Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs

Game review may contain spoilers

It wasn't as good as the first game, and in my opinion here's why:

The wasn't much of a variation in this game - no hubs or stopping points, either, like TDD (a hub as in after you escape the Archive Tunnels (the water monster chase scene), or after the Prison areas), and the game mainly focused on the story - there was no where else you could go, and nothing else to do except to just keep on walking. Plus, the environments kind of repeated themselves a bit. In TDD, there was a whole range of environments - the Prison, Laboratory, Wine Cellar, Refinery, Machine Room, Cistern, Sewer, Morgue, Chancel, Choir, Transept. These are just a few of the environments!

But don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed this game - the music was beautiful (and intense at relevant times), the voice acting was brilliant and the graphics were good as well.

But again with the variation - only one or two monsters? TDD had 4 in total, (including the Justine DLC Suitor) and were all equally terrifying - however I'm not really scared of pigs (most people aren't), so I guess it must've been fairly difficult to make them scary.

And the story? It wasn't the best. A man looking for his children, only to find out they died (which I thought was pretty obvious from the beginning, I mean, where did they suddenly vanish to, why could we mainly hear them, not see them, etc).

Overall, it was an atmospheric gem, but not perfect. No game is perfect. However I would recommend you to buy this, you wont regret it. :)
