When I first played Amnesia: The Dark Descent I didn't know what to expect, what I got was an amazing, completely terryfing horror experience. I was really excited for this game, though it has many changes from the original it does a great job in the atmosphere and in scares. This game gets the word "horror" just perfectly. Does it live up to the original? YES. Is it better than the original: YES, but in its own unique way... This game redifines horror and if you are a horror fan, you shouldn't miss it at all.
