Just finished my first completion of the game, and I have to say, it's not bad.

That's it, it's not bad. The gunplay is fun, the story is a little weird, but just good enough to keep you entertained. The characters are a little forgettable, and the sideplot about Sebastian's life really doesn't seem to matter at all. There's literally nothing I could find in game that pertained to it besides journal entries.

I know people are saying that it's just RE4, but it really isn't JUST RE4. The gunplay is definitely far more fluid, and the controls are very responsive. The puzzles are pretty easy, but it's not a puzzle game. The game isn't really "scary" either, but after playing 18 hours of it, I honestly don't think it was meant to be scary. Or at least it doesn't feel like it. The horror aspects of the game feel more like just adrenaline-pumped, action-packed bits of fun.

All in all, don't buy it if you're looking to get scared. Don't buy it if you're looking for a NEW and INVENTIVE game. The Evil Within takes Shinji Mikami's strengths and puts them to good use. It's nothing we haven't seen before, but it does everything we have seen before pretty well.

The one and only negative I have with this game, is the damn unstable framerates. Forced capped 60 frames runs GREAT and has a nice polish to it....BUUUUUUUUUUUUT, the framerate is unstable, and there are LOTS of microstutters in this game. If you play it in the capped 30FPS mode, it runs fine, it's just slightly choppy but your eyes do get used to it.
Personally, I just powered through it at the 60 FPS cap, and my eyes eventually just gave in and I stopped noticing it.

Solid 8/10, I'll be playing NG+.

This game is basically an interactive eBook. That being said, the game's story is pretty fantastic. It unfolds very well in front of you, just at the right pace. If you're looking for a horror game, this isn't really where you should be going with it. Try maybe the first amnesia, or the penumbra games. This game has barely any scares, it just has a constant unnerving feeling from the atmosphere itself. The setting just feels....wrong. The game is pretty short, clocks in at about 4 hours, give or take an hour depending on how long you decide to sit in front of it. It's definitely worth the money regardless.

This is everything an Action RTS should be. I've been playing Dota for a very long time, and Valve did one hell of a job with this game. It's like perfection that you can enjoy on a daily basis. They really outdid themselves. I'd recommend this game to anyone who enjoys playing an action packed game without all the non-sense. Get in, kick ass, get out. It'll leave you only wanting more sick Dota action.
