by Surreal Software, Midway Games
Genres:Shooter
Themes:Action, Fantasy, Horror, Survival
Game modes:Single player
Story:The Suffering: Ties That Bind follows in the footsteps of its predecessor by combining a disturbing horror atmosphere with action/shooter gameplay. Players can switch between third person and first person depending on their preference, and will shoot a lot of hideous demonic manifestations of evil before the game is done. The player is also able to transform into a hideous creature at key times in the game, which allows him to engage in intense melee combat. The game includes a morality system which records the player's actions during gameplay and changes the story accordingly, and also alters the player's creature form. Everything from the first The Suffering has been refined and turned up a notch for the sequel.Show more

Before The Suffering: Ties That Bind gotten delisted here. An friend let me give this game a try. I previously played The Suffering on PS2 years ago. I knew about the sequel for a long time. I felt parts of it was slightly better than the original. There's a very notable difficulty spikes. A decent horror game with an interesting story. Imagine a more shooter based Silent Hill game. It's not often I play games taking place in my home state. I felt despite the chaos Midway Games going through around it's release. This game turned out as good as it did being a rather huge surprise. You play as Torque that covers more of his past. You can tell they focus more on the shooting than the melee. You still could do melee to a degree. It won't work on some enemies though. I also felt this game is a bit underrated. Not to mention people didn't know about it to the degree they knew about the original. You can only imagine their reactions to finding out there's an sequel. A rather decent sequel that improves several things. Also expect to die a lot in this game. The creature designs are absolutely amazing. I do think there's a chance it could sell somewhat decent on here. More guarantee to be a notable success if Nightdive Studios remastered it.
Look this game holds a special place in my heart and I want to play it again. I hate that we have to somewhat beg for it and I won't but this game is a gem and deserves a comeback. My Step-Dad and I used to play this when it first came out he was gripped by its story which in turn made me love it. I would love to play this with my kids and show them this beautiful game.

I don't know what the hell was David Zaslav, David Haddad and the entire WB people were thinking of delisting this game. You don't need to delist this! This is Midway product that you purchase and bankrupt. You just publish them! Give the IP to THQ Nordic or someone to publish it. Because delisting this old-gem is a bad investment!
