TOSS (Demo)

I had the chance to play TOSS before its official release, and I have to say, it’s a very addictive game and quite different from anything Solitary Studios has made before.

When I first played it, I struggled to understand how to reach the goal. But after replaying it multiple times off-stream, I started to figure things out and realized there’s actually a method to it, which made the experience more rewarding.

There are still some minor issues that could use improvement:

• The payoff from one of the side missions feels underwhelming

• There are moments where the trash objects collide awkwardly with each other

• The game lacks scares and a strong eerie atmosphere

• The story didn’t hook me as much compared to previous titles

• Subtitles overlap on the main menu (a small issue, but noticeable)

• The endings are decent, but could be more impactful (hopefully improved in the full version)

• Compared to the Silent Still 3 demo, which had voice overs, this feels like a downgrade, adding voice acting here would really elevate the experience

On the positive side:

• The visuals and overall atmosphere are, as always, impressive

• Player controls feel much smoother compared to previous Solitary Studios games

• The options menu is more refined and user-friendly

• The coin toss mechanics are fun and well-executed

• One particular jumpscare genuinely caught me off guard

Overall, TOSS is a solid game. I wouldn’t call it great just yet, but it has strong replayability and a lot of potential.

I'll give this game a 6.9 out of 10 coins. Since this is still a demo, there’s plenty of room for polish and improvement in the full release. Keep up the good work!
