Het tweede deel in de Amnesia reeks werd niet zo gewaardeerd als de eerste. Ik ben het daar helemaal niet mee eens. Ten eerste is het gemaakt door The Chinese Room en niet door Frictional Games, dus er zitten sowieso al verschillen tussen hoe beide game ontwerpers te werk gaan en dat respecteer ik. Na de inovatieve gameplay van The Dark Descent, die letterlijk een genre populair maakte, is het natuurlijk een kolossale opdracht om datzelfde succes te recreëren met A Machine for Pigs.

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs heeft een meer intelligent verhaal dan dat je zou denken. Alleen door het helemaal uit te spelen kan je het echt gaan begrijpen en waarderen. Het spel is iets korter dan de eerste in de reeks, maar niet minder eng!

Eindoordeel: 8,3/10 - Goed

Massive downgrade from TDD, basically a walking sim. Solid atmosphere and story, but 0 replay value.
Also crashes all the time.

AMFP is a big downgrade after the beautiful TDD. The game feels too dull without a sanity system or even an inventory. The puzzles are extremely easy, kinda makes me miss how even those were interactive in TDD. The scares are not really good, the main enemy pig(?) has a really simple ai that only patrols around places. I could only bear to play for 1.5 hours because it felt like a walking sim with nothing interesting to offer. Maybe the story is good, but I’d rather watch or read about it. I might change my review in the future if I finish it, but for now, it’s just not good.

I didn't expect anything. And I liked it!

worst pig machine simulator ever

One of the best horror games out there, with an emphasis on story rather than gameplay. The game is highly atmospheric with an amazing soundtrack. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes a good and touching story.

Unlike other reviewers, i never had an issue with the saving system (i played the game in 2 sessions or so, died only once or twice), aside from that the game doesnt have any issues aside from a few annoying sections towards the end.

The game has amazing writing, truly amazing. Its a relatively short but very sweet experience, The Chinese Room outdid themselves when making this game. Absolute gaming.

I had played the original Amnesia on my Xbox, a couple years back. It was horrifying. An experience I still reminisce about today. I had heard this game was much less well received, but. I found every bit of horror and amazement as I had found in the game previous. But at the same time, apples and oranges. This game gave me so much more, and had a story I enjoyed maybe even a little bit more than the dark descents. One day, when I work up the courage. I will replay it.
