Tormentum II

I wouldn't recommend this game on the basis alone, that it's not as good as the original Tormentum. It somehow manages to be worse in every single aspect. The story is more convoluted, vague and confusing at times and boring due to over-explaining and exposition at other. The change of settings is jarring and comes with it's own immersion breaking problems. There are too many pointless characters, that all talk to much, which is especial noticeable on subsequent runs, where you spam LMB for minutes to get through the scene or straight up ignore some NPCs. That also includes the protagonist and calling him an unlikable ♥♥♥♥ in the game, doesn't fix him being an unlikable ♥♥♥♥. The game-play is overly interactive, which just seems to be there to pad the game-time for no apparent reason. Why do you need to zoom in on every single item or the hand of an character holding said item, before you can retrieve it? Your choices don't only seem to matter less, but every choice that is not connected to a "companion" is completely pointless and it is baffling, that the endings depend on who you bring along with you alone. The art feels forced here too, I get that the art-style is supposed to be edgy, but every second screen seems to have some skeleton, skull or straight up tiddies fused into the environment, which quickly loses it shock value and becomes mundane instead. Also, the wall-tiddies aren't even that good, which is a shame, because all actual female characters have apparently scarified their tiddies, so that the walls can have some instead. The map is a neat addition I guess, at least until the game makes you stop using it... It's been a good ten years, so I really had to check if the original was actually that good first and the original still holds up! While Tormentum 2 is just not good when it's not compared to the original either.

this (together with tormentum1 which i played mobile) is by far the most beautiful point&click i have ever seen in my life (every single detail, every item, every clothing, every entity, not to mention the stunning worlds & metaworlds) [b]tormentum 1 & 2[/b] are also basically the only games (besides [b]scorn[/b] & [b]necrophosis[/b]) that master this artstyle - nothing comparable else out there (seek for urself - there r a few more but they dont match that perfection like the above mentioned) this part2 now takes initial place in a 'real' (future) world, with strange, visionary dreams.. i very looking forward to this work of love (the german text translation is very good)

[h1]More interesting reviews on [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33843777//] Fenol Baron Approves Curator Page[/url] [/h1] We’ve been waiting for this, and the moment has finally arrived. The long-awaited sequel to that stunningly beautiful, dark adventure is out; it’s significantly expanded and offers more flexibility in certain areas. The game’s opening is a bit sluggish,which doesn't really help the atmosphere,but once things get going, it’s impossible to tear yourself away. The plot is much clearer than in the first game; while this allows for a deeper emotional connection, it also sacrifices some of that mystical ambiguity,that eerie sense of mystery that defined the original. The puzzles are excellent, none of them feel silly, they can all be solved through your own intuition, and they fit organically into the game's universe; it’s a real joy. The visuals and sound design are top-notch. Multiple endings, determined by subtle choices made throughout the game, offer great replayability. I really appreciated the game design: locations open up gradually, so you aren't left wandering aimlessly in the dark, you generally always know what your objective is. Overall, I’m very pleased, it’s a high-quality adventure crafted by just two people, and it was well worth the wait. Now, if only we could get a new game about the princess...

Absolutely phenomenal follow-up to Tormentum Dark Sorrow, easiest purchase of my life.

Very interesting game with some good story and interesting characters and background. Some puzzles seems easy but others can hard. Some places to interact can be hard to see but pressing space button helps. Gameplay of the game: https://youtu.be/tDSTeliJy9M

This game's predecessor, "Tormentum - Dark Sorrow" stayed with me since I first saw it back in 2015, in a strange way I can't quite explain. I added the sequel to my wishlist in 2021, when it still said "Coming Soon" and there had been no news for a long long while, in the vain hope that I would one day get to play it... imagine my delight and surprise when I noticed about a month ago it had a release date! And now here we are! Since release yesterday, I have played Tormentum II all the way through multiple times, making all the choices I could find (and collected all the achievements in the process, like the completionist gremlin that I am haha). It's more than worthy as a successor to the first game – bigger, more elaborate, just as gorgeously designed and with some really cool moments throughout. The characters are a collection of oddballs, often grotesque and rarely talking in anything but riddles, which I thoroughly enjoy. I was entertained by the puzzles, and while I got stuck (and a bit frustrated) several times, it wasn't enough to stop me in the end. The soundtrack also bears mentioning (especially the song we get to hear on the record player, which as a native German speaker I was very pleasantly startled by), very moody and atmospheric!

I have been excitedly waiting for this game since playing the first Tormentum! When I saw it had a release date (later that day!) I was very excited and quickly purchased it! I am a few hours in and I am enthralled by the art direction and story. The gameplay is very smooth and the puzzles are interesting. Very excited to see where the game goes and I highly recommend it to people who enjoy Point and Clicks and Dark Fantasy games!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cilCLskSZE8 Tormentum II - мрачный жуткий квест. Сюжет очень интересный, присутствует постоянная интрига - что же будет дальше? Много персонажей, с каждым из которых интересно пообщаться. Стилистика Гигера и Бекзински выдержана прекрасно - в игре отличная, очень качественная рисовка и анимации. А вот со звуком беда - музыка в игре лицензирована, поэтому играть нужно без музыки (зачем использовать лицензированную музыку???) и звуков в игре довольно мало. Управление удобное - мышкой. Игру очень рекомендую, мне нравится!
