Nobody told me these games existed?!?! (Tormented Souls)
Huge junkie for the old fixed camera horror genre. A week ago I saw Tormented Souls 1 on sale. Clicked on it and bought it up instantly after reading the reviews and realizing it was just that. Figured it couldn’t be too impressive and wouldn’t feel anywhere near on par with classic RE or SH. I delayed buying the second one then was absolutely blown away by the quality of the first game. Sale passed, but I picked up the deluxe edition for TS2 the moment I got all achievements for the first. Didn’t expect it to be any better than the first game which already seemed pretty perfect, but an hour in I was even more blown away by the quality of the second installment. 2 runs in and still can’t believe how good the second game is, it’s probably in my top 3 for the entire fixed camera horror genre. Seriously, how have I missed out on this series for almost 5 years??? Everything from story to gameplay to puzzles is 10/10 for me. Dual Effect has shown this genre isn’t dead and can thrive. I’ve heard they have a staff of only a few handfuls of people as well, don’t know if that’s still accurate, but if that’s true they’ve really crafted a masterpiece here. Already missing that fresh feeling of playing a great game for the first time. Hope a few years down the road we get a new one!
