Call of Duty like Garbage

What a disaster. This game features all the idiotic "call of duty cinematic" forced camera angles and non stop story line interruptions without any logical sense to horror or good story or character development that made the original game amazing. Expect constant interruptions with irrelevant attempts to "carry on a narrative" towards a meaningless plot and story line. The graphics themselves attempt to herald an experience while actually portraying an environment that had little effort put into worthwhile exploration. Pure disaster of a game and an embarrassment that should not be worthy of carrying the title Amnesia. I'm glad I only wasted $4 on this abomination of a walking simulator which should actually be described as a "console rail shooter without guns". You want a good game go play Amnesia The Dark Descent.

Highs and lows

Firstly, I couldn't get the game to run in Win7. Turns out I needed to download a dll file from elsewhere. Then the game ran perfectly. Frictional could easily have included that as an install option for Win7. I got it running in the end. As to the game ... I love Penumbra, Amnesia TDD, and SOMA. Each expands on the one before in some way. I expected another progression, perhaps unfairly. Rebirth is more like a greatest hits. The familiarity is unsurprising, but sometimes you miss the wow factor. The biggest problems I had with Rebirth were partly the unevenness - one minute I'd be slightly bored by cave levels; then I'd emerge into a sunset desert and forgive everything. One minute I was confused by the story, the next I'd explore a ruined fort and feel like I was in TDD. So the settings are varied, some better than others. The best are great; the more average ones can't be as interesting as rooms in a castle, or an underground bunker, or a deep sea installation. The second problem was exposition. At many points in the game it felt like every few steps I was having the game halted for a memory, or a document, or a voiced interlude, to the point that I was having immersion broken. Because most are voiced, it really slows things down, in a way I don't remember feeling in the other games. I'm not sure what they could do about that, but it is mildly frustrating at times, which isn't a good mood for horror. Still, the best bits satisfied me, and the game included a few scenes and ideas I hadn't encountered before, even if others annoyed slightly (oh, just remembered - you can only carry 10 matches. Why? It feels like an artificial restriction.)

Great with a questionable choice or two

Despite it's quirks at the end, this is a really good horror game. It is a very linear experience that will last you 8-10 hours, keeping you on edge just about the entire time. And while it doesn't try to play with you sigh an insanity system, it uses a different kind of insanity to much higher tension then anything before. If you loved both Amnesia: The Dark Descent and SOMA, you are absolutely gonna love this too. If you are a fan of genuinely tense and scary games, this one will not disappoint you provided you can put up with a slow burn start and maybe a different kind of fucked up at the end for a short time (that seems to be forever). Everyone else, if you want to try horror, this is far from a bad point to start.

Couldn't get into it.

A game like this lives and dies by its ability to immerse the player and pique his interest. Unfortunately Rebirth failed to do either. It halts you in your tracks every few paces either with a note that may or may not be read by a voice actor that cannot be listened to while moving, or a cutscene (mostly just some flashing images). The game chooses the worst ways to tell its story, as if nobody at Frictional noticed it isn't 2010 any more and never evolved. As for the story itself, I didn't get far enough into the game to see what it was about. Maybe it turns out great, but the game didn't give me a reason to care enough to find out. Maybe a less immersive, less interesting version of Dark Descent is what you're looking for. For me it's a disappointment and a refund.

Good narrative game, simple as that

I don't remember the first thing about TDD; judging by many other reviews, I probably enjoyed Rebirth more because of that. I do remember What Remains of Edith Finch, which seems an outlandish reference when discussing the second Amnesia, but it did make me accept mothers talking to their unborn children as a narrative device. Some frequent complaints seem to matter less if you approach this as a narrative game about motherhood, loss, responsibility, seen through a survival horror lens. I'm not sure if these topics are still particularly fresh in 2020- this won't challenge your view of reality like SOMA did, but not every game has to. Not all criticisms go away by assigning the game a different genre. A:R wants you to uncover about four different pasts at the same time, and while I liked the varied ways in which all that content is delivered (the pencil drawings in particular), there are definitely moments when you're like, shut up and let me play. Also, while the fact that you can't die can be explained from the narrative, I would have liked the monster encounters to be a little more relevant at times (not counting the monsters that know you by name). I liked the visuals - there's a lot of imaginative locations waiting beyond the desert overworld - and I was amazed that it ran fluently on my 2013 PC, though no doubt it looks even better on modern systems. Different from other reviews, I also liked the light mechanics. No groping around in total darkness like in Outlast (1 at least), but a pale purplish light that leaves Tasi time to move before she goes cataleptic. If you take the time to look around, there's really no shortage of matches, mounted lights and lantern oil. On the whole, I feel it's best to judge this game on its own merits. It's not TDD, it's not SOMA, it's not a groundbreaking masterpiece- it's a good narrative game, with a lot of story to uncover, with some scary and some emotional moments. Perfect for a dark autumn weekend, simple as that.
