The Evil Within: The Executioner DLC (Xbox One)

The Executioner is the final DLC for Evil Within. It's a stand alone story that puts you in the shoes of the infamous Keeper, one of the deadliest and creepiest of all the bosses.

An unseen man enter the STEM, he takes the form of the Keeper, and is on the lookout for his daughter. He only has the girls diaries to follow in his search, and comes up against plenty of foes, familiar ones at that.

You play in first person, which is very strange. You walk slow and you clip on everything, the Keeper's frame is so big. It can be frustrating to play. It's non stop fighting, you fight small waves of enemies and ultimately a boss. Overall, you're fighting your way towards the next boss fight. Some of the bosses include one of the giants, Joseph and even our old friend, Sebastian.

You pick up coins that you can spend on upgrades for your health, speed and capacity of equipment. Melee combat is your primary weapon. You also have throwable items and can also grab and throw enemies.

It's pretty boring and slow, if you like the dull, constant combat, you'll enjoy it. But why would you? It's basically an homage to an iconic character from the original game. I mean how weak is the story? A random guy, no name and faceless, looking for his random daughter? You can tell a lot of effort went into that... pass on this, unless you bought the season pass.

2.4/5
