Амнезия: Машина для свиней

A Machine for Pigs is an allegory to human greed and misconception. It divests itself of the Lovecraftian garment of the past and trades horror of the unknown for dread, disturbing and sometimes, heart wrenching imagery. Add to the mixture some high quality prose, amazing voice acting, riveting soundtrack and the best story in the (survival-horror) genre since Silent Hill 2. Highly recommended!

I must have been playing a completely different game to the other reviewers, I found this game to be absolutely terrifying, a real work of genius, art and horror! Yes they removed the need to hunt continuously for candles, fantastic, the most frustrating and annoying aspect of Amnesia has been removed! I have not been so gripped by a games atmosphere in years! Buy!

First of all, this game is nothing like TDD, maybe some of the atmosphere and the name are the only common traits, having said this it seems this is the reason this game has been getting such low scores, because fans of TDD didn't really care too much for the story, they liked it because of the horror elements, while this game tells a much more compelling, disturbing and progressive story, everything abouth the story in this game is masterfully done, the way it develops, the twists, and it leaves you disturbed for quite some time, focusing so much on the story means the gameplay is a tool to tell it, while the game features an incredible atmosphere and sound design it's not as scary as TDD, but again, it doesn't need to be, it's a completely different game and i bet you if this game was called any other title than "amnesia" it would be receiving a lot of praise, i definitely recommend this if you are a fan of horror games, it's one of the best stories ever told.

Why call it that? Because that is exactly what this is. This is a lazy cash cow with the amnesia name slapped on it cause they knew people like me would buy it. If you like Dear Esther, good for you enjoy this game. But if you like amnesia, Don't bother. This "game" is a casual walking simulator with build up and atmosphere but nothing in it worth being afraid of.

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.
