One of the 2020 GOTY

Great middle ground between Amnesia TDD's horror simulation and SOMA's philosophical oriented gameplay. Yes, it;s not as spooky as Amnesia TDD but it is more spooky than SOMA. It hits a great middle ground in terms of puzzles for me (I found Amnesia TDD to have way too many puzzles stopping game progress at every little step when all I wanted was to go forward). I also don't understand the criticism that says immersion is ruined when the character speaks (why, because it's a female voice?). You are wearing the skin of a very particular character and Frictional Games made 100% sure you will feel like that character. Nothing wrong with that. I also feel this game has done some many things for the first time in a videogame that it's likely to be a cult hit but I can't talk more about those details to avoid spoling the surprise.

it's pretty good

i really enjoyed my time with it. the plot, pacing and lore (especially because it's tied in with the dark descent) are great. people online are talking about 'jumpscares' but that's really not a thing. it's a mechanic (that has since been toned down) that flashes the screen when your sanity is low, or during 'death' scenes. It happened to me so rarely that it's really not bad at all. the only thing that did bother me though, is the at times ridiculous and annoying overreliance on enemies. be they chase sequences (not as bad) or stealth sections, they were quite detrimental to the gradual errosion of my immersion / suspension of disbelief: when you 'die' to an enemy and have to retry a section in *any* horror game, all the tension is gone because now you've seen the enemy, and it's not about not knowing what's going on and being scared (which this game pulls of quite well before you die) anymore. Instead, it's now about beating ai with shitty passive stealth that makes you hide and stare holes into the air while you wait for it to pass, only to then be one pixel off it's fov and fail anyways. Every subsequent failure to be in the right place at the right time pulls you further out of the game and just ends in frustration. Frictional seem to know that this style of stealth in horror games is outdated and sucks, Since they introduced an no-enemy mode to soma after a while but for some reason didn't bring it back for rebirth. Instead, in 9/10 times when you die to an enemy you respawn but the enemy is gone. This isn't the greatest solution because it ended in me just yeeting myself into enemies so i can die and explore in peace. BUT There is some times where the enemy doesn't dissapear because the game wants you to do *one very specific thing* to progress, so you are deadlocked in some parts of the game until you deal with the enemy. all in all i still enjoyed it greatly though and if they add a no-enemy mode like in soma it's gonna be a 5/5 for me.

The Rebirth Of The Dark Descent

As a huge fan of Fictional Games & their previous titles (The Dark Descent being my intoduction to the horror genre) so it's sufficed to say I had alot of expectation going into the sequel Amnesia Rebirth. How did it hold up? Its abit of an odd game to say the least! Lets go over some good things to start: What it does well is setting up great game enviroments with gorgeous lighting & amazing sound design that will help you immerse yourself into the game world & story. There are some puzzels in this game and most of them are simple to figure out and they help variate the gameplay abit. The story itself is great while losing abit of momentum around half-way point into the game, it's not bad but it works, plus the dialog makes you want to continue on just to see what happens next. Okay what about the bad? My main problems with the game can be summarized in two sections: - The Threat: Item management in this game works just like in TDD with light sources to help you see through the darkness and preventing you from losing your sanity, the problem is that most of the resources you have ( Lamp Oil & Matchsticks) run out so quickly to the point you where you rather rush through areas to minimize the light sources you have than trying to immerse yourself into the game. Also there is no game over in this, if you get spotted and knockout you respawn nearby the area with the threat not longer existing. - Immersion breaker: While I think the story is great in this game there are alot of scripted seqences in this that either takes away the control from you to play out a sceen or to simply show you an event that happen. Comparing it to TDD were you where always in full control this can turn off alot of people expecting something more like TDD. So overall I think that Amnesia Rebirth is a great experince but it doesnt reach the same level of horror that Amnesia The Dark Decent was. For what it is though it works as a sequel with some drawbacks to it. Play it at your own risk

Amazing experience as expected

If Soma was a perfect experience, this one feels lacking in the storytelling. There's so much exposition dialogue from the main character talking to herself that it feels like the writer wasn't sure the story was clear enough on its own. Apart from that, Amnesia: Rebirth is a masterfully crafted and innovative experience. I really hope Frictional Games can keep making games like this.

Good Story - Strong Soma Influences

I feel like Frictional may have set expectations in the wrong vein by calling this game Amnesia. While there are ties to the Amnesia universe, the narrative driven game play and sci-fi horror settings will disappoint some fans of The Dark Descent. Amnesia: Rebirth uses the main character's flashbacks and comments to herself, ("What was that thing?!") to garner sympathy and help the player connect with her. This was very effective for me, and immersed me in the bleak, discouraging story unfolding in front of me. I do feel like the game could have leaned deeper into mechanics like managing Tasi's fear. I expected to need to be more careful about how much time I spent in the darkness. I appreciated when I entered a sunlit room and locked that Tasi said, "I feel safer here". But I also thought that would come into play, needing to find a safe room to calm Tasi down, but it didn't. While not as memorable or grand in story scope as Soma, I really enjoyed Amnesia: Rebirth and look forward to whatever Frictional works on next!
