    Overall, if you want a game that brings back the type of horror that seems to have become lost to time in recent years, Tormented Souls will definitely provide. It’s creepy, it’s dark and it has an enjoyable story within its moody setting. Sure, it essentially rips off the features of the classic experiences, but it also feels like a fresh new experience thanks to a surprisingly enjoyable story that holds its own. If you’re missing an experience that properly gave you a thrill, then Tormented Souls should be able to reintroduce that excitement in your life.

    It’s hard to hold any of Tormented Souls’s flaws against the game since so many of them are by design. It’s very strict adherence to the classics of survival horror means you have a game that can easily frustrate, but also captivates with its struggle for survival like very few horror titles do these days. The story is cheese and the difficulty can feel arbitrary when we have to replay entire chapters of the game after dying to a hidden trap, just because the game refuses to include checkpoints. This is, however, a game that survival-horror fans have wanted for many years and it shows that fixed camera angles and limited saves can make for an incredibly intense horror experience even today.

    A nice classic Survival Horror with a few well implemented ideas.

    Tormented Souls takes us back to classic survival horror. However its playable issues prevent it of becoming an enjoyable and perfect horror experience.

    Tormented Souls will be loved by fans of the old-school survival horrors. It's almost a homage to them, delivering a fun narrative with some great puzzles along the way. It's whether or not you can handle the fixed camera, limited saves, and clunky combat that will decide how long you can stick with it all for.

    Неплохо для ностальгии, но древние механики можно было бы и осовременить.

The fixed camera can be annoying, in some cases your character woud clearly see an enemy, but "you" dont see it, so the game doesnt act like its there, it just breaks immersion for me. The real **** is the resource based saving though, i never liked it, what the fking point in an adventure game?? There are no skill based action mechanics, its not hard or fulfilling to play a part again, its just a chore...Right now my game crashed and I d have to play a good part over again, i think I rather go watch a playtrough...

    On the bright side good atmosphere and some decent puzzles (nothing like silent hill), but its very much worth it for the price. WIth an over the shoulder camera and normal saving it d be a 9 for me.    … Expand

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, if you're a real person with a busy life you should know there are not nearly enough saves. DO NOT BUY!!!!!… Expand
