I mean, the first Evil Within was a perfectly decent RE4 clone from the same guy that made RE4 but that's really all it was. It had a fun combat sandbox but the plot was dumb as rocks (and so was the original RE4 but that game was intentionally goofy and self-aware) and the entire game is just a procession of disparate horror tropes and setpieces with the "it's all a dream" conceit of the story used to string them together. It was a fun game but there wasn't much going on in terms of story, atmosphere or horror
I do miss when we would get simple, straight-forward new single player games like Evil Within though
