Amnesia A Machine For Pigs is definitely a good game, but in my opinion it could not meet the expectations (which honestly were way too high to be met anyway).
The points I enjoyed the most were the Story, it´s pacing, the setting and the absolutely gorgeous sound.
The main things that I did not enjoy were the missing interaction, the low difficulty level and the absence of the sanity sytem. Though I understand that too much interaction may distract the player and too difficult puzzles may get the player stuck I think that putting in some more moveable objects and just increasing the difficulty a little bit would not hurt the gameflow and intensify the immersion a lot. Even worse the missing sanity system and ressource management are two big points that made the enemies less of a threat and therefore not as scary as they could have been.
Nevertheless I enjoyed the game :)
