Luckily I'm extremely mature so I can watch this video
You are just a Beary Boy
Beary Boy I like trains
Just a tiny wittle Beary Boy
Don't call me boy ^^
absolute madlad!
>"We won't show genitals"
>Shows fruit with female genitals at the end.
I'm afraid to know what that would taste like... in Hell.
tastes like mama june after hot yoga...
Obviously, the soyboys who made this review don't know what a vulva look like.
I need vaginapples in my life LOL
TheHumanMechanism MK2 dude you’re such a white knight
Rated M for Moist
Trizzdebos s moist meter
Lmaoo

Eeeeewewwwwwwww!!!
Trizzdebos s damn haha
Rated M for Massive Waste of Money
The reviewer sounds legit angry lmao
Sounds like a crybaby
@Luis Martinez Damn you sure told him /s
10 years ago, this would have received an AO rating in a heartbeat
If I'm not mistaken it did but on console it's m and was censored heavily.
@@rjthegreatyt9139That’s right, the original was AO, and it had some real fucked up shit that was removed, even from the now uncensored version. iirc there were vids of the removed stuff and even those got got wiped from the internet.
Easiest way to get kids to watch your video? Put "VERY M RATED" in title.
Owlero they doesn’t make sense
Owlero Exactly.
Owlero take notes, learn something
Man GTA 666 looks cool
You have a point
I Know what I'm getting my 10 year old brother for his birthday

Not enough Heaven.

Nice stereotype of IGN.
aka True
Sike the game was trash
Weak
Agony tried to show what hell could look like and i think they did a really good job with graphics keeping in mind that very few people developped the game. The sounds are done well. The creatures are hellish, it's true but their movements are like a plastic dinosaur's. And sadly i have to agree with you in the other parts of the game. The developers should have worked at least a year longer with the game. Quality requires time and madminds studio forgot it.
Lmao you wasted $ on this garbage didnt you
Will Christoph i spent .49 cents on it just now 😂
@@willchristoph8389 No, I only watched a walkthrough.
Well ... I enjoyed it because it is difficult and it gives you a feeling of unpredictability ... But THE ATMOSPHERE IS INSANE TERRIFYING
An edgy walking/hide&seek simulator
J J Alien Isolation 2: Dante’s Inferno
Like Amnesia?
Likr Evolve?
Like every lazy walking simulators we got ever since Amnesia - The loud youtube screeching came out.
I really hate that everything dark is considered edgy these days. It’s like one of the biggest indicators of the dumbing down of society
this is what happens when a demo tries to be a game
Adil Ahmad isn’t that what demos are for?
**this is what happens when IGN rates video games**
It has a 38 on metacritic. safe to say nobody really likes it
My bad. 45* it just went up
Nobody really answered my question
IGN : The name speak for it self 4/10
Rick Sanchez just about to say it, people need to build an experience, not play toy.
Hey, so does yours! I mean, if Rick Sanchez were synonymous with autism, that is.
talk about speak. This is Why i follow IGN' S reviews. Thanks
Troll
Rickkkk, what are you doing here? we're supposed to go to another adventure!
Everything I seen from gameplay looked so dark. feel like could hardly seen anything
Who could have thought you would need a torch in hell XD
kylesplinter1 that’s the definition of hell
He did say he fell to the darkest place....lol
Its a bit better when you actually play, but it can still be really annoying at times.
Metal Muffin ni
I never agree with these guys,
BUT they were right this time around what a let down this game was
TyroneisWhite they gave 0 time for this review and they didn't mentioned the half game.
Played the demo and done!
Vivi Pestilenz Ha, you said they're going to hell on a video reviewing a horror game that takes place in hell.
what did you expect? Have you not learned the lesson already about the hype train and the miseading lure of pleasant graphics?
Hype? Yeah. This game has no kind of hype. It Does have some good Gore graphics. Speak about the game to anybody and they won't have a clue what it is.
TyroneisWhite if you never agree with them, then what's the point of getting "their" opinion on games?
Sounds like you just like wasting your time.
