Another solid offering from Chinese Room
This game is very, very good. Let's start with what the game is. It's a walking simulator with a few relatively simple, but interesting, puzzles thrown in. It is also a very darkly atmospheric game that in several places literally gave me chills, and even had a few solid jump scares. It is an excellent steampunkish Gothic setting that pulls you in and feels very realistic. It's a fairly long exploration with lots of different and interesting environments (including a spooky church that should be out of place but isn't). For your money, you will get a decent amount of playing time. Graphics are excellent and controls are better than most walking simulators I've played. What it is NOT: fast-paced, though there are some heart-pounding moments. It doesn't end at the right place--the endgame stretches a bit too long, and the textures are overused during that time. This is because the environment in that area is far larger than it should be (and in some cases unnecessarily complex). However, the ending is quite good, and well worth waiting for. The game is not difficult. Sometimes the graphics and effects are a bit annoying--shaking sometimes, and smears in areas that make the already very dark environments hard to see. I am a big fan of the Chinese Room's earlier offering _Dear Esther_, which to me is a near perfect walking simulator. _Amnesia_ is a worthy successor and fixes some of the issues with DE, including controls, length, and the addition of the aforementioned puzzles. Buy it, play it, and enjoy it--including the nightmares you might suffer after playing it!
