Easily has the most dialogue and clear motivations among protagonists out of the trilogy and its to the game's benefit. The first two games generally involved plucky young girls trapped in unforeseen circumstances. Just walk out! You can leave! If it sucks, hit da bricks!

But The Tormented focuses on something human and commonplace: grief and how we cope with it. It gives the entire franchise's characters some focus to resolve their pain, while still telling a great original horror tragedy. This all-encompassing grief truly haunts the heroes, metaphorically and literally, and its much harder to escape. And it becomes much more relatable horror as a result. How do you fight GRIEF?

It just works! I don't think its as scary or tragic as 2 or as foundational as 1, but its one of the most rounded of the franchise. This trilogy should be celebrated.