It's their first game, only 9 developers. I like their style, I hope it becomes a success so they can develop a better game next time
I'm over 18 but I'm immature. Should I watch this?
Winduct 😂
Winduct yes be our guest!
You obviously aren't over 18. That's a question a 5 year old would ask.
Damn. You caught me.
Winduct the mission has failed! Don't worry, we'll get em next time lol
*So I guess you can say playing this game is ... (Puts on sunglasses) ... agony*
Illuminat3d well played
Illuminat3d you earned this 😂
YYYEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
Illuminat3d I mean it would make more sense if you said agonizing but good pun I guess 7/10
LeanbackMac No, it makes perfect sense, I used 'agony' hyperbolically.
Maybe this game is best suited for VR
anajjar456 exactly
Exvalos It was an funded goal on Kickstarter. I also was wondering where is the promised VR mode. But we also got not funded goal like ,,Multiple Playable Characters'' as described on their KS page which(apart from posession mechanics) I think is the Succubus mode - they put that in while it didnt reached funding goal. Instead of focusing on polishing main game/story stuff they did that mode for nothing basically since both turned out to be garbage lmao.
why u wait the vr version,if u gonna go to hell when die
There's more than just walking sims. But imagine walking through that creepy hellscape. That would be a unique exp.
anajjar456 yes hiding in small crevasses staying still not making a sound so good in VR
This is the kind of game my mom would throw away if she knows what it's about.
Admit it - you're here because it's on sale now in PS Store at only $2.
Its definitely worth $2
4/10- “Too much agony”
Mats Ratz psychopaths are triggered cause they value cruelty
lmfao XD
Mats Ratz Well it ain't called agony for nothing js
Hell waking simulator
naveen venki so better than any playstation game, which are uninspired walking games
Walking*
Carbon suicide mtb you high?
naveen venki do you just go around all day saying that on these videos
Totally read that in Kratos' voice.
WWE wrestler Kane would love this game.
Lol
He would drag Lita into Agony with him after Snitsky kicks him down to hell because it wasn't his fault and Trish Stratus would be there too mocking Lita for sleeping around. Certainly would've been a fitting place for Kane and Lita's honeymoon.
Lmao
Have you seen him recently he's running for mayor!!
Wouldn't sting also love this game and the undertaker probs foley too
The game's title is exactly what I experience when playing it.
is it really that bad? I was really looking forward to play to this game since I saw the trailer. I am no teenager, but I was looking for a different kind of game more into the Lovecraftian/Danteskian kind of occultism and gore.
That means theyve done a perfect job.
For what the game is and what the original intention of the developer was, I think it’s great. Yes it has its flaws and little tweaks that need to made but all in all I loved it and I’m almost done with my second play through.
4.0/10 - *The reviewer got scared and pooped his pants.* - IGN
Playing in this game, you can die... Die from boredom
Steven Seagul lol
Walking game.
Steven Seagul i lold
No cause it's not scary
i really wanted this to be great :(((((((((((((((((
Scotty dd Play it, make your own opinion on it I've heard from other that it is great
Scotty dd It's IGN and one persons opinion. They gave out a poor review of Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire as well as Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition. Try the game yourself or watch someone play and judge for yourself
It is way better than I originally thought it would be and this reviewer is absolutely incorrect about the score. This game is easily at least 8/10.
why listen to a IGN reviewer? like review are kinda biased + oh yea IT'S IGN! watch COD's BR mode get a big ol score cuz.... [insert thing here]
same
Still better than fortnite
Moel Smegs anything is better than Fortnite
STW is actually good, BR is a cashgrab.
Agreed
cant even spell fortnite right lmao
he edited it cause he spelled fortnite wrong not that hard to understand here buddy keep up
So dark you sure you’re not from the dc universe ?
John Smith you are a great human being for this😂😂👏👏
I see you've watched Deadpool
Deadpool 2, eh? 😉
Lol Deadpool
This game was heavily censored, monitored, and ruined.
It's a mediocre experience with middling enthusiasm.
The true version exists somewhere and we deserved more.
