere, intriguing story and nice pace. The cons is that the gameplay is a bit clunky, and Sebastian have no realistic reactions/emotions according to what's going on. He seems dead inside, which is part of the story, but I wish he was more "human".

It's good!

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
