If you are playing (or planning to play) The Evil Within on PC you absolutely need to get familiar with the console commands. The game is capped to 30 FPS by default and has a ridiculously bad field of view. The console commands improve the situation, though not totally fixing the field of view thing.

About Gore Reviews:
Gore Reviews is a review series reviewing blood and gore effects in games that are considered gory.

Attention to detail will be rewarded with high scores, while flashy, but superficial effects (such as blood puffs) will not impact the score much.
The final score is calculated by the following categories:
Body damage - 30%
Environment - 30%
Animations and sounds - 30%
The feel - 10%

Why is gore important? It's simply feedback for the action on the screen. What's more fun, seeing detailed response for every hit you make on an enemy or seeing the enemy sleeping peacefully after a mortar exploded by their feet? Compare 1987`s Robocop movie to 2014`s Robocop movie. Also "Saving Private Ryan" wouldn't have nearly the same effect without the gore too.
