Амнезия: Машина для свиней

The first hour is really great, and got me excited for the rest of the game. A big, creepy late 1800's English mansion with terrifying rooms and 2 really great scares boded well for the rest of the story. However once you leave the mansion and the first hour is over, you quickly realize you're in for a different experience. The only thing you can interact with in what SHOULD be a physics-based puzzle game are chairs(???) and the puzzle solutions--what the hell? The “puzzles” are solved by simply picking up the nearest thing you can actually pick up and bringing it to the end of a hallway or door that you can open. Boom, puzzle solved, and onto the next section. The door locks behind you, and the second realization hits: this game is linear as FUCK, and not necessarily in a good way. The exploration is outright gone, and there are no health items, lighting utensils, nothing--all doors, dressers, closets, cupboards, etc. are all locked and/or not interactive, so just point your cursor forward and march on. While the game’s atmosphere is great for the most part, the story can’t carry it through the full 4-5 hours--even then, the gothic, foreboding atmosphere gives way to pipes and crates. The first game was ambiguous, but had disturbing implications and terrifying realizations as the narrative unfolded and both you and Daniel figured out what the hell was going on. It was extremely impactful to me back when I first played it in 2012, and it holds up extremely well in 2020. However, this game’s story just simply isn’t up the snuff. The implications that you are related to Daniel (and that the revenge ending is the canon one) is really awesome, but that’s about it. You quickly figure out that you’re behind all this madness, and while it’s gross and fun to imagine all the horrific experiments and descent into madness your main character went though, none of it is realized by the end. And boy, what a lazy, quick ending.

Great horror game!! I get lost some parts, but dammn it's a good story, great details on the levels and backgrounds designs and the music/voice acting is fantastic!

Amnesia: AMDP is a great game. the atmosphere is superb and the graphics are actually good for its time. I reccomend it to any horror game fan, but not for the faint of heart, as the gameplay and story are both horrifyingly great. 10/10 (or) attacks the heart/attacks the heart

Love it very good amazing story and very scary!

Most fans of the original will be disappointed. But it's too good to be called a bad game. If you can decipher the complicated, confusing, and fragmented story, you'll experience the greatness of this game. Many fans of the original, including myself, aren't smart enough to decipher the text and will be disappointed by this one because we're expecting an action horror game with enemies. Unfortunately, I didn't realize how great it was until I saw a website that explained the story. Which one are you?