VenturousArtist Well there is doom but that is the totally opposite of stealth and subtlety
All truth
Unrated version released on steam
@@natb8800 i have not seen it
Idk what's the purpose of censoring a game that's supposed to be hell to make it not hell lol
66 likes and 6 dislikes .... ok. I'M done.
Original comment, nobody cares.
Why? It missed the true number of the beast by 5 dislikes.
mozEXE Yet you cared enough to respond? 🤔
And ur comment has 69 likes
6 replies :O
Your IQ must be at least 300 to play this game. Hell has 2 much red... Not enough sunshine and rainbows. 4/10
Homer Simpson No unicorn! means bad game
Homer Simpson and the worst thing!
No
MOE'S
Homer Simpson but there’s purple
So, Doom, drowned in pretension, and no guns. Hmmm... I wonder why it's going to fail?
Anthony Rodemus Right, because games need to have guns if they are going to be good.
I didn't say that.
aazo5 The game is a failure
Anthony Rodemus Doom doesn’t try this hard to be “terrifying” and is generally a fun game, what with its groundbreaking and flawless controls and gameplay. This is essentially a walking simulator that tries so hard to be shocking, it’s hilarious.
Joey Clemenza Nothing wrong with a game trying to take itself seriously to the point of crazy. At least some people are actually attempting something different. Its just a horror puzzle game like outlast. No need for hate.
I hate to say this, but this game is a Ray Charles in Hell simulator. You can't see sheeeeeeeit. Default gamma is awful. PS: Ray Charles is awesome, and I don't think he'll be going to Hell anytime soon. It was a bad joke. I know.
This comment is so cold but funny
Maybe Ray Charles actually did sell his soul?
don't be so tough on yourself, bud.. i laughed
Well he is dead so for all we know it could actually be him we are playing.
Lmaooooooo
I'm near sighted af and this cracked me up
This seems like it could be an amazing game. I feel like with more time it could have been amazing
I don't trust anyone who gave Knack 2 just a 7.2
KNACK 2 BB IT'S A MASTA PIECE
KNACK IS BACK
YOU CAN PLAY AS ICE KNACK, ICE KNACK LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!!!!
If it came with call of duty dlc it would get a 10!
Ok the ign loving call of duty meme is just beyond stale at this point. Not one call of duty has ever gotten a 10 from ign.
Charlie Burnside If it was a Call of Duty zombies map I would give it a 10
mnb323 exactly lol. that’s one thing that gets me heated about CoD is how people drag it into every gaming conversation.
jmek08 people love it. just like Minecraft lol
Man, this game makes the world of dark souls look like an tropical resort 😂
What do you mean? Dark souls is gorgeous. Deadly and grim but peaceful and colorful at times.
Please don’t compare this steaming pile of dogshit to Dark Souls.
have you played it or are you just taking their opinion i don't trust ign reviews
I felt like dark souls 3 was very grey and dull compared to the awesome colors in the previous games.
Hansel Thepedo well techinicly i didn't, i just said "this game" 😂
this is like taking one cool dream part in a real game that lasts 10 minutes and stretching it for 12 hours
"to hell but not back" LOLOLOL
9.5/10, too much agony
Yeah, and here I was, thinking that this game was going to beat Outlast
Trafalgar Law don't always follow reviews
Make your own decision
Name checks out
TheDarkness 666, So you think I should give this a game a try?
Just listen to your yourself, not that of the masses
Trafalgar Law that’s really the best way to find out, others will say its good, others will say it’s bad, it’s a unique horror game, try it out
For once, I agree with IGN.
This game is just a poorly made gorefest with no purpose outside of making you go "wtf". That being said, it serves its purpose after less than an hour, that if you're only in for some cheap scares and gore, otherwise, if you're looking for a decent game you won't like this to begin with.
After less than⁉️
"Too much hell, 4/10"
I liked how little direction the game gave in regards to controls and stuff. It gave a sense of disorientation one would feel if he were REALLY caught in hell. Also, the vagueness of the story wasn’t a problem for me because of my Christian background. Since I could remember, I’ve always been taught the hell is a horrible place and to see it depicted in the game was a pretty scary thing.
