Tormentum II

A really good new point-and-click game with so much highly detailed artwork, and not one that's impossible to figure out by any means. I enjoyed it the whole way through so far, and while the devs might be paying homage to their inspirations, they're also bringing the style to new audiences for the first time! So that's cool.

I loved the first Tormentum game very much and throughout the years replayed it several times. But I don't know what to make of this second installment. To me it feels more like a visual novel than a P&C adventure game. But the story is incoherent and most of the time I don't understand the narrative style. The art looks great but there is too much HR giger for the sake of having HR Giger inspired art. It clashes with the rest of the art style that does look good. I feel myself losing interest in continuing to the end and I don't see myself replaying it.

Beautiful as ever, finally smooth performance-wise. The sci-fi twist lifts the story well past the original. Easy puzzles, no pixel hunting - you come for the atmosphere and nothing gets in the way.

It's somewhat short and the puzzles are very easy. The game overall was considerably easier than Tormentum 1. For such a dark setting and premise, the inner monologue is written rather naively and David is just a self-insert. Despite this, the game was fun, though I played it more for the art. I want to support the authors so I bought it full-price, but realistically, I'd have found €9.99 fair.

Tormentum 2 is a deep psychological story in an incredibly macabre setting that really gets under your skin. Well-presented, well-written, and featuring impactful choice & consequence.

As a huge fan of the first Tormentum, I hurried home from work to play this on the release day, after having played the demo earlier this month. And man, did it deliver! Like its predecessor, Tormentum 2 is a ridiculously gorgeous point and click game, that has macabre beauty and atsmophere dripping down the walls, which fits the story and themes perfectly. Tormentum 2 feels bigger than the first one - both in its universe and its story - in a way that makes sense and ties in nicely with the first game. Like with the first game, your choices are weighed and measured - in Tormentum 2, this is also the case, but impacts the game in a slightly different but still similar way than in the first game. Tormentum 2 is a visually beautiful narrative adventure experience, it doesn't rely on too many puzzles - it is truly the artwork, story and overall atmosphere that makes it great. Like with the first one, I can see myself coming back to it often to experience its beauty and story.

This spectacular point-and-click adventure explores what it means not only to create, but to be a creator. Grotesque and nightmarish, its world draws heavily from the surrealist art of greats such as H.R. Giger and Zdzisław Beksiński. After more than eleven years since the release of its predecessor, Tormentum II proves to be well worth the wait.

Great so far, the vibe is just right, art is stunning. It could use some voice acting, I think that would add to it, but amazing even without it.

Loved the first part and Tormentum II follows right in its footsteps. Pure atmosphere and amazing sound, super intuitive gameplay and a big feature for me: you can play it with one hand, if you like. So grab you laptop, chill on the couch on a cozy summer night and explore the dark vision that the creators prepared for us. Really missed Point-and-Click adventures but having one with a dream-like, dark-fantasy style: OhYeesStudio!
