The Worst Non-game I Have Ever Played

The best way to describe A Machine for Pigs is that it is basically the movie Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Except for rotating valves and opening doors there are no gameplay mechanics to speak of. No tinderboxes or oil to collect. This game makes Final Fantasy 13 look nonlinear. There is not a single iota of challenge to be found: puzzles are boringly easy and enemies are few and far between. Unlike A Dark Descent, where enemies spawn randomly, here they always spawn in the same place and have a stomping ground of about 10 cm. There isn't even a penalty for standing in the darkness where enemies can't detect you! Not only is the story shockingly bad, it is extremely over-reaching, over-dramatic and pointless. The game is not scary. The player is given such a long period of time to recognize what is happening that no jump scare will ever get you, and the subject matter is far from disturbing. I find the Teletubbies to be more frightening than A Machine for Pigs. Surprisingly there is uncensored male nudity in this game, including a scene where there is a literal respirator attached to a boy's genitalia, which is just absurd to the point of hilarity. Read that sentence again just for good measure. Pretty much the whole time I played this game I was making fun of it for how bad it is. The best thing about this game is how short it is. I can't believe I paid $20 for such a bad non-game. I would not recommend this game to anyone.

A pretentious walking simulator

Walking linear corridors all the time, trying to understand a cryptic yet silly and stupid storyline doesnt make this game worth a bite, simply because you would be too upset to play it for how bad it is compared to A Dark Descent, AMFP is a huge stepdown and while it is horrendously short (2 hours on record and i was taking my pace) it hasnt an interesting story, which is i am afraid, the only thing this game has.

Amazing

When i played it, i felt the difference with its predecessor, that bothered me a little. Just like the others said "a walking simulator". But then i got interested in the story, and damn, i cried, this game changed what a think about humanity, and morality

Walking simulator with horror elements

A indirect sequel to Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is developed by a company specialized in making "walking simulator" games, The Chinese Room, which is very telling. TL,DR: is a very inferior game to its predecessor, only buy it with a very high discount or get it for free ( I got it last year thanks to Humble Store). Basically this game has 3 positive features: ambience, narrative and music. The main scenario is a factory, Mundus Processing Company, and is very detailed, the machiines, tools, corridors, rooms... this industrial enviroment is very pleasant to look at. The surrounding areas (mansion, streets, church) are also artistically very well made. The plot, while both predictable and confusing, is compelling and the characters are very well voiced. The musical score is more orchestral, dramatic and emotional than the preeviouis game, and can even be considered better. Unfortunately it fails in all the rest. The horror is uninmaginative, built with jump scares, flickering lights, very loud noises and lots of darkness. The graphics feel worse than the previous game thanks to the Atrocious fog/smoke, which cpmbined with the darkness... hideous. The elements that made The Dark Descent scary And challeging are mostly gone here: no inventory, no oil, no tinderboxes, no sanity meter, autoregen, very limited interaction with objects. The enemy encounters are few, scripted very easy to overcome, there's only the need to evade and run the enemies. Only the first 3 are scary, because are very sudden and the 2nd has a very confusing layout. The game is entirely linear, with most doors locked and mostly the entry points either lock themselves or vanish(!). The only thing to explore is the notes, and most are very easy to find. No multiple endings and no real reason to replay it, except for finding all the notes. This is the perfect example of a game to finish once, uninstall and never play again.

Much better story than the dark descent

This game is very different from the famous first Amnesia. I guess a lot of people who were expecting more of the same got disappointed. It's not nearly as scary and you don't need to worry about matches or lantern oil. I think I prefer this to the original. The story is much better and the setting feels more fresh. Amnesia was very scary but not much more. This game has several other qualities besides from being scary. I'd recommend it for people who liked the original, Penumbra, Soma or any other frictional game. 3,5/5
