Agony is a dark fantasy survival horror first person video game developed by Madmind Studio and published by PlayWay. Originally it was focused to developed for adults only due to its extremely graphical nature, Later for the sake of larger audience they lower some violence & sexual content to allowed it to be rated by PEGI and later on to release an "Adults Only" patch on PC, but the plan was dropped due to "legal issues".

You start your journey in Agony as a tormented soul trapped in the depths of Hell without any clue about their past yet controls one of the Martyrs which was condemned to Hell. The game starts getting challenging as the player approach the Red Goddess, one of the creators of Hell, in an effort to escape and return to the land of the living. Unlike other Martyrs, the player possesses the unique ability to possess both other Martyrs and, later in the game, lesser and higher demons, giving them access to special abilities. Using mechanics such as crouching and holding their breath, the player can avoid demons. Besides hiding, the player needs to solve puzzles in order to unlock new areas. There are available hidden statues that the player can collect, as well as paintings which are possible to discover.

Now as of May 29, 2018 they are no confirm news about that, Is Madmind going to release the adult patch?, which was regarded as a "brutal, sexually explicit , violent and extremely tortures patch" though, but one thing is confirmed that the developers of Agony are not gonna take any "beef" with the censorship board which pretty much sums up everything, about any hopes of getting our hands on that 18+ patch.

Meanwhile my approach towards agony is a little bit different even tough we may not have that "extra Agonize" patch but still, the question is, Do we even have any other game around at this moment which can beat agony in its typical brutal graphical approach?...hmm maybe nah, why because what I feel by looking at the game play that we currently have is enough to scare the shit out of lot of people and I am surely one of them just look at their horns, tails, makeup....that Goddess everything looks equally lit and scary af. I am sure that their are people out there who could have not been influenced by this game in any horrific way but for a moment you can sit back and realize that depth this so called PEGI version is offering, Those bodies, blood splashing, gradients of color, screams, jigsaw type-weaponry and paranormal music is just roaring to us to believe that this is the most creepiest probably disgusting and yet because of it's smooth commands and functions to control your soul and to kill all the dammed out there and to find ways through beautiful dungeons while crafting Magic and weapons, and all that breath taking illusion and battle out looks that it offers just making this game day by day as addictive as it could be.

Conclusion: Game-play, mechanics are good and precise but the violence is kinda over.
