Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs Reviews

Mix of moderately creepy, effectively grim, and often extremely goofy, overall pretty charming. Could do with a little more sense of "threat" from what enemies there are. Mechanically, it's done away with some of the more effective tricks from Dark Descent and I don't know that the tricks which replaced them is necessarily better -it has an annoying habit of [spoiler]showing you a pigman who immediately wanders away without seeing you and then vanishes[/spoiler], but summed up- a short and enjoyable, if rather shaky and inconsistent ride.

It's okay. honestly its a bit boring like walking simulator but horror version. Overall not horrible story ig.

Well after playing through it I cannot really recommend the game. it is OK, but honestly too short and not of the quality of the first game. 5/10

wasted potential, could've been incredible, the first hour was very good... but yeah, then it's wasted potential, it's a game that is very good in theory, but it could've been 20x better VERY easily in practice

had alot of fun with it. the story is more enjoyable and "finished" i want to say than tdd. it is a walking sim but the atmosphere created is very good and youll still tweak out at points. if what you liked from tdd was the atmosphere and story than this is a defo play youll love this one aswell. if its gameplay youre after im sorry vro....

Excellent, thought provoking story. It is very light on gameplay mechanics aside from some light point & click-esque puzzles. But I had an enjoyable 4.5 hours. If you are looking for a narrative driven horror game, this is worth your time.

A Machine for Pigs was a pleasant surprise for me because ever since it came out fans of Amnesia: The Dark Descent kept nagging on how it was a complete disappointment, and here my friend I completely disagree after playing it for the first time. As an amnesia game I honestly give it a 6/10 because of the lack of significant threats and mechanics that were present in the prequel. However, as a standalone game I can easily give it an 8/10 for the grimy steam punk aesthetic and the fantastic story that keeps getting better the more that you play. Overall, this game compensates for the lack of horror with an awesome story that makes it a great experience in my books.

loved it, after tdd i had very high expectations. there is something about the amnesia games and it leaving an impact after, its mild yet very exciting even story wise. sometimes it was difficult to follow the story and there werent many encounters + the only thing i am negative about is the slowmotion when you enter a certain area that just lasts too long for my liking. other than that its totally worth the time and price

Now see here its a good game but expect it to crash a lot and it is a much different experince compared to the dark decent but the story is a hard carry

Not only did this game crash for me 3 times in the 30 minutes that I played, when I first launched the game, there was already a profile called "Hi", which absolutely was not me. When I clicked continue it spawned me 10 minutes into the first area. This game is cursed and I'm never installing it again.
