Amnesia: The Dark Descent

⠀

This game is great if you let it scare you! It was definitely designed to build anticipation and fear of the unknown throughout its many levels. For those who want a less terrifying play-through, not fearing death, insanity, or the game's intent greatly helps and can allow logically-minded individuals a rather enjoyable experience solving its puzzles.

For anyone who is looking for a truly unsettling, nerve-wracking experience. This is that game. A really spooky atmosphere, sanity effects that will determine if you're in danger . . . or not. This game is the best horror game ever.

Because of the high gradings I just had to buy this game and see if it was a "real" horror game compared to all the other ones, like many reviews said. I've been playing the game for 2-3 hours now but I'm not that impressed as I should be. Feels like there is something that is missing. I was playing Layers of Fear about a year ago and it was totally horrifying. I was not scared at all while playing Amnesia. The environments looks all the same and it feels like it's a lot of copy paste assets everywhere with empty boxes and drawers. I mean, it was the same thing with Layers of Fear, but everything was unexpected with that one. However, it feels like a good game, but I have not really been scared yet. I will probably give it some more hours tomorrow. And yes - I had it pitch black with very good sound at a loud volume level.

I love scary games, but even slender man its more scary than this. Its incredible slow which it make this a instantly boring game. Whats worst, its so slow and it take too much time to advance that the same boring environment makes it hard to be scary because all the repetitive features it have. I played it for almost 1 hour and I found NOTHING to be scared about, I gave up with the game when I left the lab with all the “meaty” stuff on the walls. This game tries TOO HARD to be scary it ends between boring and cartoonish.
