The adventure is set in the dingy Abbott State Penitentiary, an Alcatraz-style maximum security facility located on the isolated Carnate Island. Instead, this title offers a fast and fluent control system that could've been made for the mouse and keyboard, and heaps of violent, gun-toting action, yet still manages to preserve strong horror elements. No more clunky controls, obtuse puzzles, two bullets to last you the whole game and, the worst offender of all, fixed camera views designed to hide half of the action. You see, unlike the aforementioned titles, The Suffering does away with everything that works against you.
