Амнезия: Машина для свиней

For me, at least, this game was much scarier than the first Amnesia title. While The Dark Descent had its horror highlights mostly in the first half of the game and got less horrifying towards the end, A Machine for Pigs starts out slowly in the first half and then cranks up the horror as you proceed. I also very much liked the industrial setting, which I found to be more threatening than the old castle. It does have a very different feel to it, compared to the first one, mostly due to having less focus on item-based puzzles - personally, I didn't miss them, but depending on what aspects you liked in the first Amnesia and Penumbra, you may feel different. Only negative point for me is the extremely linear level design, which makes the experience feel rather artificial at times. -1 star for that.

I'm sure a lot of people were excited for the next installment and the past years updates and releases looked good, but the final product is horrible. You can complete it in 2 hours 55 minutes without speed running, and that's even finding all the notes and reading them. The description is laughable. "The darkest, most horrific tale ever told in a videogame." That is the biggest flat out lie I've ever seen. The story is one of the most boring I've encountered and is as clear as five pounds of dog feces. You do nothing, you walk and walk maybe pull down a lever or turn a valve then walk and walk and walk. You do not have a choice at all to explore because 98% of every door, window, and cabinet is locked. You can't even pick up 99% of objects. The graphics are awful, the voice acting is mediocre at best and never again will Frictional Games see any money from me. How dumb are they that they thought The Chinese Room was going to make this good? There is no forgiveness and no excuse.

That's actually the game real title, buy Amnesia: Dark Descent instead.

The game has alot of the atmosphere of the previous title, the music was good and the story was interesting. In fact, this game is so story heavy that it barely has any gameplay. The game has very few puzzles, if you could call them that, and when you get to them the game outright tells you what to do. Also it forces you stop and read the millions of notes that get added to your journal if you want to know more of the plot which I found to be hard to follow. The monsters are also fewer and easier to flee from. PS. I read here that many are upset over the inventory system, sanity system, the lantern, and the game's length. I have to say, it's rather silly to judge how good the game is based on it not having an inventory system, it's silly to judge the game based on it's length if it's as long or a little shorter than the all of the preceeding titles they've made, it's also silly to judge the game based on you not having to search for fuel to refill your lantern.

Good horror game if u are afraid of pigs :D
