About
The story centers on Detective David Tapp who awakens in a decrepit, abandoned asylum. He has been captured by his longtime nemesis, Jigsaw. Obsessed with catching this serial killer, Tapp’s mission has consumed him and ruined his family, resulting in divorce, mental imbalance, and abandonment. Worse yet, this frantic hunt destroyed Tapp’s career while he watched his long-time friend and partner get killed by one of Jigsaw's traps. Now Jigsaw has the upper hand and has captured the detective. Tapp must play a deadly game—the likes of which he has been investigating for years—to escape, and in order to do so he must survive the lethal traps and puzzles that Jigsaw has put in place for him and others. But each victim has a dark connection to Tapp. Will Tapp save them? Can he survive his obsession to find the Jigsaw killer?
Reviews
The game is based on the Saw movie franchise, and while it has an interesting story, that was pretty much the only aspect I genuinely enjoyed. The gameplay wasn't particularly fun for me, and considering how old the game is, you shouldn't expect much from its graphics either.
One of the most interesting things that might convince you to give this game a try is its puzzles. They're not exactly amazing, but they're still enjoyable and add something interesting to the experience.
Overall, I'd say it's worth playing at least once, but this game is definitely not for everyone. It's a very subjective experience, and whether you enjoy it or not will largely depend on your personal preferences.
