The Indie Survival Horror Game that Almost Nailed It - Evil Tonight Review

Evil Tonight is a throwback to classic Resident Evil-style survival horror, but it doesn’t quite stick the landing. Here’s what went wrong—and what worked. I break down what Evil Tonight gets right—its atmosphere, visuals, and tone—and where it falls apart: outdated mechanics, frustrating design choices, and a refusal to evolve past the 90s. This isn’t just a nostalgia trip—it’s a case study in how style can’t always save substance. Whether you're into survival horror game reviews, retro horror analysis, or just want to know if Evil Tonight is worth your time in 2025, this video has you covered. I played the Nintendo Switch eShop version on the Switch 2, but it's also available for PC/Steam. #survivalhorror #gaming 00:00 - Intro 00:08 - Overview 01:13 - 2 Big Design Flaws 03:18 - What I liked 03:43 - Who is this for? 05:07 - Outro
