True Fear excels at elevating the point-and-click genre through genius design layouts and storytelling. While the gameplay and plot will keep players interested, some pacing issues and lack of horror elements weaken the title. The issues are not enough to outshine True Fear's excellent features, however, as the title creates a memorable experience. True Fear: Forsaken Souls – Part 1 is a must-play for any fans of the genre.

The thing is, point & click adventure is, as a category, much more competitive than hidden object game. It’s great that True Fear: Forsaken Souls – Part 1 tries to be something more than a generic hidden object game, but based on the evidence, they probably shouldn’t have even tried.
70
Overall, True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 1 is a solid addition to the hidden object genre with a horror twist to it, so if you enjoy the genre already, you are likely going to enjoy this game as well (and vice versa, of course...). If you're just a horror fan though, you may find the constant stream of puzzles to be annoying as the puzzles definitely out-weigh the story here, so just make sure you know what you're getting into (this isn't Silent Hill or Resident Evil after all!).

Aa its core, it's Point-and-click adventure set in a spooky/horror setting. The puzzles are good, intuitive and satisfying with adjustable levels of difficulty. The music is okay, and there's a fair amount of recorded spoken dialog that is also pretty good. I didn't think I'd like the game at first, but I have to admit, I was **** in by the challenging and rewarding puzzles and spent 4 hours in the game and am still only half way through.

while the game itself is actually a good game and i'm looking forward to the next game, it is basically unplatinumable because of a time requirement on a certain puzzle . with this in mind coupled with the fact that they wont actually let you replay the game on the same profile in order to obtain missed trophies or just to replay a chapter for fun i cannot in good conscience give this game a positive score. hopefully digitl lounge puts a bit more effort into making the game consumer friendly in their next installment,

2/10 I can't stand click-and-click games, it shouldn't be on Ps4, a weak, worn-out story, and a dragged-down game, with slow controls, and I don't even know why I played more than five minutes.
SummaryWhat if everything you knew about your life, everything your family ever told you, turned out to be a lie? A strange midnight visitor could change your life forever... Find out the truth about your past in True Fear: Forsaken Souls, a chillingly exciting Hidden Object Puzzle game!
