While the game is good at giving you plenty of monster-shooting action, it also really could have used either some more tactics for monsters or more varied types of monsters. The Suffering is more about action than about snooping around in search of keys. Shooting up monsters is the order of the day. The game is pretty good at giving you a lot of targets to shoot at, and as a result, you'll usually have more than enough ammo to deal with any situation, though the higher difficulty settings do toughen things up a bit. The hangmen will simply descend from the ceiling and attempt to choke the life out of you, while the burrowers you'll encounter later on will pop up out of the ground and attempt to whip you with chains.
Some will hang back and try to pelt you with projectile attacks, while others will attempt to get up close and personal. Each creature has its own moves and abilities. The game is pretty focused on combat against various creatures. Torque's monster form is an interesting addition, but it's usually easier to just pick off enemies from a distance with one of your many firearms, thus making the monster form generally feel like more of an afterthought than a necessity. If you let it drain all the way, Torque won't survive. You'll also learn early on that Torque has the ability to transform himself into a big monster when you fill up his "insanity meter." The monster does pretty serious damage to most foes, but you'll have to watch the meter closely and change back manually before it empties. Additionally, you'll get a flashlight that you can clip to the front of your shirt, which comes in handy because much of The Suffering is superdark. You'll also acquire bottles of pills, which act as healing items that can be used at any time. Along the way, he'll also pick up other weapons, including a pistol, a tommy gun, a shotgun, flares, flashbangs, and so on.
Shortly after getting out, Torque picks up a large shiv that he can use to battle the monsters. This leaves Torque free to explore so that, hopefully, he can escape the prison island and reach safety. After a brief intro, a bunch of creepy monsters attack the prison, slaying many of the guards and inmates alike. Torque has been convicted of murdering his wife and two sons, but he doesn't actually remember anything concerning their murders. The game opens with Torque being led to his new cell on death row at Abbott State Penitentiary, an island-based prison where the baddest of the bad go to die. In The Suffering, you'll play as a thick-sideburned tough guy named Torque.
