Game8 84/100 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Tormented Souls 2 is the perfect survival horror return to classic form—unflinching, tense, and unapologetically old-school. It captures what made early horror games great with its resource management, oppressive atmosphere, and puzzles that make your brain ache in the best way possible. It’s not flawless but it’s a rare case where its imperfections feel like part of the charm."

Way Too Many Games 8/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Tormented Souls 2 doesn’t strive to do anything new because it doesn’t need to. It takes the original game and improves on it in just about every way possible. Whilst there are some frustrating moments, it’s a game that channels the best of classic survival horror. Complete with the dynamic cameras that can terrify one moment and disorient you the next, fantastic level design and unapologetically tough puzzles. If you love classic survival horror, you will absolutely love this game as well."
