The Evil Within is:
An Action-Oriented Survival Horror.
A Horror game with a lot of plot holes or plot mysteries.
Mostly based on Resident Evil with some homages to other games.
Centered in Gore Horror rather than Psychological horror.
Stereotypical Cop Action/Survival Game.
Plot-driven instead of Character-driven.
Pretentious.
Nice but not Awesome.
A game with obvious puzzles.
A game that will certainly become a franchise.

The Evil within is not:
A Stealth Survival Horror game.
A game with a very coherent plot.
A game with deep character development
A masterpiece of the genre.
An original story,
A very scary and disturbing game.

To summarize my experience with this game: I should advise that this is not a game for a mature audience. I think it is a game for teenagers and not grown-up adults. Fans of Siren, Silent Hill, Clock Tower and other stealth horror games should probably avoid this one. First Person lovers should also avoid it. The puzzles are, unfortunately, way too obvious and you don´t even need to look for clues to solve them. Ammunition is not a problem. You can run out with certain types, but you will always have some, even on hard difficulties. One of the worst things in this game is that you have no option to choose to have a less blunt and dull character in the first run and you are stuck with the stereotypical American cop (I should get a donut for that). That kind that acts-first and thinks-after with a very obvious backstory. The DLC's are not a big deal, so buy only when it's cheap. The game is enjoyable and I could recommend simply because it might be a fun time for people, but you should check some gameplay on youtube, preferably without commentary, because most YouTubers will praise the game too much almost, looking like they are merchandising it (and they probably are). This game will not make your jaws drop, cry or scream about anything, but it has some enjoyable things and nice graphics. Don't buy the Season Pass, you will pay for new DLC's that will never come at all (Why do they still have them on sale?). The Evil Within 2 came with much delay (Pretty sure that people with the season pass got nothing for their money back...) and also sorry for not buying and reviewing it, but the protagonist of the series it's just not convincing to make a sequence of it... Buy this when it's cheap so you won't regret it if it sucks for you. I hope this helps people making a good purchasing choice.
