You are able to look around at almost any time (there are only a handful of cut scenes, as most of the story unfolds real time). There are jump moments and creepy thrills here that will affect most gamers on a physiological level, and tons more to chew on psychologically.įurthermore, The Suffering proves that games can be made with thick atmosphere, creepy events and tons of gore without having to cinematically focus your attention on each and every detail. It does effectively what all story-based games seek to do-to suspend your disbelief and transport you into the realm of the game. In short, The Suffering is a great game, not just a great horror game. But those premature thoughts are far from being true of the final product. When The Suffering was announced, those of little faith were already preparing headlines that equated the name of the game with the experience of playing it.
The moment he arrives in the prison, as the tagline says, "All hell breaks loose." Torque must fight to stay alive in a pitch black penitentiary crawling with grotesqueries, the whole time exploring the events that led to his incarceration.
Touted as an action horror game, The Suffering is the story of Torque, a man sentenced to death for slaughtering his family. That's exactly what you're charged with doing in The Suffering, a brand new title from Surreal Software and Midway Games. As if prison weren't bad enough, with hazing in the yard, shanking on the row and brutality in the shower room, imagine having to put down a horde of monsters from the bowels of hell in your spare time.
