    If the horror atmosphere, marvelous presentation and good level design help Tormented Souls become a sharp experience, its often underwhelming puzzles, lack of new ideas or the way they are implemented, and irregular performance are a reminder that following the legacy of a beloved series is not enough. Nonetheless, Tormented Souls is a good horror and fans of the genre will most certainly draw something from it.

    Although Tormented Souls is a commendable homage to classic survival horror games, its focus on the past is unfortunately its biggest downfall.

    "Not only is Tormented Souls an excellent traditional survival horror game, but it’s probably one of my favourite survival horror games too."Not only is Tormented Souls an excellent traditional survival horror game, but it’s probably one of my favourite survival horror games too. It may not top the absolute classics, but it comes pretty damn close. Whilst the game will probably only appeal to fans of the genre, those who are should fall in love at first fright. "

    The port to switch was great, unfortunelly have some graphics downgrade, but don't have nothing to do about his, but control, sounds and ilumination still great.
    We need analyze the game for that he is and not for what he could be, so thinking in on the purpose of game be a Survival-Horror 90's the game are great, theunique thing that history have some lacuns and this stay open for much personal interpretation.    … Full Review »

    Unless I'm missing a patch (which I'm certain I'm not) this game runs like arse on all but the PC, and maybe PS5 and XBX. It is quiteUnless I'm missing a patch (which I'm certain I'm not) this game runs like arse on all but the PC, and maybe PS5 and XBX. It is quite impressive that a game that looks like this can run as poorly as it does. What is particularly insulting is that a very large portion of the performance issues on last gen consoles could be fixed if the devs released a patch locking the frame rate to 30FPS rather than sticking with the wildly inconsistent 60FPS, and by wildly I'm talking 26FPS to 60FPS swings, due to this, and terrible frame pacing, it often feels like you are wading through superglue infused soup making Tormented Souls jarringly distracting to play and thoroughly unpleasant. A further bonus for locking the game to 30FPS on last gen console hardware would be the devs could use the "spare" overhead to improve visuals bringing it closer in line to the PC counterpart. It's simply nonsensical buffoonery from the developers. The devs could, and should, have done better here - and still could with a simple 30FPS patch at least.

    Inexcusable performance issues aside the game itself is worth a play (on PC, and maybe PS5 or XBX) harking back to the times of yore with classic tank controls and hammy voice acting, just like you'd hear in the likes of the first Resident Evil and Silent Hill. On last gen consoles this game is a hard pass due to terrible performance and visual issues, on a moderately good PC or current gen consoles the game is a solid 7/10, good, but with plenty of room for improvement.    … Full Review »
