    Toren really is about its narrative, and that is arthouse gold. Like the finest of foreign cinema, this game challenges how the wisdom behind blockbuster design would dictate a game should be put together. It's constrained by budget and, perhaps, a lack in confidence to go all the way and risk complete innovation, but it's a beautiful, emotive, and powerful experience, and it's going to be one of my games of the year. If not one of my favourite games ever.

    A beautiful and thought provoking exploration into so many different ideas on life, which can be completed in one joyous, yet bewildering, sitting.

    It’s a thought provoking game with a lot of heart, and it left me excited to see what Swordtales decides to put out next.

    Boasting some superb art design and fun battle/puzzles mash-ups, Toren is a worthwhile experience let down by some shoddy combat and bugs.

    Toren is a nice addition to PS4 indies' library. At first sight, it seems like a classical adventure (platforming, puzzle, exploring, a little bit combat...) but underneath all that it explores vital concepts like death and life, and apply them directly to gameplay. I wish it lasted a little bit more because it's a really short game.

    Interesting premise, story, and game that fails to deliver in the end. The visuals and music are the best part of the game which relaxes you.Interesting premise, story, and game that fails to deliver in the end. The visuals and music are the best part of the game which relaxes you. The game however doesn't feel deep enough to be satisfying. The gameplay is very basic, repetitive, and not fun. Overall, its a decent attempt at a videogame from a first time developer. I liked the spiritual aspect of the game.… Full Review »
