If you’d like to up your odds of survival in The Evil Within, you can do that by pre-ordering the game. Doing so will gift you with a potentially life-saving ‘Fighting Chance’ pack, which includes a med kit, double-barrel shotgun — because one barrel is reserved for peasants who don’t pre-order their games — some green gel used for upgrading Sebastian’s attributes, and special Agony Crossbow bolts in both poison and incendiary flavors.

If you’d like to know why all of that could come in handy, you can read my hands-on preview of the game. My mom told me it’s a fascinating read, and she’s quite the critic.
