It is not as scary as The Dark Descent, but I really like the setting and overall story.

It's about BLOODY time I write a review for this game.
Disclaimer: Yes, I'm a massive Amnesia fan so this may play a bit on my review.

Here's the basics : It's an horror FPS, following Amnesia TDD but with a whole different story. Gameplay-wise, it's very similar altough this time you have no inventory.

Next I'll talk about ambiance, monsters, story etc, but keep in mind we all have our preferences, so what works for someone may not work for someone else.
In my case it did work perfectly. The ambiance is very dark, creepy and in some cases borderline claustrophobic. Being surrounded by all those machinery and noises while you know there's something lurking for you in the darkness is quite an experience.

Speaking about the monsters I'd say it's 50/50. You will get that adrenaline rush but at some point you'll realize you can easily outrun them which makes the horror factor go down a bit.

What I said before regarding preferences will apply here too : The story. Personally, it had me hooked until the end. It has links with TDD. Unfortunately, I can't go into details since I don't want to spoil.

Lastly (cause I don't wanna make a 200 sentences review), I really don't get why this game was hated by a portion of the fans. I think it suffers too much comparison with it's predecessor TDD, but keep in mind it's NOT TDD. TDD is and will forever be the GOAT of Amnesia games, but this one is also well worth it.

Add to that the fact that you can now find it for super cheap, which makes it an unmissable classic to have IMO.

Or you can go try "Amnesia Rebirth" but trust me, this one is a thousand times better!

It is a really frustrating experience, loved the story so far, shared the same aspects and quality with the Dark Descent, however, the rest of it is a mess, not bad at all, since it tries to be more like a walking simulator (and a good one) but coming from something like the Dark Descent, it feels bad, most of the mechanics are gone, so, it gives you the feeling that's more like a demo or something else outside of what Amnesia is. Not a bad game at all, but badly directed, the story was my main reason to recommend it (even better if you like walking simulators)

Was debating if I were going to give this a negative review, but decided against it. Gameplay is what drags down the game

Has been said before a lot of times. But this is pretty much a walking simulator, no need to be cautions, just run from point A to B with minimal reprecautions. The game doesn't want you to get lost, there is pretty much no dead end paths that might get you offtrack.

The resource managment of the previous game is removed, there is no need of thought about being resourceful. You can have your lantern lit the entire game with little to no reprecautions. And if you somehow manage to aggro a monster and die, you a reset just before the monster encounter and gets to try again. There is not a sense of loss that might deter you from dying.

The enemies aren't any threatining, and are not agressive enough. The only scary thing about them is that they can be loud. The game shows off the monster too much in non threatinig scenarios. If comparing to Amnesia the Dark Decent, you had a sanity meter that got lowered by being in the dark, that would make Daniel (the character you play as) insane by either being in the dark or looking at the monster in that game. Which had the effect that you would try to look away from the monster, and fear of the unknown is a powerful thing in a horror setting.

The atmosphere is mostly good. For the disapointing gameplay and enemies, atmosphere is the thing that keeps you on edge in the beginning of the game. It becomes rather dull, once you realize that there really isn't a threat to you as a player.

The story is one of the highlights of the game. It's clear that most of the focus was put on it, and it shows in quality compares to the other elements. It is not the geatest story ever in games. But it is ok to good. However the choice of making so many pig jargon can and was for me very distracting.

Sounds are mostly good, and goes well with early good atmosphere. I did not found anything negative about the sounds in the game.

Music is mostly the same as Sounds.

Voice acting is mosly ok as well, but is often over the top and doesn't always fit in what happening with was is happening on the screen.
