Talk about a fall from grace for Frictional Games after the fantastic prior releases, Amnesia: Dark Descent and SOMA. Amnesia: Rebirth is absolutely terrible. Incredibly cliche horror tropes, terrible writing, unbearably bad voice acting, and monster encounters that are so poorly executed that it makes you just want to stop playing the game. Amnesia: Rebirth breaks the #1 rule of all horror games: DO NOT FRUSTRATE …

I had to replay this great game on PC even though I already played it on the Xbox at the start of the year. It has some annoying elements, such as the low number of matches in some areas or the need to quiet down the baby every second, but other than that, it was a fun and intense game. I also really like the character Tasi; you can relate to her during the entire game because she has been through a lot. …

Average pregnant woman simulator. Not much else to say. In all honesty though, this game was incredible. As a woman with her own issues when it comes to having children, it hit really close to home. It’s definitely not for everyone since the main theme (in my opinion) is something specific to a decently small group of people. I wouldn’t say it’s purely “female horror”, but it also kind of is. Tasi is my favorite …

There is a lot of good stuff in this game. The sound design, voice acting, some puzzles are peak Amnesia. The gameplay itself is fantastic and more immersive and involving than it was in SOMA. The issue is, the game just does not let you play it. You are constantly bombarded by flashbacks, flashforwards, unskippable cutscenes, stumbling animations, baby animations... Tasi keeps talking constantly etc. By the last …

I do not play horror games, I do not like horror games, and yet here I am recommending a horror game. Amnesia Rebirth somehow made me care enough about the story to push through every moment of me wanting to close the app and never open it again. The writing is genuinely good, the atmosphere is the kind that makes you paranoid even when nothing is happening, and the puzzles will humble you if you are not used to …

Players who liked Amnesia: Rebirth talk about great story and Lovecraftian atmosphere; those who didn't talk about too many unskippable cutscenes and flashbacks. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Amnesia: Rebirth received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received strong approval, being recommended by 70% of critics. Ben Reeves of Game Informer noted that "Praising Amnesia: Rebirth as a horror experience is easy", specifically noting the "superb environmental design and sound work". As a game, however, it comes up short in a lot of areas" specifically noting the puzzles ruined the tension of the game and that the goals of the game are often unclear with maze-like rooms that make you easily miss your target. Phil Hornshaw of GameSpot echoed this statement, stating that "none of…

positive · AI labelView post →I didn't personally enjoy this game as much as the Dark Descent, but it is still better than A Machine for Pigs in my opinion. The plain desert being the main setting for this game doesn't really feel like an Amnesia game, and the story is, I guess fine? Not as good as the Dark Descent but certainly better than AMFP. I do like how they added some sort of "sanity" mechanic that brings the purpose of the series though. I wouldn't recommend this game, and would only get it at a sale.

The cutscenes are so bad and barely allow you to play the game without being interrupted every like five minutes. And the worst part are the puzzles. They are just straight horrendous. Find that thing then put it into this thing then find these mysterious symbols then turn these things and so on. The only reasonable explanation I could think of is that Frictional…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a nice adventure game and I give it props for the setting and themes. The game frontloads A LOT of notes and flashbacks, and Tasi talks A LOT to herself to guide the player, both of these things can be incredibly frustrating and I understand why this would be unappealing to people. However SOMA and Dark Descent get passes for things this game does not, and I don't feel like that's warranted. The game has a great setting, it's far more "Lovecraftian" than anything else that relies on…

It’s the fear of being alone with your thoughts, of remembering things you’d rather forget, of confronting the parts of yourself you don’t fully understand. That’s the feeling that stayed with me throughout the journey. At first, the desert felt vast and silent, almost peaceful in its emptiness. But the further I walked, the more that silence became suffocating like a reminder that no matter how much space…

I hardly manage to dislike games anyway. To me a game is a good game if you manage to have good time with it by itself, as simple as that. That's why comparing things to things is the worst way to understand the potential of a single game, and is just a bias of conformism for those unable to exercise discernment. This game is objectively…
