    There were some bugs, but the material was fresh.
    I hope there are more sex erotic horror games like this.
    I look forward to the next series.

    This is the sort of game a church reverend would make a misbehaving child play.
    I don't normally play anything outside of action types of games, but this one is great. I know its supposed to be on the horror side, but the graphical depiction of a romanticized Hell is just fantastic here. Highly recommend.

    If you want an impression what's hell feels like, play this game. It will provide hellish controls, hellish bad gameplay, and other similar great features. First time i did a refund.

    You know a game is bad when you give up after 15 minutes. Game is not engaging, isn't scary, graphics is horrible.
    I finished Silent Hill 2 like 7 times and even played Silent Hill 1 with horrible controls and graphics and loved it, so if I can't play this, it means it's not even decent for idiots.

    Agony starts well, introduces you to a lost soul in hell in search of another chance for living, throws a story of Red Goddenss whose appreantly capable of granting you a second life but then it fails to explain the motives behind the main character wanting a second life and motives behind the Red Goddess wanting to help the main character. it almost feels like there are pieces where the story goes well but then again it turns very ambiguous at times and makes you question. the ending is kinda cool to watch but also it ends unsatisfactory and bland.
    the biggest problem of the game is in its gameplay. At times the game wants to be a stealth, but then it is never explained very well how to pass some enemies, mechanics are never shown and told properly to let the gamer know of their options. there are chasing sequences that are almost like super scripted, enemy Ai is weirdly sensetive at time and weirdly unsensative at times which makes the game very frustrating to progress.
    You get to have ability to posses other beings, but it is never explained how you gain the ability to posses different demons, nor possesing a demon makes the game interesting, there are no fights and killing people doesnt give any satisfaction.
    Puzzles are bland some for many areas it is impossible to understand what the hell are we suppose to do, other than wondering aimlessly and finding out stuff are progressing some how ?
    the only cool part about the game is the Art direction, amazing details, some areas are let down and the entire game beauty mostly lies in the part where we are in the forrest. The other areas start to get a bit boring at times.
    The game doesnt really have any sense of horror after the while because it gets frustrating, the checkpoints are weird and the mazes are so bland and stupid.
    Overall I give 8/10 for the art direcition but 0 for everything else.    … Expand

    Мой обзор касается версии Unrated! Не обычной Agony, а именно Agony unrated!

Тут игра реально крайне некомфортная, не играйте если не понимаете на что идете и если вам меньше 18. А так - очень необычный игровой опыт, Анрейтед версия - продукт для немного извращенцев, очень специфический, но тем он и ценен, такие вещи выпускают очень редко, таких эмоций я ни от одной игры даже близко не получал.

    There is no consistency whatsoever. The movement physics is all screwed up, and the environment is like Mike Pompeo’s armpits. I’ve no idea what type of substance the creators of this crap sandwich were on while programming it.

    Mind you, this is the enhanced version of the original Agony title which came out mid-2018. This one allegedly includes “improvements”, some bare chested chick cutscenes and a small number of bug fixes. To actually view this game’s Steam page, you have to swear to jesus, mohammed, moses and buddha you’re at least 18, and you don’t mind gory stuff and sexual content, otherwise Steam will bar your butt.

Like a pizza with a pineapple on it that you ate at a party after a few shots of tequila. It's bad, but who cares, nobody cares! Yes, it's like returning from a date and you feel like it was ok, but tomorrow you have work and who have time to waste on waiting for a call from her. You just decide to find some chicks on tinder instead because you don't even think about OK dates. I understand why people were or still are so angry. This game is an example of how to get a brand new car and smash it in your garage. You feel the urge to scream? Because that's the one and the only scream you get playing this game.
    I'm flaming right now, but it's ok to play. If you are bored as hell then go to hell and play agony, why not? Ah yes... money. The price. Cash. Yes, the devs don't deserve the full price for this. I felt like they should pay me for playing it, overall it's too expensive. If you want to try it buy it only on a big sale 60% or better. Otherwise avoid it.    … Expand

    They (the developers) offer the paltry excuse that their publisher has deemed it necessary and that there are legal issues, as if this has come to a surprise to them. As it turns out, two parties sign a contract, any devil can tell you that. The developers obviously knew for quite some time that this disaster would unfold, but did nothing to prevent it. Their whole concept was based on the gore and sex and sadly it was all the game had to survive. Agony's sales are based on deception and purchasing this wretched, weak "game" only rewards these charlatans. Do not buy, even to refund afterwards. It is a waste of time.

