Okay, so there’s this game, Eternal Evil. You know, one of those first-person survival horror setups we’ve all seen growing up. Two characters you juggle around with, in a city that’s teetering on the brink. Classic, right? Resources are scant, and the whole deal is to keep yourself breathing till sunrise.
Now, picture this: you’re basically up against vampires that don’t just take a nibble and leave. Nope. They feast – like, really feast. You let ‘em get any closer, and suddenly, they’re faster, tougher, an absolute nightmare to shake off. Every time you run into them, it’s a gamble. Strike first? Stay alive longer. Simple as that — or not.
And oh, the fun doesn’t stop there. Eternal Evil’s core trick is this feeding biz. Stand too long twiddling your thumbs, and that basic scuffle turns into some gruesome chase scene. You’re just trying to hang on, yet in reality? You’re sort of digging your own grave. Lovely.
Then there’s the shooting. Forget the frenetic blasting kind — nah, this one’s slow, like molasses. Every bullet? Count it as precious, ’cause headshots are your new best friends. And it’s not a party of zombies mowing down; it’s you, calculator in hand, hoping you’ve packed enough.
It goes beyond just pulling triggers, though. Your inventory? Tighter than a miser’s grip, no quest markers in sight, and puzzles sprinkled across like confetti. Wait, is that even the right metaphor? Doesn’t matter. You either spot what you need, or you don’t move forward. Seems fair.
And there’s a twist: two storylines. You got Hank Richards, a detective type, trapped in some hotel (cozy, right?), and his ex-military bud Marcus, tackling things from outside the city. They uncover different parts, but only one gets to cross the finish line. Place your bets, folks.
Anyway, the scenes flip – hallways to streets dilapidated beyond repair – keeping that tension meter running hot. And needless to say, if you’re looking for direction or hints, nope. Tutorials and maps? Forget it. You’re flying blind, adapting on the go, or paying the price.
Hands down, Eternal Evil doesn’t hand out freebies. Hence, that optional doo-dad to auto-solve puzzles. But, hear me out, there’s always a price. Every action in this game has some kind of cost, so keep your wallet out… metaphorically speaking.
The vibe here isn’t about flashy. It’s about quiet dread, minimalist UI, maybe a comic-style scene or two. But mostly, silence — tension running the show. And this isn’t just noise; it’s the essence of classic survival horror. It’s got what you’d expect: pacing that’s deliberate, pressures that refuse to let go. Available now on Xbox Series X|S, if you’re up for it.
