![]() A Cool Trend In Late 1990s Sci-fi Films.If I had to give it a rating out of five, it might just get a five. This DLC is the cathartic payoff to the events of the previous DLC and it succeeds brilliantly at this □ So, there is some level of replay value.Īll in all, this was really cool □ Yes, it’s less frightening, somewhat more action-heavy and a bit more “cinematic”, but all of this stuff is handled well enough to be seriously enjoyable. Plus, when you complete it, you unlock both a “new game plus” mode and “Kurayami mode” ( which shrouds everywhere in darkness, forcing you to rely more heavily on the torch). There are collectables to find and optional puzzles ( that unlock document fragments) if you want to look for all of that stuff. ![]() In terms of length, this DLC took me about two and three-quarter hours to complete, albeit with occasional walkthrough use for some trickier stealth segments. The story is also reasonably compelling too, with lots of ominous drama and a few scenes from the main game being shown from a different perspective too. Yes, it can feel a bit linear and set-piece heavy at times, but the gameplay remains challenging and complex enough for these “AAA videogame” traits not to feel too annoying. So, there is still plenty of gameplay here. It’s also a bit more narrative-based than “The Evil Within: The Assignment” was, but it never forgets that it is a game rather than a movie. However, no sooner has she left the room and met a very familiar nurse, she realises that she is still inside the STEM simulation.ĪND you literally get to walk along a neon sign at one point too □ The game itself has an EPILEPSY WARNING.Īnyway, let’s take a look at “The Evil Within: The Consequence”:įollowing the events of the previous DLC, Kidman wakes up in a hospital room. Still, it’s cool that the game actually allowed me to do this □ For the most part, it ran at a playable speed – but I experienced a bit of slowdown in some more effects-heavy segments though. In order to get the game running on my computer’s Intel HD 2500 integrated graphics, I had to use a 640 x 480 resolution and turn the graphics settings down as low as they could go. Sorry about the low quality of the screenshots in this review. The two are very much halves of one larger expansion, and are well worth playing in the correct order. Yes, splitting an expansion into two parts is a bit cynical – but, since I was able to get a discounted DRM-free copy of the “season pass” for this game (containing both parts and a mini-game style DLC) for about three quid during the winter sale on GOG last year, it didn’t seem too bad.Īlthough “The Evil Within: The Consequence” (2015) can… theoretically… be played on its own, I would strongly recommend playing “The Evil Within: The Assignment” (2015) first – since not only does it pick up where that DLC left off, but the overall pacing and style of this DLC “works” in dramatic terms because of the ways it differs from the previous DLC. After I finished playing “ The Evil Within: The Assignment” (2015), I was eager to get started on the other half of this two-part expansion for “ The Evil Within” (2014).
