Good looking, casual, unpolished
Tormentum is a game where the visuals are king. And it is very good looking. So good looking in fact that it trades animation for static imagery. The style is grotesque for the sake of being grotesque but the same thing can be said of the inspirations quoted. Which do show rather plainly. The game itself is very casual adventuring. The kind of casual where most problems aren't solved with an item in the _same_ room. And the NPCs spell out the situations and solutions in excrutiating detail. Which gets me to the writing. The writing is, shall we say, unpolished. The very first scene has a character dumping loads of exposition on you. This sets the theme for the whole game. And since we are playing a silent protagonist you are always being talked at. A lot. One does wonder however how much of this is due to the translation since the game obviously wasn't originally in English. The story tries to evoke moral ambiguity but is actually operating strictly black and white. This only becomes evident in the ending. Which is rather divisive. In short, OK effort with over-emphasis on graphics. Which is modern AAA gaming in a nutshell :-)
