>make a follow-up to RE4 that is deeper, challenging, more hardcore, and better in nearly every way
>it's universally rejected
Is just like the entire RE4 fanbase just casual shitters and posers that only claim to like it due to memes and reddit calling it a masterpiece?

I just seriously can't wrap my head around this at all. Any fan of RE4's gameplay should absolutely fucking love The Evil Within, it's Mikami's magnum opus, and a game that just gets better and better on replay (the hallmark of any true game)

It's actually pretty funny how TEW is a great litmus test for people who actually genuinely play and enjoy RE4 for its gameplay vs. just spineless bandwagoning poser faggots trying to fit in.

Any RE4 fan should be absolutely fucking elated at the existence of TEW. Its Mikami's magnum opus.
