    DO NOT BUY!!!!! This game is fat phobic and offensive to the disabled. It's so bad that in their hospital the only way to get to the elevator is up 3 stairs. LOL. That's how little they thought about actual disabled people when they were creating their game full of monsters in wheelchairs. The wheelchair monsters can magically roll up stairs. The story is FULL of plot holes. Also,DO NOT BUY!!!!! This game is fat phobic and offensive to the disabled. It's so bad that in their hospital the only way to get to the elevator is up 3 stairs.

    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 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 30FPSUnless 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.    … Expand

    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME... This game is terrible... where do I even begin?! Graphics are very early PS2 like if not even worst, and that is NOT the Nintendo Switch 's fault because the Switch has and runs many 1st and 3rd party beautiful games, this game is just ugly! Terrible story if there is any, because the game is so confused and has no idea what to be? Resident evil like tank controlsDO NOT BUY THIS GAME... This game is terrible... where do I even begin?! Graphics are very early PS2 like if not even worst, and that is NOT the Nintendo Switch 's fault because the Switch has and runs many 1st and 3rd party beautiful games, this game is just ugly! Terrible story if there is any, because the game is so confused and has no idea what to be? Resident evil like tank controls with Outlast looking like monsters and a Silent hill creepiness wanna be? And it doesn't succeed to be Amy of those, not even close, voice actors are probably homeless people hired by the developers of this game and 0 lips movements during dialogs, music is literally a Resident evil wanna be but fails horribly, I just bought this game on the Nintendo e-shop for $14.99 and I regret it, I should have bought a 6 packs and a pack cigarettes instead and that would've made me much happier than spending it on this trashy game, so please DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS CRAPPY GAME.… Expand

    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.

    Tormented Souls is a great option for survival horror fans, especially for those who love the original Resident Evil and Silent Hill games. Despite a few technical hiccups, it's a 10-hour adventure that will keep you with your eyes wide open and your heart beating fast until the end.

    Tormented Souls is a fabulous return to classic survival horror, the likes of which haven’t been seen for years. Even horror novices will gel with it because it updates the genre just enough to be accessible in 2022.
