It's a truly horrifying scene, perhaps particularly due to the apparent relationship between the two characters, and the 4K resolution revealing the grim, near-life like details of the gory scene as it plays out.Īfter shooting the psycho to death, it becomes apparent that this "quiet town" is anything but, and is now swarming with crazed, zombie-like creatures that hunt down and kill anything that's still living.

Closer inspection reveals what seems to be a young mother gone mad, force feeding a young boy pieces of human flesh.

Instead, players will travel between linear sequences and more open hubs, perhaps similar to games like Deus Ex.Ĭreeping along the road into the town to meet up with a Mobius strike team, Castellanos encounters a citizen who runs into a nearby house, hunched over and chattering jibberish. It is by no means fully "open world," of course. The Evil Within 2 casts off the linearity of the previous game, opting for a much larger, much more open format. The Evil Within is very much like Silent Hill in that regard, where the lack of consistency in the world itself drip-feeds anxiety and paranoia into proceedings.Īfter emerging into what Mobius describes as a "peaceful town," Castellanos encounters something horrifying. It's hard to tell what's real, and what is a delusion. Reality is not what it seems inside STEM, and Detective Castellanos' mind is fractured as a result of the first game. The first sequences have you getting chased by what can only be described as a horse-sized human head monster, comprised of screaming faces and wielding a giant buzzsaw arm for good measure. The Evil Within at 4K resolution with HDR and 60 frames per second is a vivid, immersive experience.