    As a last note, with a cursory glance at the few positive reviews, I find it suspicious that so many parrot the same (false) generic compliments and praise. . . and so many of these accounts have just one review. . . very interesting indeed.    … Expand

    Here we go.
    Agony is a First person Survival Horror where you, some jerkwad, has ended up in hell and the only thing you know is that
    you've got to get to the "red goddess."

    The Game hits some good points and misses some important points too. To say anything I would say it's really just lacking polish.

    The First thing I noticed about the game is it's atmosphere. They were going for uncomfortable fleshy hell and they god damned nailed it.
    If I could go through all the words for gross and list them here we wouldn't have time. From the moment you touch down from the ♥♥♥♥ entrance the world is bones
    gore and just....squishy. It's as if someone took the word "Moist"
    turned the dial up to 103% and turned it into a game. You've got corridors literallymade of mawing jaws and other martyrs,as they are called,
    roaming around speaking madness. Every step through hell mushes and blechs. where ever you are, you feel that something is just waiting to rip you apart.

    Now that being said the game is plauged by liniarity. Or I've just been playing it wrong, you tell me. I feel like I've missed a lot of nooks and crannies yet
    whenever I see a way that would be the clear path I go and explore some Corner
    You wouldn't usually find only to have that progress the game and lock me out of where I was which can be frustrating if you are trying for all the collectables.
    Though they seem to only unlock dev art and such.

    Next thing mechanics. The game functions as a stealth crawl through through the layers, at least thats what it wants you to think. Your first
    encounter with an enemy, And oh god the enemies Scratch that, we are going to talk about the monsters now.

    As if straight from HP lovecrafts wet dream! Or the amnesia monster's wet dream. Pick your own flavour I don't care.
    These Things In all their unholy titular glory (((huehue)) are some of the most
    uncomfortable creatures I've ever seen. From boobzilla to mr grabby here appearance alone makes you want to avoid them, you know asides from the whole death thing

    So then why, in a "survival horror" game do i find these things as more of an inconvience then i find them scary. This is where the polish i mentioned earlier
    could really use some work. **** is probably the most frightning design by social standards and they
    introduce her very well. however immediatly after that they throw the dark mystique out the window and give you a
    full shot of her enterance. As if they missed the cardinal rule of horror, Show as little of your monster as neccisary. Except There she is in all her "ahem" Glory.

    Now Ham hands. Who is actually the monster I'm most afraid of. I dunno, he's just got so many grabby things, and i hate being touched so it's just They keep his introduction really well done. They kind of just litter him around the game before he shows up so in the back of your mind you never really know when you'll have to worry about him. They only gripe i have is his movement and creep factor is really just hurt when he moves like he forgot he had collision detection.

    But alright let's hit the mechanics now. In that aspect there's not really much to say. I don't really have much to say
    because it's been done....well. Your characters movement is a tiny bit janky but not to terrible as to ruin the game. When your character dies however you get
    a chance to not be dead sometimes and you can fly your soul around to go possess some other poor sod trapped in hell. I say sometimes though because it's
    not really clear when this ability is supposed to trigger. There's been a few times I died when I knew there was someone near by i could "Claim" yet
    it just killed me off and I had to restart.

    There is a way to level in the game but as of this point in my playing it's pretty much a useless feature. you can find
    fruits of eden to get skills like However with the way the game functions they are pretty inconsiquential...

    TL/DR
    Over all my first impression of the game is, much like metacritcs view, is mixed. It can be unnecessarily frustrating and the game tends to take the reigns from you just when your starting to get into it. I'll say give it a shot but wait till it goes on sale    … Expand

    Very good game. First of all its not a horror and not very stealth. It is an action story with the unique atmosphere and some stealth-elements. But this atmosphere is perfect! Is is a real creepy hell without cloying stereotypes about horned demons and beauty succubes. This game is a trip to crazy Gehenna with a lot of mythology. 10/10

    Firstborn perversions and morbid game design get boring quickly and the player is left only with his own pain caused by the bad game. So at least there lives Agony up to its name. [Issue#287]

    Agony is a game of insane contrasts, both fascinating and embarrassing. Therefore I still don’t know whether its developers are geniuses or amateurs and although I believe it deserves a relatively high score, I actually cannot recommend it unconditionally. [08/2018, p.84]
