Firstborn perversions and morbid game design get boring quickly and the player is left only with his own pain caused by the bad game. So at least there lives Agony up to its name. [Issue#287]

If you like horror, the macabre or the notion of taking a personal voyage through Dante’s Inferno with a touch of Gigeresque visuals… this may be up your alley (or down your abyssal chasm).

Agony is a game of insane contrasts, both fascinating and embarrassing. Therefore I still don’t know whether its developers are geniuses or amateurs and although I believe it deserves a relatively high score, I actually cannot recommend it unconditionally. [08/2018, p.84]

Agony es un ejemplo casi de manual de cómo un mal diseño puede disfrazarse de provocación. No hay sistema, no hay ritmo, no hay mecánicas que sostengan la experiencia: hay ensayo y error torpe, controles imprecisos y una estructura que confunde castigo con profundidad. Jugarlo no es incómodo en el buen sentido; es simplemente frustrante y pobremente construido. Lo más problemático no es solo lo mal que se juega, sino desde dónde cree hablar. Su imaginario no articula horror ni reflexión: se apoya en una violencia grotesca y reiterativa hacia los cuerpos femeninos que no cumple ninguna función narrativa ni simbólica. No hay crítica, no hay metáfora, no hay discurso. Es shock vacío.

This Game is Not as bad, as everyone makesIT imo.
Yeah it's Not perfect, but AGONY has a great atmosphere, good graphics and fun gameplay.
The way they created the Hell is great. it's creepy, disgusting and interesting .

At the end of the day, though, Agony exists with too much dissonance to be a completely enjoyable game. For as much as I liked the visual and audio designs, and they really are pretty great, the actual gameplay is just too frustrating and dull too much of the time. I think there’s a place for games that place style over substance, but Agony doesn’t quite stick the landing.

Very good game. I dont understand this bad scores. This game is not a horror and not a survival. It is a very atmospheric and beautyfull adventure. Amazing design and interesting gameplay. (sorry for my english)

It is dark, gritty, scary, explicit and daring. But it also is buggy, unbalanced, sometimes outright unfair and technically not as sound as it good have been.

A truly inspired and horrific depiction of Hell, attempting to prop up a mechanically nonexistent survival/horror early prototype for a game. Even the toughest of pentacle carving black metal fans will have a hard time pretending that they actually enjoyed and ‘got’ Agony.

While its bold and detailed environments depict Hell in the most nightmarish ways possible, even the fantastically obscene sights and creepy sounds become mundane and dull by the end of its series of repetitious mazes, unimaginative item hunts, and weak stealth gameplay.

As its name suggests, playing this at times is painful, void of fun, and a chore that could've been avoided had a lot more care been put into it.

If Hell does exist, then it's surely the one depicted in Agony, because one can get used to pain and suffering, but these can't compete with utter and complete boredom. Madmind Studios' rushed, controversial cash-grab, is nothing more than one of the contenders for the worst release of 2018, and one of the worst survival horror games ever, full stop.

Very good game. First of all its not a horror and not very stealth. It is an action story with the unique atmosphere and some stealth-elements. But this atmosphere is perfect! Is is a real creepy hell without cloying stereotypes about horned demons and beauty succubes. This game is a trip to crazy Gehenna with a lot of mythology. 10/10

Agony ... for the player. The game-play, surroundings and graphics are terrible. The only two things that were good here were the idea of creating a game in the style of Dante's hell with erotic and cruelty(But the project's realization was terrible) and "Unrated" version of the game that made visual component a little bit comfortable for players, and only for that two things I will give 4 points in rating... Even nude succubus didn't help this game))
SummaryAgony is a first-person, survival horror set in hell. You will begin your journey as a tormented soul within the depths of hell without any memories about your past. The special ability to control people on your path, and possess demons, gives you the measures to survive.