I’m still going to get this game because its concept interests me. I like games meant for niche audiences. Also since IGN has already ruined their credibility a long time I’m just going to ask my friends how they felt about the game.
**still watches IGN reviews in hopes they acknowledge your feelings about a game**
NE H nah I watched it just too confirm some info about it. I could of watched another video that was maybe a bit more informative but this popped up so I wanted to give it a watch. I at least got a basic idea of the game from the video, so it wasn’t useless, but I’d rather hear an opinion from a friend.
NE H Wow, you really took that random guy on the internet down a peg (or at least you tried). Um... why exactly do you act this way?
got my upvotes, i call that a job well done
NE H So your motivation for your behavior is the approval of random people you will never meet and would laugh and jeer at you if you were attacked unprovoked? I don’t think you should seek the approval of the Mean Girls of this world. What did this guy ever do to you that caused you to want to hurt him? Did he insult you in some way? Are you a bully in real life too or just here? I mean, do your peers and family have to suffer through this behavior as well?
As a person who actually played the game I found it very enjoyable and worth the 30 dollar price tag. The game isnt nearly as dark as everyone says and I found np problem finding a ideal gamma level for it that covers most places. There are some bugs that can be laughed off for the story and some zones make the game all worth while. for the price its a good play 7/10
No it was awful only worth it if the price was 5 dollar
@@brent8407 found it on a deal for 1.99 on switch
@@JparsTheBot yeah im probably ganna try it cus its like a dollar on xbox lmao
@@JparsTheBot it’s 1.99 again right now lol
It's on sale for $1 and this game is so divisive that I'm going to try it out and give my two cents as well
lil nas x new music video was inspired by this game⛓
Agony: you running from hell
Doom: hell running from you
You guys are so close too 10,000,000 subscribers congratulations 🍾🎉🎈🎊
"VERY MATURE CONTENT UP
AHEAD"
9 year olds: *whatever*
this is a game that is a prime of example of not giving in to companies this game is actually incredibly toned down from the beautiful gore and intensity of fear the videos they provided prior to release
Rated 'N' for 'needs an update.'
This looks nothing like what Bill and Ted experienced.
Here's the thing, though. It's supposed to depict Hell, right? Would you actually expect your tour of Hell to be in any way enjoyable? I would hope not. But though you have it a poor score, this is the one time when a poor score is in fact a "positive" when the backdrop is the worst of all places, Hell itself. If you're actually enjoying it enough to give it high marks, the makers did something wrong. It's Agony. Your experience and subsequent score should reflect that reality.
Too much fire 0/10
Amir Ghiasi lmao
This game honestly wasn't so bad
It was hell
Seems like you’re better off playing Dante’s Inferno and staring at a razor blade every 10 minutes.
I was pretty pissed off when I first bought the game, it was unplayable, so I decided to put it away for a few months, give them time to patch it a few times.... So, I just started playing it, and I'm actually enjoying myself, enjoying myself more than I did with Vampyr anyway
😈
This is like the easiest game to write a review for.
Agony, it sure was.
Dissapointing review . This is Truly a unique Horror Game that if you look at how indie horror games are looked down upon for being not scary or boring monotonous concepts ..agony definitely stands out and brings a new era for creative innovative horror experiences. While I understand that yes the person reviewing the game is basing his opinion on the Gameplay experience and mechanical flow of player input... This game does not deserve this rating. Agony was made by no more than 20 guys .. Call it what you will but Gamers sometimes do not appreciate the effort and energy it takes to make a complete full working Game and release it. If this game should deserve a 4 out of 10 with a label "Bad" on it then it shouldnt be working or boring as HELL lol Get it?? Well my point is Developers who put everything they have into making a unique game gets tokd their game is Bad is going to hurt them.. and I think its not perfect yes but it is not definitely not Bad.
A 6 out of 10 in my opinion
Only r3tards work for IGN
Hope Scorn isn't going to be this bad
nicholas seymour i have bad news for you...
Miguel Carvalho Why? What happen
nicholas seymour im not gonna lie to you... Scorn looks really boring and slow, i wont get my hope highs to be honest, if Agony disappoints you so will Scorn. Sorry.
