About Condemned: Criminal Origins

About this game

What twists the mind of an ordinary human into a serial killer?

Assigned to the Serial Crimes Unit, Agent Ethan Thomas must answer this question, and bring the worst of society to justice. His solve rate is the best in the bureau....perhaps too good.

While investigating the growing list of serial killers, Agent Thomas concludes that something is twisting the bodies and souls of those that society has left behind. The homeless, addicted and deranged are rising from the city’s underbelly and committing mindless acts of violence. Could there be an unseen connection between the increasing brutality of the latest serial killings and the increasing crime rate? This question is pushed to the forefront after Agent Thomas is framed for the murder of two police officers. Now he must solve the murders to stop the killings, and exonerate himself from the crimes of which he is accused.

As FBI agent Ethan Thomas, you rely on sharp instincts and sophisticated forensic tools to investigate crime scenes, collect evidence, and find clues that will lead you to the killers. With danger lurking in every shadow, you need whatever weapons you can find to stay alive. If you run out of bullets, you’ll have to fight with a fire axe, shovel, pipe, two-by-four, or whatever you can pry from the environment around you. You’ll need to make sure nothing stops you as you try to uncover exactly who...or what is behind the grisly killings plaguing the city.

Outdated and lacking in some ways but atmosphere and unique combat makes up most of its best beats.

Holds up for its age

The game's got a great atmosphere. Graphics might be a little outdated for today's standard but its tone, setting, and atmosphere kinda make it timeless in a way. Combat is pretty impressive for how unique it is and it fits well with the game. Enemies try to fake a swing at you to mess your timing which is pretty cool. But some things like the story and characters are pretty lacking in their department but other than that, it's a pretty great horror adventure game.

Great and immersive survival-horror experience. One of the most stand out horror games ever made.
