Ah, the Evil Within. You aren't missing much. One of my biggest disappointments in a console generation full of them. After the first three chapters it turns into a straight-up action game and all of the stealth mechanics are almost entirely useless. Not that they weren't already useless. On my second playthrough, I discovered that jogging past a large group of enemies is apparently just as stealthy as crouch-walking for ten minutes. I paid full price though, so it stung just that much more.

Negative impressions didn't stop me from getting Alien: Isolation today, though. Got a lot of things on Black Friday, actually. Shadow of Mordor, Disney Infinity 2.0 Marvel starter pack, TMNT Bebop action figure (not a sale, they just had it). I don't have big expectations for the games, I was just tired of not having anything to play for my dusty Xbox One. Plus I got Bourne Legacy and GI Joe: Retaliation for my brother.

Sadly, no pics. The items have been plundered by family members who are paying me back and then returning them to me later as Christmas presents. It's a weird new thing we all apparently decided to do this year... I must have missed that meeting. *shrug*
