Where does it say they were very disappointed? I actually thought they were rather positive. They said the demo didn't have context and that this is the kinda game you need to play for yourself. A demo room on an convention floor doesn't do these types of game justice. Also, they literally closed with:"If you're looking for an old school RE experience then this is it". Seriously, I don't need more then that.

Review Round Up:

 

• CVG: 8/10 - Forget about the Resident Evil connection: The Evil Within stands alone and still manages to feel relevant, despite far more sophisticated contemporaries.
• OXM: 8/10 - Evil Within grafts Resident Evil 4's gold standard survival action to a far less forgiving world. That it even comes close to matching Capcom's masterpiece is cause to celebrate. And sweat. And quiver.
• GamesRadar: 3.5/5 - Despite letting some of its most compelling aspects die off, The Evil Within is still worth a shot for bringing some unique ideas in the first place, and giving us a new way to think about survival horror.
• VideoGamer: 8/10 - At times it feels like a Mikami megamix. It's not unusual for directors in either film or games to recall past glories, and few do it better than Mikami. Even though this isn't his best, The Evil Within has enough magic to make it a worthy investment.
• Joystiq: 2.5/5 - It manages a few moments of inspiration, but their scarcity makes them feel like fortunate accidents rather than deliberate elements of the overall design. It's covered in blood, but the only thing truly horrifying about The Evil Within is how disappointing it is.
• IGN: 8.7/10 - While its story ends up buckling under its own ambition, there is little here that takes away from the joy of experiencing survival horror under the steady hand of a master of the craft.
• Game Informer: 9/10 - Horror fans shouldn't let the disappointing story deter them one bit, however. The Evil Within excels at keeping your palms sweaty while delivering a harrowingly rewarding gameplay trial.
• Escapist: 3/5 - The Evil Within is a noble attempt at bringing back classic survival horror, but it could have learned a thing or two from games that aren't almost ten years old. It has its moments of brilliance, scattered through periods of antagonizing design.
• Metro: 6/10 - Rather than the future of survival horror this is merely a retread of its defining moments, and even then it rarely manages to equal what has gone before - let alone exceed it.
• ShackNews: 6/10 - Resident Evil fans will have a serious case of déjà vu when playing The Evil Within. It offers much of the thrills and creepy environments that make the series so enticing, along with some of its frustrations.
• Polygon: 6.5/10 - There's something to be said for respecting your past successes and building off of them, but The Evil Within is only ever completely successful at half of that equation.
• SixthAxis: 8/10 - Despite borrowing a lot of well-worn themes from other games and movies (Hello, creepy shop mannequins from Silent Hill), The Evil Within feels fresh and exciting. It's easy to recommend to fans of the original Dead Space and the earlier Resident Evil games.
• GameTrailers: 9/10 - The Evil Within is a survival-horror masterpiece. Anyone concerned this is just another action game soaked in blood needn't worry. Tense pacing, stunning atmosphere, and terrifying enemy encounters come together to create a journey you may never forget.

So many games out that I want but I dont have the time and I really shouldn't spend the money. Gosh. I mean Alien alone will take me weeks to beat because I can only play for an hour interval or so due to my body not being able to handle the tension. Ill have watch a lets play of this game.

Yeah same, I'm trying to not buy new games until I finish my current backlog

This is so hard and so true. I have a tendency to be weak in that regard. I hear you guys talking about Shadow of Mordor being great and this voice in me goes 'BUY IT NOW YOU NEED IT YOU WANT IT'. Same goes for this one and Far Cry 4 and so on. While I still haven't gotten around to so many other games I've bought. If I just finish other games first I could get these new games for half the price they are now but the voice doesn't care. It must be now. Luckily though, I'm broke as fuck. I just have to get through the Steam Autumn sale and all will be alright until I get money again. Then I need to stay strong. Maybe we should form a support group
