Alright, so let me paint you this messy picture of “Eternal Evil.” You wanna talk survival horror? This game hits you like caffeine jitters in the middle of a quiet library. Two characters you can jump into — but not literally, obviously — each trying to keep it together in this crumbling city. And I’m not talking metaphorical crumbling; it’s like, literally falling apart while vampires are trying to give you an unfriendly hug. Life’s rough.
Okay, but here’s the twist. You got vampires, right? Not your sparkly kind, but ones that use your hesitations like a midnight snack. These baddies actually get tougher the more they snack on you. Seems unfair, but hey, life’s wild. You’re dodging these bloodsuckers, praying you’ve got enough bullets, ‘cause headshots are your new BFF. No blasting through like a hero; more like, “please let this hit.”
Now imagine managing your inventory like a Tetris game from hell. Seriously, not kidding. Puzzles? Oh yeah. None of those helpful blinky quest markers, just you figuring it out like you’re Sherlock. Go from hallways to burned-out streets, and all the while, there’s this anxiety simmering — like soup left on the stove too long.
Oh, and let me tell you about the two main peeps, Hank and Marcus. Hank’s stuck in a hotel like it’s the worst Airbnb ever, while Marcus is trying to play survivalist on the city edges. One path ends in a hopeful hangover or something, but I forgot which.
And tutorials? Forget it. You’re thrown in like learning to swim by being tossed in the deep end. There’s this weird item that helps solve puzzles if you get stuck, but it’s more, like, “here’s a lifeline, but you’re paying for it, buddy.”
Eternal Evil’s vibe is less fireworks, more ticking time bomb. It’s all cold and calculated with a minimalist approach. Just constant, crawling unease. Available on Xbox Series X|S, if you’re into that vibe. You got ammo, puzzles, and sweaty palms, all in one package.
By the way, mastered the physics of shooting too. It’s strangely satisfying ‘cause you can say bye-bye to ghoul limbs. That’s pretty much it for fans of the survival horror that put you on the edge and left you there. Grab a copy if you dare, but maybe keep a flashlight nearby. Just in case.
