I'm really surprised about this ps4 version, maybe its ideal and native game platform. Playing it with a ps4 pad is a new enjoyment. Silent Hill creator's love for this game is completely understandable. Great job Darrel and Stormnid games! An indie masterpiece.… Expand

   After many years, Remothered: Tormented Fathers finally releases on console. The question remains though, was it worth the wait? The answerAfter many years, Remothered: Tormented Fathers finally releases on console. The question remains though, was it worth the wait? The answer is a resounding, "YES!"
   
   Remothered: Tormented Fathers takes everything good about old-school horror and meshes it into one phenomenal and terrifying experience that any fan of horror would be foolish to pass by. From it's beautiful art design and haunting atmosphere, Remothered is an absolute delight.
   
   From the moment it begins, you can't help but be sucked into this dreary and deadly world. I honestly found it hard to put my controller down once the horror of being stalked by these vicious psychos truly begins.
   
   In terms of story, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything better than Remothered. It's truly one of a kind and something so good, I don't even want to say anything more because I may actually spoil some of the amazing twists and turns. The less you know about the story, the better. I've played many triple-A games and never encountered a story this sadistic and original.
   
   Gameplay is tense and heart-pounding. You will spend a lot of time sneaking around the mansion and avoiding these crazy characters. Most old-school games that Remothered takes many of its inspirations from can't even compare to the types of chases that you will experience here. I really loved being chased because the soundtrack is just incredible.
   
   Remothered: Tormented Fathers may be a bit shorter then horror games in the past but this one is worth every penny of its price tag. By far one of the most original and engaging horror titles I have played in years. I can't wait to play it again and find every collectible!… Expand

   Remothered: Tormented Fathers is a survival horror game that reminded me a lot of Psycho (1960) and Silence of the Lambs (1991). It is tense,Remothered: Tormented Fathers is a survival horror game that reminded me a lot of Psycho (1960) and Silence of the Lambs (1991). It is tense, terrifying and anxiety-inducing. For a low budget production, I was very pleased with the end result. These are the kind of indie horror games that are worth playing, you can sense the passion from the developers.
   
   The story is interesting and rich, leaving a lot of room for development in future sequels. There are some very obvious influences and similarities from certain horror movies. But I think this saga can stand on its own. Rosemary is a good character although we don't really get to learn much from her. But what really sells the game are the enemies. The Red Nun has an awesome design, and Jennifer is absolutely terrifying. Especially with the way she shrieks and chases you.
   
   A big issue that this game has, is the gameplay. At least on the nintendo switch, the controls are clunky and awkward. The enemies' movement patterns make zero sense at times. It feels like they always know where you are hiding. If you enjoy stealth in videogames you won't mind that most of the game is like that. I'm personally more inclined towards combat-based horror games, but I enjoyed Tormented Fathers for its aesthetic and story.
   
   Unfortunately, the Nintendo Switch version has a lot of bugs and issues that became annoying at several points. Some of these bugs caused me to restart the game, having to repeat entire sections. Also making it unable to progress and continue towards the end. I think these issues should be fixed because I think it can really break the game. Other than that, Tormented Fathers was an enjoyable experience and I can't wait for the sequel to come out in a few months.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Huh? That was my first take for the first 3-4 hours, before i gave up and looked at a walkthrough to find the first object. Plus, it seemed like a D-rated movie at first, with Felton saying the same 3 sentences over and over for the whole game. And you, whenever you hide in a closet, saying the same 2 sentences over and over - "I can't take it anymore. I need to get out of here." Plus in a women's voice that sounds like a man's. Whoever hired that voice artist has strange tastes. All of this was driving me nuts. But just as I was about to throw away the game and give it a "D", the special effects and the story line actually started to improve and continued to, up until the ending, which made no sense whatsoever, even after I read a translation of the author's interview about the game. That said, it improved enough to get a B-- in the end. But whatever program they used to build it was annoying, because it put white dots where every frickin' drawer was to open, most of which were empty, and the others had readily available "distraction objects" that were already on top of most furniture. So it was a waste of time checking the drawers and most cabinets. It would have been nice to have some of the objects you need to find hidden in some of the drawers. Instead of like the handle in the kitchen being essentially non-visible on a shelf. Not being Italian, i hate to rag on the English translations, but they really had major spelling and grammar errors to the point that at least 10% didn't make sense. I noticed that for the other languages (Korean, etc.) they had multiple native speakers that reviewed it for corrections. Obviously not so for English (2 italians that had the same last name). Not that it's a huge deal, but for a big project like this you would think they would do at least a little due diligence to get a native English speaker's opinion. Like "his notarial career". What? A notary is not a "career". It's a person's side-job who witnesses signatures in his spare time for a fee. Just a lot of things like that which were a big disconnect/turn-off. In any case, it was a nice effort, but i was expecting a little bit smoother operation in looking/finding objects and a few straightforward clues (for the first ones, in any case) - I hate to compare it to Resident Evil 2, but i guess that's what i was expecting - and got....well, not so much. I will say the Red Nun was terrifying, but i was pissed that my upgraded weapons did nothing to her, lol. Overall, I guess what i'm saying is that i wish a well-known screenwriter or other professional helped proof and smooth out the final product, so it didn't seem so "weird" and awkward. Again, maybe just a cultural thing. But i do speak multiple languages (French, some Taiwanese), so it's not just like I'm being an (American) English snob. In any case, there were some other great features besides the Red Nun, like how you save with the mirrors, the maze in the basement, the surprise Jennifer in the attic. Like I said earlier, the game starts out as a dud, but 1/4 of the way actually starts getting fun and interesting and it gets better and better, until the ending explanation which just confused me more. In any case, probably a good buy if you're into Silent Hill-esque or Japanese manga products, or just like off-the-wall nerdy non-mainstream stuff. If you're expecting something that is intuitive from the get-go and makes a lot of sense, and is a good story that makes some sense...not so much. But good for some frights and a scary atmosphere starting 1/4 of the way through, if you're patient. My wife asked if she should play it - i said "probably not. You won't understand it and the first part makes no sense and you can't figure out what you're supposed to do or where to go to find objects initially." Sorry guys - but it was still a good effort, nonetheless. 6.5/10… Expand

   This game costs $10 more on consoles than it does on PC and offers no new content to justify the difference in price. Nice try...
