Amnesia: A machine for Pigs is lacking in almost all fields compared to Dark Descent. For some reason the great sanity system has been ripped away, the all encompassing colour fog makes everything very flat and dull, level design is even more linear and boring than in DD, and the interesting clutter is missing, now almost everything that you can move is important to you in someway. And AAMFP relies much more on very, very used horror tropes than DD (children crying, singing and playing, self moving cradles etc). Yes, you could say same about DD, but it used them with much better way than a much more boring AAMFP. I think only the musical score was better in AAMFP than in DD and the game got a little better towards the end, but all in all AAMFP was a disappointment.
