2. The Evil Within

The Evil Within Gameplay

A police detective is investigating a series of murders at a mental hospital. Amidst freaky disfigured attackers, and an evil plot revolving around a mind control machine, the detective learns to fight or flee. Tango Gameworks developed the game with director Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil’s creator).

An intricate bomb system can be set up on surrounding objects, or disarmed by playing minigames. Attention, pyromaniacs! Enemies can only be stopped by fire, once they are already in a weakened state. After winning a game, players can access a New Game Plus mode. This fresh game will include new features, as well as access to previously won items or skills.

Keep running. This doesn’t look good.

What do you mean you can’t disarm that bomb?
