Critic Reviews for Tormented Souls 2
Despite some nostalgic quirks that perhaps should have remained in the past, Tormented Souls 2 is an atmospheric callback to the iconic adventures that made contemporary horror gaming what it is.
Like its predecessor, Tormented Souls 2 still struggles with storytelling and character elements that just don't quite hit the mark. While it doesn't go as deep as I would like, above all else, it still serves its grandest purpose with all the passion you could ask for.
A beautifully crafted survival horror game that knowingly harkens back to the original Resident Evil, while adding in some sympathetically designed modern touches.
Tormented Souls II is the sequel the first game deserved. Dual Effect listened to criticism, polished what was lacking, and amplified what worked. The result is a survival horror game that respects the classic 90s style without feeling anachronistic, offers a real challenge without becoming constantly frustrating (well, almost), and looks spectacular on PC.

While remaining a continuation of the classic survival horror genre, Tormented Souls 2 manages to refine its deep and sincere homage to the great survival horror classics. At times, it wouldn't have hurt to see more of its own creation, but what it does offer is tasteful and high-quality enough to establish itself as a game capable of winning over even the most nostalgic fans.

Another old-school survival horror game, for better or worse. If you love fixed camera angles, pre-rendered backgrounds, limited saves, and constant tension, you can safely add half a point to the final rating. Technically, it's a step up from the previous installment, with excellent, detailed locations, atmospheric and crystal-clear sound, and responsive controls. Animations and poly-models aren't top-notch, but you can't have everything.

Tormented Souls 2 is a worthy successor to the original game, offering an improved experience for players. The sequel has significantly enhanced user-friendliness with its well-designed puzzles and intuitive hints. While the combat system and balance mechanics still present some challenges, players have the option to adjust the difficulty settings or wait for upcoming patches.

One question that might arise with this sequel is whether it's necessary to have played the first installment to enjoy this new title, and the answer is no. While some things might be easier to understand, this new adventure tells a story on its own, although if you're keen, I also recommend trying the first game. You won't be disappointed.
