Critic Reviews
GameSkinny
By Curtis DillonWhile beautiful and intriguing, the shortness and control issues make Toren feel like wasted potential
Gaming Nexus
By Chapel CollinsBecause it's such a small game, there isn't all that much to it; it's not a game with something for everyone. Still, even if you're interested, remember that the game is only two hours long, even though it's a very focused two hours, some people may feel they have overpaid for the amount of content they are given.
PushStartPlay
By John LittleIf the mechanics were tighter and there was a bit more actual gameplay, then I would give this a more general recommendation, but as it is, only buy if you can tolerate lacking gameplay for story and setting.
Geeks Under Grace
By Chris ThieblotToren is a short but satisfying video game that plays like a movie. Imagine the emotion and style of Ico, mixed with the presentation and progression of Journey, and you get a good idea of what Toren feels like.
PC Gamer
By Andy ChalkToren is a good story that suffers in the telling, with simplistic platforming that's hampered by a sloppy camera and controls.
