Amnesia: Rebirth

I must say, I'm not really a fan of this game, even when I don't look at it from an "Amnesia franchise" perspective. Compared to the rest of the franchise, this seriously doesn't feel like an Amnesia game, even when compared just to The Dark Descent. The whole story, gameplay and pacing feel like they were written by a team of women who recently went through labor, because the entire game revolves around that theme. You're constantly being interrupted by the baby kicking in your stomach, cutscenes showing past events, and even phone calls with the doctor right before you're about to climb a ladder, which won't let you climb until the conversation is over. And that's just one of many examples. Then there's the fear mechanic, which sounds like someone mixing ground beef with their bare hands. It gets seriously annoying after a while. There are also 100+ pieces of notes and documents to collect in a game that can be finished in around 2 to 3 hours, which feels like a bit much. Definitely not the best game I've played, but I gave it a chance because it's part of the Amnesia franchise. Other than that, I didn't find many big pros or advantages. Visually, the game looks good, and the …

Requiem was less tedious. The pregnancy mechanic is completely unnecessary to the story, You could be just chasing after the kid; this is ridiculous. The STORY is cool, but the game wouldn't be the stain that it is on frictional if people thought this was a good idea mechanically. I am a big fan of frictional and it's writing in general, I have played and beaten every game and automatically purchase anything they ever make, I dropped this game and picked it up again a whopping 6 years after I first played it. It takes 5ever to actually start getting interesting as well :(.. I wish they paid more attention to the exploration team that came before them.

After one hour walking around while hearing like I am in kind of a p*rn movie because of all the main character overreacting 'aah' and 'ooh', I had enough. I've chosen original mode and still it was a walking simulator (and i like those), but personally the story wasn't for me and made it worse after the numerous unskippable scenes. Too slow for a (psychological) horror game for me. Graphics and effect are nice. The fear system to be in the light is somewhat not needed in the beginning/ just sprint from area to area and save your matches/ oil. Don't know how it's later on.

7/10

6/10 The start of the game is quite slow and almost failed to keep me interested until I encountered the first part where you could problem solve and encounter scary scenarios. The death animation is probably one of the worst I've encountered in my entire life of playing games, it is like watching a short trailer, leading into a hard locked animation of getting up which is very poorly designed for time sake. I could not stand having to rub my stomach every little section to reduce your characters fear this is just a garbage mechanical design. Having to press a button every time your in a loading screen is just unnecessary and slightly annoying, it takes away from my immersion. I did enjoy the aspect of them bringing back some style of puzzles from Amnesia The Dark Descent including when interracting with the notes where the dialogue is read to you. World design was alright pretty bland overall. The enemy design was pretty cool. This game is definitely better than Amnesia A Machine For Pigs though because that game was pretty bad.

i mean it's alright i guess another walking simulator although compared to ''a machine for pigs'', i think it tells the story less efficiently the whole check on ur baby thing was kinda annoying at times but i get it very good voice acting in my opinion though 6/10
