    Unfortunately for you, the demons are overpowered (and sometimes come out of nowhere, hidden by the darkness), the puzzles are poorly-designed, and the possession has random rules and is left up to you to figure out. In other words, the gameplay is as bad as everything else about Agony. It’s not often you see a game that fails in almost literally every aspect imaginable, but that’s exactly what you get here.

    Even simple things like ducking are broken - pressing duck while standing will juggle the camera around into some kind of ducked state, moving then will result in another camera wiggle into the crouch position.
    You can see your feet, so its nice to see climbing is just a messed up camera and walking straight up the walls. Deny it gifted!    … Full Review »

It looks and runs terribly, which makes navigating the confusing mazelike areas a bit frustrating. The puzzles, skill tree (which I didn’t touch upon but makes almost no difference to how the game plays), and demon possession all feel rather underwhelmingly undercooked. Despite all this, there was something there that hooked me. After the awful opening section of the game, I found myself intrigued as to what was around the next corner and how the game would progress. Underneath all its faults, there’s actually some solid ideas and aesthetic design that could have been made into something good. Should you pay €19.99 for it? No. Should you pay €1.99 for it? Probably not,… but if you’re willing to see it through, it may not end up being a complete waste of time – especially if you dive into the genuinely enjoyable Succubus Mode.

    It is worth noting however that the PC version of Agony Unrated looks a lot better than the Switch version, so if you are tempted then perhaps that could be an alternative option. I imagine it probably runs far better on PC too."

    Extremely laggy. It shouldn't have been released.

    I doubt I'd finish this game on PC either though. Having to replay sections because of the lack of a saving system is just insane boring for me.

    I didn't play more than 30 minutes I think but the aesthetic of the game, both sound and graphics, seemed excellent.    … Full Review »
