Talk about overkill. Discover the horror that is Baltimore. A horror/crime game set in Baltimore isn’t such a strange idea, right? Unfortunately, about halfway through The Suffering: Ties that Bind, it switches from being a moderately interesting, creepy and weird game to being a seriously bad mindless action game.

Once the gunfire becomes more intense, the gameplay becomes more mundane, frustrating, and unsatisfying. Its ultimate failure as a game isn’t for lack of effort. Developer Surreal Software tries and tries and tries some more to build an edgy and scary version of Baltimore. While the first Suffering was an underrated gem, its claustrophobic prison setting gave it a stronger focus.

Ties That Bind picks up where its predecessor ended, starting in the same prison but then heading out to the contrived and linear streets of a Baltimore that has a minor problem with demons hanging out in various downtown locations. Despite its setting, Surreal is never able to establish much of a sense of place. It’s more like “Generic Dock Area #12” and “Sewer #197” than an interesting tour of a decrepit city with a dark past. As in the original game, you control a character named Torque, and you’re having another really bad day. When you’re not being shivved in prison, you’re constantly having terrible flashbacks to how you abandoned your family and how they were killed by crime kingpin Caleb Blackmore. As you explore various locations in the city, you experience flashbacks to its sordid history, full of serial killers and white racists (scenes of bygone lynchings are the order of the day). The game is overly linear and scripted, with monsters constantly respawning to let you know you need to do something else to trigger the next scene or open a new location.

You can play in either first or third person, but neither is ideal. The heavy combat sequences are better played in first person, but almost every time you do some sort of non-combat activity (climb, manipulate objects in the environment), you’re abruptly shifted back to third person. You’re limited to two weapons at all times, which seems like a cop-out but forces you to make interesting decisions about which tools of death you’ll need. As before, Torque can transform himself into a physical manifestation of his rage; a monstrous killing machine. Had the game played more with this mechanic – it’s more of a cheap power-up than something that actually matters – and stuck with its initial creepy Silent Hill-like vibe instead of veering into generic military action, it might have been more noteworthy.

The visual artistry that sustains the atmosphere is a bit hit-and-miss. Screenshots do not do the ambient effects in this game justice. Blooming ethereal lights, clever filter effects, and superior sound work all combine to create a convincing home for the supernatural. The crazy denizens of Carnate Isle—pierced and stitched atrocities each representing a particular style of execution—are decidedly gruesome, albeit in a predictable Hellraiser sort of way.

But the enemies lack any sense of weight. They simply flit or glide about in a mechanical fashion, and even the bigger foes are a little less imposing because of it. The gameplay is standard shooter fare, with a smattering of simple puzzles thrown in to color the experience. In many ways, this game is very much like Undying, save that the pacing is more consistent throughout and ammunition for the game’s many firearms is quite easily found. The Suffering is not really a game of suspense; rather, it’s a game of tactical tension, where the surprise lies not in anticipating the assaults but in surviving them.

This guy doesn’t seem friendly. This approach is taken to the extreme during the game’s few boss battles, where the key is to solve a puzzle while under fire rather then unload your entire arsenal in return. Unfortunately, this design becomes problematic when faced with the game’s biggest shortcoming: a distinct lack of enemy variety. But if there’s a compelling reason to pay a visit to Carnate Isle, it’s simply to revenge yourself for all of the horror titles where your player avatar was at the mercy of the bad guys.
