12 Weirdest Video Game Enemies (And What They Represent)

The Suffering sure is a bleak game, and that’s in no small part thanks to the awful designs of the enemies housed within. The second Suffering, Ties That Bind, was also bloody brilliant and full to the brim with odd enemies that offer a lot of explanation when given a dissection.

The Gorgers, with their horrible bloating, might at first appear to just be an incarnation of greed, but there’s a much deeper backstory to it than that. As we’re in lovely lovely Baltimore and the game leans heavily on horrors that transpired around the time of The Great Depression, the Gorger isn’t about greed, but starvation and desperation.

Digging into the game's lore you can read about the lack of food that was available to people at the time of the American crisis, and the story of parents telling their children that the reason they had nothing to eat was because a creature called The Gorger had come to steal it.

Lo and behold, it appears in The Suffering as an all-consuming monster.
