This game is worth it for the DLC Justine alone!
A short game that condenses all of the Amnesia experience in one level (about half an hour if you don't die - theres no saving or respawning) and an amazing amount of depth can be had from reading/listening to the material left lying around.
Easily the scariest game I have ever played. This game does everything perfect. The truth is, this game is horror in it's best and purest form. The pacing is flawless, everything is great. The best part for me, however, is the way the game chose to introduce the dangers you face in the castle. Instead of simply playing a loud noise and having the enemy jump at you, the game slowly introduces music, and the enemy slowly begins to hunt you. By not using a jump scare tactic, the game allows it's atmosphere to stay intact, keeping you on edge, and making sure you don't get angry instead of scared. The game's story isn't all that great, but it's quite interesting and serves it's purpose very well. One of the few bad things to say about this game is the following: Some of the puzzles are fairly unrealistic. Now, for the most part it wouldn't matter, but at one point in the game you have to balance some sand bags and put them at the correct height to make the pressure of some water do what you need. Doing this is highly unrealistic, and took me out of the game's world more than it should've. It happens a few times, as well.
This is definitely one of the creepiest games I have played, it excels on atmosphere. Monsters in the dark are a lot scarier when you don't have a shotgun or laser rifle. What do you do? Run like a little girl into a closet and hope the monstrosity breathing down your neck doesn't bash the door down and kill you dead. Some of the intensity wears off towards the end, but any fan or horror games should definitely try this game out.
I consider myself a pretty manly dude, never phased by much. Particularly not any poor excuses for "horror" games or films, and I've played/watched many.
I can admit without feeling like too much of a pansy, that Amnesia did legitimately creep me out, and is the only game to date to have done so. They did an excellent job of immersion, in which you really feel and adopt your character's fear and helplessness.
75% off on launch is quite generous, so if like me you've never been "scared" by a game, give it a try. (Lights off, alone, and headphones is how I played it. Nothing's going to be scary in a busy room full of sunlight and family/friends
