Agony UNRATED

Game has mixed reviews and I totally get why but I personally think this game is still well worth playing even if for just one playthrough. It is a very unique experience, it can be a bit clunky and confusing at times but visually it is absolutely striking and very unique. I just found it a very fun world to get lost in, explore and look around in.
One thing I love about games compared to other mediums is the unique experiences they offer and this is one of them. I came in wanting a game where I could just walk around and explore hell and that's exactly what I got.
That being said I am someone that can just turn a blind eye to clunkiness and awkward design. So if you find that hard to ignore you might not have a good time.
It also has quite an interesting story with multiple endings. The story can get a bit too convoluted at times but was interesting none the less.
I've so far done one playthrough, enjoyed it and had a very unique experience and do plan to do more playthroughs for the other endings in the future. So despite it being a bit of a mixed bag, I do recommend it.

Not bad for a walking simulator that takes place completely in Hell. Game is pretty frustrating in terms of where to go and what to do but if you're bored and just wanna relax it's a perfect getaway. That is if you're a complete gore hound and find torture relaxing like I do. For everyone else I'd say skip it. Only get this if you like plodding through blood and shit while seeing demons fucking and having abortions. I personally love it. But not everyone might. Decent graphics, good sound...that's about it. Thumbs up if you're a sicko.

An interesting game to say the least... Blood, guts and overt sexual themes. Basically a FPS puzzle game with X rated content. Does not hold back its punches.
Pro's:
* Great atmosphere.
* Good music.
* Can be graphically beautiful at times.
* Enjoyable story if somewhat forgettable characters.
Con's:
*Can be boring at times.
*Repetitive puzzles.
An enjoyable x rated style game but no masterpiece.

there is a NECESSARY launch crash fix you need the code is on the reddit. but a very captivating and weird game! keeps me on edge of my seat

This game looks gross. Reminds me of that Nintendo Mario game where we have to traverse the innards of what ever pre 2005.

Built on Unreal Engine 4 (fucking awesome for third party dev second best to Rage Engine by Rockstar)

I love the blood-themed well everything. There is a part of me that would absolutely find pleasure and disdain of disheartening some console pleb by way of hand action otherwise known as human or succubus. I love the the feeling of both gameplay types. succubus or old-male human.

It's studios like this that must remain to exist for the simple fact that imagination has no limits.

The first game in my "I really don't want to go to Hell" collection.
Agony Unrated is not for everyone. The game being entirely unapologetic, players will be exposed to many expressions of violent, indiscriminate evil and nudity. Players may be turned off by it. Gameplay is many parts: walking sim, exploration, collect-a-thon, basic level puzzles, and horror. Dying is a feature often used for progression. There are multiple endings to unlock, dependent on what you discover and actions you do. Thankfully, there is a chapter selector that offers convenient level hopping and item hunting. There are additional game modes offered as well.

Agony stumbles a bit in pursuit of it's ambitions, leaving certain moments feeling unpolished. Occasional jank such as stuttering scene transitions, and object collisions (getting stuck) is present. Agony offers striking visuals of fleshy horror, hauntingly beautiful in its highest moments (Cathedral), and messy, indistinguishable fleshy clutter in its lowest. Very much a mixed bag, however, Madmind Studios has created a impressive and gory interpretation of Hell that I haven't seen other studios attempt. It has allow my imagination to wander. There are very few games with this type of shock content and I wouldn't say 'no' to more.
Check out their other titles. Best bought during a sale.

Overall feeling and who to recommend. If you liked dante's inferno and/or the game of it, constant screams of agony, david cronenburg, and a game that does not care about the concept of trigger warnings of any kind. The guys that made this put a lot of love into the environment, the sound design, and art direction and level design. I think the controls are appropriately clunky for making you feel like you're clawing your way through hell, but tight enough to be comfortable to speed run the game if you wanted to, once you know where all the traps and creatures spawns are.
In addition, i'd like to point out where this is a game about trying to survive in hell as just some schmuck. it's supposed to be hard and you're playing as people that have been living and festering and crawling around in the urine, feces and amalgamations of everyone and everything for eternity. you're not a badass. For this reason i would disregard any reviews that complain about difficulty. Once you get your skills leveled up it starts getting way easier. Also, for immersion, keep the gamma low, for the sake of your controller if you're prone to throwing it, turn it up a little.
I really wish the devs had like another year to polish some of the collisions and platforming. You WILL get caught on nothing. You WILL miss platforms and edges you swear you can land on. Besides some particularly annoying edge cases that have a short unskippable cutscenes, they're easy enough to get unstuck and there are enough checkpoints throughout the game that it wasn't entirely miserable, unless you're trying to get all the achievements, then it will suuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Also, I got this game because there is a video showing you can fuck things to death as a succubus and thought that sounded awesome. This does not happen in this game at all as a playable mechanic in the succubus mode. you do rip out lots of hearts and it looks cool, but I expected much more sex in my hellbound succubus simulator
