I love RE1 but I've long felt its weakness is its over-reliance on puzzles and backtracking. I had the shadow effects on "low" and they were still probably the best I've ever seen. You're not able to fight enemies in darkness and you have to put away your weapon to use your lighter so this creates some really tense moments. Its main unique feature is a focus on lighting.
This game genuinely scared me countless times, which is really impressive. The levels in the game look amazing as well, easily outshining its low pricetag, though you can see it in the human character models that look cel-shaded and out of place. The soundtrack is phenomenal, often mirroring Silent Hill's creepier music in tense sections, while mirroring Resident Evil's delicious save room music in calmer parts. The atmosphere is excellent from start to finish. Its main twists are a bit predictable, while the specifics of the story are a bit convoluted (I needed someone to draw me a family tree) but the story carries you through the game effortlessly. The story and setting will surely grab any Silent Hill fan. The bosses are the bigger letdown, with only 2 bosses, and the final boss being pretty bad. There's a lack of enemy variety, particularly in the first half of the game but the combat serves its purpose. There are 3 guns and a melee weapon, with the combat heavily echoing those games of days past. Like RE1, TS is one giant mansion/hospital so there's a ton of puzzles and backtracking for keys and puzzles. More specifically, I think if you're a fan of RE1 and its remake, then you'll adore this game.
The gameplay is mostly Resident Evil, while the setting, atmosphere, and story are very Silent Hill. And that’s pretty much it! Like many indie games, this is a clear attempt to revive a dead genre. Do you think fixed camera angles, convoluted puzzles, and limited saves are the devil and that RE sucked before RE4? Then don’t buy this game. The gameplay is mostly Resident Do you love old-school Resident Evil and Silent Hill and wish someone would make more? Then buy Tormented Souls.
