Tormented Souls Reviews
Tormented Souls is a love letter to the earlier years of the horror genre. The fixed camera angles, heavy reliance on puzzle solving, and claustrophobic mansion-style environments all combine to form a package heavily reminiscent of the titles spanning the fifth and sixth console generations.
Giving a nice nod to the nostalgia of survival horror classics, Tormented Souls brings together the best elements of all of them and brings to the new generation a must-have experience for all fans of the genre, whether those looking for nostalgia or not. An extremely positive surprise and I hope that in the future it becomes a great franchise.

Tormented Souls is a love letter and throwback to the old school survival horror games, warts and all, even including the age-old tank controls found in the games it looks to emulate. Honestly, it does a good job in this, setting the atmosphere, ramping up the stakes and only rarely venturing into the absurd when it comes to puzzle logic. While not completely innocent, with some nonsense puzzles, and a questionable art style for the protagonist, there's enough on offer to keep you going and it makes it more than worth the reasonable price of the game.
Tormented Souls takes classic survival horror tropes and makes them its own with a unique spin that longtime fans of the genre will adore.
Tormented Souls pays homage to old school gems like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, without adding something new to the formula. If you are a nostalgic of the nineties golden era, you are gonna appreciate it.

Good ideas, good inspirations, solid audiovisual setting, but nothing more. In all other respects, Tormented Souls simply does not deliver. Which is a pity.

Tormented Souls is more than a love letter of yesteryear, it’s also one of my favourite games this year.
Tormented Souls is a magnificent return to the classic days of 90’s survival horror, bringing in tense atmospheric environments that successfully replicate the good old days of the genre, especially with its excellent usage dynamic camera. The puzzles are great as well. This is one little gem tailor made for us old-school fans of the genre, who were craving for something more akin to the horror we grew up with back in the day.
A nice classic Survival Horror with a few well implemented ideas.

Tormented Souls tries to capture the magic of the good, old Resident Evil titles. The game delivers a genuine scary atmosphere and decent storytelling, sometimes overwhelmed by poor graphics and some technical issues.

Tormented Souls isn’t going to break the mold or elevate the aged survival horror formula, but if you get around its rough spots, it will transport you back to the golden age of the genre before action and hand-holding took the place of terror and helplessness.
Tormented Souls is a very well made classic survival horror with nice inspiration from Resident Evil 1,2,3 and first Silent Hill games. If you miss these Classic Survival Horrors, Tormented Souls is a very good choice to play and enjoy. Be ready to Fear!

To conclude, this game is a near perfect example of a classic horror game. With fixed camera angles, spine chilling enemies and puzzle solving for days you’ll feel like a kid hiding behind a pillow and blanket. With nostalgic music to help keep the pacing of the story I doubt you’ll put this game down until you finish it. I’m giving Tormented Souls a 9.5 out of 10 for being a thrilling reminder of — hold on, my life’s soundtrack just told me that an enemies nearby. Let me just close the door. Closes and opens door OKAY, EVERY THINGS GOOD! IT LEFT!
A very classic survival horror, tailor-made for the most nostalgic gamers, with a creepy and well-made atmosphere, but a far too clunky gameplay.

Tormented Souls is a fantastic proposal despite the humble means and has managed to bring back all the essence of the horror games of the 90s.

Just two long evenings are enough to go back to the times when the genre triumphed at its best. The same unique gameplay elements have been preserved when trying to create your own universe that puts the atmosphere above the script.

We made an effort to like Tormented Souls. We even recognize that it could be the beginning of a franchise with a future. But baby steps. Many baby steps. Perhaps the "religious fans" of Suspense and Horror games can appreciate this one, but it has several points to be improved to bring other types of players to like this initiative.

There's no doubt that any fan of classic survival horror titles needs to pick up Tormented Souls. The game is full of Easter eggs to classic horror series and provides a look at what could have been for the likes of Resident Evil and Silent Hill. The visuals are detailed and beautiful with excellent light rendering and reflections, while the soundtrack is on par with these older titles. The gameplay is heavy almost to a fault, but offers different options to maneuver around the hospital.
