Survival Horror at its best is a tug war between two different design philosophies: tension and action. Tension focuses on frightening situations, adversaries, and themes that cause the user to think about their virtual mortality (and on occasion their actual one); while action offers a way to fend off said tension. Simply put, survival horror is a genre built on looking fear in the eye and conquering it. The Evil Within (TEW) marks the return of veteran game designer and architect of survival horror, Shinji Mikami, to the genre that he help create. Will The Evil Within recapture the primal fear and white knuckle action that the genre deserves? Or will it be a lesson in self parody?
