9 Video Games That Put Insane Effort Into Details Nobody Noticed

5. The Giant Crow - The Evil Within 2

The Evil Within 2's giant crow is one of the strangest Easter eggs from the past few years, and it's actually kind of shocking that anyone actually stumbled upon it. A callback to the original game's giant pig, the difference here is that the trigger to make the enlarged animal appear isn't something you'll come across accidentally.

To force the giant crow into existence, you need to find three regular enemies who are hiding underneath cars and trigger their animations without being seen. When you've done this, they'll make their way to the Northern Safe House where they can be stealth killed. Once you've done this, head back out and you'll find a huge crow standing in the middle of the street.

Why? I have no idea, but the extra gel from killing this big bird makes it more than worth tracking down.
