The Evil Within – The Assignment (DLC) Review | Digital Chumps
DC:
The first of three DLC for The Evil Within sees Detective Juli Kidman take the starring role, giving players both a fresh perspective on the events of the original game, and new gameplay mechanics.
In preparation for playing through The Assignment I went back and recently replayed most of the original game. Several months after first playing it, it remains an intense experience. The constant sense of dread and uneasiness that permeates throughout the base game carries over into the first DLC. Here, players take the role of Detective Kidman. Where was she during most of the original game? Why did something just seem a little bit 'off' about her? In re-watching the opening cutscene, her curiously dismissive look regarding the emergency call to Beacon hospital makes all the more sense now after playing The Assignment.