Miguel Carvalho I hope you are wrong
nicholas seymour so do i mate...so do i... i want good games too but... yeah we'll see.
4/10
-lacks racial diversity
-not enough female empowerment
Sounds more like polygon review
Doom Slayer would have a great time
✏️❤️
Doom slayer would get bored
@@Mr_ice51 how
@@caylya7869 because most of it just walk yeah there are enemies but they just feel boring to kill
I was so hyped for this game I bought it on release. It was nothing like I expected
Smh 😂
@@leafykhan smh my head
It deserves a 5 at least. It’s far from great, but still admirable from an indie developer.
This would have been a nice video game level in Doom or Bloodborne
Dylan Nguyen I don't think it would work in Bloodborne with its use of more traditional horror in the 1st half and lovecraftian horror (or cosmic horror) in the second half.
I haven't played doom so I have no clue if it would work
Uh I think DOOM was released before any CoD. So.. CoD is the clone. The newest DOOM is a bit like CoD but still not a clone as you can very well tell when you play that it feels more like the original DOOM, at least more than DOOM 3 did.. Lol
Dylan Nguyen no, not bloodborne, doom on the other hand, it would fit. Bloodborne is a gothic world not a hellish one
A edgy walking simulator in hell. That's basically trying to be a big UA-cam game for the kids. What?!
satan loves them kids
youtube is run be demons are you surprised?
Stop stealing comments
ChristianCountryBoy i Love Jesus Christ! A much broader idea than every multiplayer shooter clone right now lmaoo
"too much gentials and too much hell"
4.0
-IGN.
IGN, on behalf of everyone that knows you, STOP REVIEWING HORROR GAMES.
From the beginning this looked like a game teenage boys would play to make themselves feel all grown up. I always thought it looked lame.
openskies11 What's with the Gender-Specific bashing? You'd say that about a girl too, along the lines of, let's say "Alleged Gamer gurl that only poses with her consoles to make herself look cool and down to earth, FakeNerds", or wha? 😂
Just asking, for consistency's sake 😉
No, that's Call of Duty. You're just hating because you can't comprehend it. Go play Fortnite.
I've actually been looking forward to playing this game for a long time and recently acquired it through Humble bundle!
4/10 "Too much red......"
M rated? My life is extremely m rated, this is... nothing
I applaud the reviewer's restraint in using "aggrivating" instead of the easy "agonizing" to describe the mechanics at 0:27. Nothing about this game seems appealing.
1st you didn't mention the "take control of an enemy mechanic"...
2nd nether the multiple endings you can get.
3rd nether the powers-skills you can unlock.
And ok it is lacking in game mechanics.
And you gave 0 time to this review just played the demo for 1 minute in pc and boom! Content...
AND you needed 6 min to review minecraft... 6 minutes! 6...
This game looks boring af
DXTb0nEXD tell me 5 horror games that have "action"
For help I will give you 3: bioshock,Dead space,resident evil.
nikos papako But compared to horror games that do have action, this game doesn’t hold a candle. The only appealing part of Agony is its lovecraftian horror and deep level of detail. it’s extremely lacking in mechanics and is very repetitive
Ur missing the best one, Evil Within 1
Dragonite6358 that is what the creators of this game wanted to do...
They wanted to make you feel like you are in hell, and tell me how many things you imagine you can do in hell?
In slenderman you just walk and search for pages,generators,books,newspapers... but the people accepted it the way it is. Why can't they do the same with this game...
Turned it off after 10 minutes. It’s like playing a bad PS2 game
This is why the PSVR update will be nice since the atmosphere is the main appeal of the game for most.
Zachary T wait is that a legit thing?
That’s a nice feature for sure, but just watching trailers alone sends shivers down my spine so there’s no way in hell I’d play this in VR 😅
Oh god I hope not they’ll never meet the 60fps requirement the game barely runs at 20fps consistently lol not to mention the game is downright broken and unfinished on console having mass reports of corrupted saves and crashing. They should fix the game first.
