"The Devil in Me" is not only the title of the latest video game in The Dark Pictures Anthology, but H.H. New mega-game serial killer Sherlock Holmes has said in a lawsuit that he will end his reign of terror. But the devil in me uses his legs to relive Holmes's nightmares; so here's the question: do you get it? At least for this humble servant, the answer is yes.

It's one of your favorite horror movies.

I have to say that if I have a problem with some parts of The Dark Pictures Anthology so far, it's that I don't think they have the kind of true horror that threatens the player. Not to spoil the story, those of you who have played Man of Medan and Little Hope will know what I'm talking about. Things change with House of Ashes, and we're actually pretty close to the dangers of Dawn. The devil in me, on the other hand, has a place in this sense, and he does it well.

Why do I love the villains in The Devil Within? It is simple:

• fragmented psychology; As you discover secrets and collectibles from The Devil in Me, you'll discover what kind of villain is coming. Kate, one of the characters in the game, described him at one point in a way that I completely agree with: he's not crazy or he's not crazy.
• A villain who manages to capture the essence of endless power, evil incarnate will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. You know those bad guys in those movies where you get hit on the forehead with a hammer, plunge a knife into your shoulder, shoot yourself in the leg, and keep going without hitting the brakes? In fact, "The Devil Inside Me" ends with the same sentiment.

• creepy MO; H.H. You yourself Sherlock Holmes was already a cautious man and, in fact, at the same time he inspired very famous horror stories, such as the hotel season of American Horror Story. Well, on "The Devil Inside Me" they went a step further and used some electronic dummies to create a horrible bad vibe. As a serial killer, you could ask for more.

New mechanics that really help the game.

To be honest, I'm a fan of "games", but even I can understand that making a complete video game is just walking around, detouring at best to collect things... and possibly wearing down the player. Here's why I think all of Devil Within's new mechanics are successful, even though they clearly offer more in some cases:

• Collectible Coins: If you don't care at all about finding the game's secrets, they have a collection of coins that you can find by exploring the map that you can buy dioramas of characters/settings from The Devil I. Not me. that the latter is of interest, so I prefer it to pay "X" coins if the key sequence fails in the game; roll another life so you don't lose any items, even the possible first death can be avoided. Let's see what else they do with this one. Use and exchange of objects: It seems incredible, but it is an inventory of "habemus".
• In fact, we can find different objects during the game and even combine them with other objects to create tools that can be decisive at the end. It's the mechanic that intrigues me the most, as I should play with the demon within a few more times to see how much the key decisions I make affect the different things I end up making.

conclusion

To be honest, I'm very happy with "The Devil in Me". I have said it many times, but Man of Medan was a disappointment for me. Fortunately, The Dark Pictures Anthology is moving slowly, and The Devil in Me is the perfect way to end the first season of the series. Yeah, people want to see what kind of foot Supermassive Games kicks off season 2 with.
