i agree with the negative reviews no cap This game is nonsense. The mansion, the enemies, the protagonist herself (Caroline), the story, none of it makes any logical sense. The criticisms of the horrifying voice acting, and combat, I agree. Where my agreement diverges is on the puzzles and atmosphere. It’s clear Tormented Souls abandoned realism, logic and story telling to achieve the vibe it was going for. And, it nailed it. To get the combat out of the way first, It’s terrible. I hate to use this term, but the combat is clunky and bare-bones. Your options in combat are two melee attacks, two ranged weapons and a backwards dodge. That’s it. Think of the Resident Evil 2 remake combat but jank. You shoot the “zombie” ‘till it falls over. Then, you run up to the zombie and “stab” it a couple times until it dies. For Tormented Souls, there is a delay when preforming any of these actions. Additionally, your melee weapon doesn’t magically appear in your hands like the marketing video shows. Instead, you have to open your inventory and switch weapons from there. On to the backwards dodge, I first thought it was not safe from the jank either. I thought it nearly useless, because dodging causes your character to drop her aim. In turn, the enemy is on you again before you can ready your weapon to fight back. You’re better off turning around and running to create distance. However, I have found niche uses for it as I progressed through the growingly deadly mansion. Next, the puzzles are great, but they get really difficult to figure out towards the end of the game. There is no way in hell I was ever going to figure out that grandfather clock puzzle and that gramophone/rhythm puzzle without a walkthrough. Even after all of that, I still recommend Tormented Souls. There is a sincere vibe in game. Like, the game knows it’s horror and is trying to give you what you paid for: Immersion, tension and scares. This game is a joy to play late at night. For example, it was midnight. I’m sitting in my chair with my small dog sleeping in my lap. The lights are off. I’m rummaging through all the text files and clues in the game looking for solutions to my puzzles. My consciousness drifts deeper into the game as I progress. I get to this valve puzzle in a generator room. With a few turns of valves the puzzle is completed. I walk out the door to carry on and find an enemy that wasn’t there before. He makes a break for me in his wheelchair that’s screaming for some WD-40. Now, as I said, the combat is terrible and jank. Being aware of this, I panic. My dog is looking up at me confused. The enemy slashes me with his 16 inch long knife fingers. I run back through the door I came from and open my inventory to heal. My character has taken damage and her heart is beating loud and fast. This sound tips my dog’s anxiety over. He freaks out. Running throughout the house barking as loudly as possible. My wife wakes up and jumps out of bed to investigate the commotion. Consequently, I have to bust out the headphones for Tormented Souls, and the game is even better with them. I should also note that the game does have bugs, but nothing that infuriated me or broke the game. I enjoyed this game and am likely to come back to it again for the 100%.
What an incredible story. The game collected all the best from the genre, and it's true. Starting with static camera angles and inventory management, and ending with a deep story narrative and a twisting plot. Some of the puzzles are really challenging. Many "ToDo" things you need to keep in mind while playing, because it is easy to forget to return to some place or to do something, so play it using your own notes.
Fun homage to the original RE games. Fixed camera angles, tank controls and inter-looping level design. I really enjoyed my time with this game and would be looking forward to whatever else this studio makes. The combat is ok - not a lot of weapon feedback and not a lot of enemy variety and and end game boss fight that is just total BS but on the whole a really fun experience with some really satisying puzzles and sense of discovery
Review EN/RU (Firstly in English / Затем на русском) It took me just under 10 hours to finish the game. By the end, I had 7 film rolls left and enough ammo to take out another dozen enemies. I wouldn't call the game difficult, but it was quite scary in places. And it's permeated with the excellent atmosphere of classic horror from start to finish. Pros: [*] - If you feel nostalgia for the horror games of the 90s and early 2000s—this game is perfect for you. [*] - Exploration is captivating and rewarding. [*] - Great use of fixed camera angles and sound—you always hear the monsters before you see them. [*] - The monsters themselves are creepy and unpleasant. There aren't too many of them—6-7 types—but it's enough for a game of this length. [*] - Most of the puzzles are logical and not too absurd. [*] - The main character is adorable. Cons: [*] - The combat is quite primitive, not just in its animations (which is forgivable) but also in its strategy: the best tactic is to blast them with the shotgun/stunner first and then finish them off with the crowbar/nail gun. This pattern is figured out pretty quickly, and soon you start to feel a little too comfortable. [*] - Although I solved most puzzles myself, I had to google a few—the alien key, the endless room, etc. I'm not sure I would have figured them out without the net. [*] - And of course, the final quarter of the game takes place in the sewers. Why not? Why not trade the cool interiors of the mansion and hospital for generic dirty walls? Fortunately, it ended just before it had a chance to get tedious. [*] - The local Nemesis is not a threat at all and is completely countered by simply leaving and re-entering the room. Honestly, its mechanics feel undercooked. I'm looking forward to the second game! Мне потребовалось чуть меньше 10 часов, чтобы закончить игру. К концу у меня осталось 7 плёнок и достаточно патронов, чтобы вырезать ещё десяток врагов. Я бы не назвал игру сложной, но местами — довольно страшной. И пропитанной отличной атмосферой классических хорроров — от начала и до конца. Плюсы: [*] - Если испытываете ностальгию по хоррорам 90-х и начала нулевых — эта игра то, что нужно. [*] - Исследование мира захватывает и вознаграждается. [*] - Отличное использование заранее размещённых камер и звука — ты всегда сначала слышишь монстров, прежде чем увидеть их. [*] - Монстры сами по себе жуткие и неприятные, их не так много — 6-7 типов, но достаточно для игры такой длительности. [*] - Большинство головоломок логичны и не слишком бредовы. [*] - Главная героиня — милашка. Из минусов: [*] - Боевая система достаточно примитивна, не только в анимациях (это простительно), но и в стратегии: лучшая тактика — сначала вдарить дробовиком/станнером, затем добить монтировкой/гвоздемётом. Схема довольно быстро осваивается, и вскоре начинаешь чувствовать себя слишком комфортно. [*] - Хотя большинство головоломок я осилил сам, несколько пришлось гуглить — ключ с пришельцами, бесконечная комната и т.д. Не уверен, что справился бы без интернета. [*] - И, конечно же, последняя четверть игры проходит в канализации. Почему бы и нет? Почему бы не променять крутые интерьеры особняка и больницы на безликие грязные стены? К счастью, этот этап закончился чуть раньше, чем успел мне надоесть. [*] - Местный Немесис — абсолютно не представляет угрозы, и его полностью нейтрализует простой выход и повторный вход в комнату. Скажу честно, его механика ощущается недоработанной. Жду вторую часть!