Zachary T atmospher was not the selling point of this game and vr will not save it
This game was made through kickstarter and Vr was one of the goals they reached and will eventually have a patch to make it for oculus and psvr
the most horrifying thing about this review was that 4.0 rating in the end. m-rated indeed
M-rated basically means: we know kids are gonna play this, but we still put it there anyways. Legal reasons.
Extremely M-rated means: NO, seriously dude, don't let your kids play this game.
Is this a good game to play if you are depressed and suicidal?
You won't be depressed and suicidal after...
@@popcornfilms1 True
2 games for that would be darksouls3 and hellblade senuas sacrifice
just get laid, and don't over think.
Yes play it
Man they should collab with Fortnite that'll boost the score by 4 more points at least
Chun Chun or drop it 4 more points :3
Somebody You May Know that's actually more likely to become a reality lmao
"tHeY sHoUlD'vE hAd A bAtTlE rOyAl MoDe!!"
I honestly went into this game not knowing anything about it and I actually enjoyed it
What how
@@callum6224 honestly don’t remember. lol
It wasn’t great but it’s okay
If this is a toned down version of agony, jesus I can't even imagine what its first version had. A lot of people forget or don't even know that the game was slapped with an AO rating originally.
Would have been more interesting had the game played off of the line at the beginning, "where light causes pain and darkness brings solace." The game should have been mostly about navigating without using light in some fashion. Maybe through sound as I remember was experimented with a while back. Then when there is light, the utter horror around you is revealed but so sparingly that it plays with your mind kinda like the older horror films that let you imagine your fears. I'm only putting like a minute of thought into the how, but I'm sure it could have been done in some fashion.
How disappointing.
I've been looking forward to this since like 2016.
Hopefully Death Stranding and Spidey will make it ok
death stranding will also be getting a rating of 4/10 because its also a horror game that focus on norman redus and the babys he swallows.
Dont trust IGN. Go look at actual gameplay and other more reliable reviewers and then make a decision
Andy Escriba oh but I have and this just seems to confirm everything else I've heard.
IGN are shills, I am aware
Spidey is 100% going to be up for GOTY so dont even worry about that
Don't worry, Doom Guy is gonna save us
Dylan Nguyen yeah LOL
It seems like a pretty good idea for a game, its unforunate that they didn't deliver the game it should have been
This whole review was basically IGN complaining about a video game that doesn't cottle you the whole way through for once.
People whine when the game babysits you too much but when it doesn't babysit you they complain there are no tutorials
Sounds like this game put you through a lot of "Agony" 😎
If this were Call of Duty: Agony, it would’ve been rated in the 8’s
Ok,but I didn't understand anything about the actual gameplay!What kind of review is this?!
edgarector he literally said it was a boring maze of hiding a walking around for hours on end.
It’s a fps horror game in the vein of Amnesia and Outlast you navigate maze like areas solve puzzles hide from stuff etc. it has some cool ideas thrown in like dying and possessing other characters but it feels exactly like it sounds half baked and tossed in to see if it sticks and it happened to ship in the final game.
Kb0w Thank you!Your 3 sentence synopsis is better than this,so called,review!
edgarector all he did was type what was said in the review. You just didnt listen.
Imagine how cool the game would have been if the protagonist committed the 7 deadly sins and he has to go through the 7 stages with intricate puzzles like silent hill puzzles and each level would be based off of a sin and not just bones and mutilation.
IGN: I don't want gameplay, I want a walking simulator.
*i said it before and i say it again: this is how doom should have looked*
in doom you need to be fast and be able to tell where you're going
You can't even see where your going.
Doom should have looked more grotesque but not like this
GabeHouseCovers only things Doom needed was more demons to shoot and more guns to shoot them with.
Romeo I guarantee I've played every doom game countless more times than you along with 100s of mods and map packs you've never even heard of
This is actually a good review. Pretty rare from ign.
I did not think this game was too bad but then again I did not expect much. I am enjoying this game but will admit it could be a lot better.
+ Insane atmosphere
+ Nice details
- Repetitive gameplay

- Too much blood
Im not surprised that it ended up being this way.
Any game that has an amazing or mysterious like gameplay trailer is bound to end up being a flop.
