To fans of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, this game is a huge disappointment
To fans of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, this game is a huge disappointment. To start with the good, it excels at creating atmosphere. There are some great scenes and very fitting music. You get a small taste of a story that would probably have been interesting if they told you more of it, but then that’s all there is. They give you an unlimited light source and simplify all other parts of the gameplay so you can just stroll through the one path they left you and let them tell you the story, which feels like a movie adaptation of a book where you can tell something's missing unless you've read the book, but there's no book. I can’t understand why they used the Amnesia title for this game which plays NOTHING like The Dark Descent. It would have been a sort of okay game if they hadn’t tried to associate it with Amnesia, but since they did it's actually misleading on top of mediocre, so I recommend ignoring it and waiting for whatever comes out of Frictional next.

I don't get the hate on this one, it's just a totally different experience; it's not The Dark Descent
I don't get the hate on this one, it's just a totally different experience; it's not The Dark Descent. It's less of a focus on gameplay and more of a focus on the story and narrative, as well as the meaning of what is going on. The concept itself is seriously fascinating. Personally, as I get older the gameplay aspect of video games has become increasingly dull. I'm no longer entertained by the "playing" aspect of video games, but when the platform is utilized correctly, it can make for a very mature, aesthetic, and immersive experience. I think this game hits that mark.
