Supremely disappointing
I absolutely adored the first amnesia, and this has almost none of what made it great. It tells, rather than shows. Everything is well lit. Your lantern never runs out of fuel. There's barely anything you could even call a puzzle. And worst of all, it's not scary. You encounter only about 2 or 3 enemy types throughout the game, and I was only chased as many times in its entirety. They're not even scary. Also gone from the previous game: the tab menu. This is huge. You have no inventory, explaining the fewer puzzle. Your health automatically regenerates after a few seconds. You have no sanity to manage whatsoever. Your eyes don't adjust to the dark because, again, you have an endless lantern and virtually no reason to put it away ever. The game manages to explain and explain and explain at you constantly, but somehow tells you almost nothing about the story as it does so. This isn't vagueness or subtlety, it's bad writing. In short, this game is very poor. I have a difficult time recommending it, because it has almost none of what an Amnesia game should have. It's not scary, it's barely tense, it only has a moderately interesting story that is painfully predictable. The writing is repetitive, heavy-handed, and filled with needless amounts of purple prose. If you want good horror, go play Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It's about a thousand times better. In fact, a number of the custom stories made for that game are scarier than this.
