Amnesia: The Dark Descent Reviews

A classic! While it doesn't hold up great, its still a great introductory survival horror game that is quite accessible on modern hardware and can serve well as an entry point into the genre. I would highly recommend this game as an icon of what started this style of horror (especially indie horror). The story is also pretty good.

Classic horror game, very scary. I can see how it's a huge inspiration for games like Outlast

very fun but scary game my only problem is most of the time youre just waliking

Самая страшная игра, без шуток, не понимаю тенденцию разрабов которые дают в хорроры оружие и т.п. игрок должен чувствовать себя угнетенным и беспомощным в течении всего хоррора, тот же сх только атмосферный но страха там нет, тут иначе (кончено ощущается это больше на хардкоре когда риск просрать прогресс + гнетущая атмосфера) максимум что может сделать игрок это сидеть в углах и молится чтобы монстр не посмотрел в его сторону, с одной стороны это полный идиотизм, где ты не играешь в игру а ждешь таймингов чтобы монстр просто задиспавнился, а с другой, смотря в пол и слыша стоны и крики монстра ты невольно сжимаешь все что сжимается, за озвучку стонов Даниэля от ютубера Happywolf отдельный респект, но к сожалению кроме хорошего хоррора игре показать нечего, ни графики, ни физики, сюжет....ну интересно но мало ответов, атмосфера слегка проседает но вполне держится, музыка неплохо, но ничего особенного что хочется слушать на репите, саун дизайн да, хорош, какие-то тараканы бегают что-то падает, что-то вдалеке стонет, монстры кричат, загадки - полный 0, ничего особенного слишком просто и без изыска, нет это не значит что нужны загадки уровня харда сх2, но и какое-то замешательство они должны провоцировать, аддон к игре......что это....я вообще ничего почти не понял, какая-то женщина садистка Жустина, почемууу…? чтооо…? много вопросов к чему и почему Итог: игра стоит каждого цента, сделана неплохо, но не ждите чего-то прорывного в плане графики или геймплея

Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a horror game that keeps you on edge on what creeps in the darkness. It has a rich story and lore on whats going on about in the game. But what truly made me get this game, was a youtuber name "Pewdiepie". I've seen those let's plays long ago. That made me wanna get the game! Now here i'm playing the game and with its custom story it has.

A true classic; great gameplay, ambience, story. But ngl I'd like it a lot more if it didn't flashbang you every 2 minutes.

genesis for my favorite horror series, a classic

Loved this game, as well as the Justine DLC. This is a horror game that does not just rely on jumpscares and makes your skin crawl through its ambience and background soundtracks. The sudden gusts of wind opening doors, the distant screams that echo through the halls and the heavy breathing of the character after running from an enemy truly contributes in delivering a real sense of tension and terror. The story was good and the main character was well written, the voice acting, in addition, was good too. Amnesia The Dark Descent finally fulfilled my cravings for a Gothic adventure, one similar to reading the novel 'Dracula', in me. Therefore, anyone who wants a true 18th/19th century horror experience should get this game without a second thought.

An enjoyable story with lots to explore. Very atmospheric horror and doesn't rely on jump scares. It's on everyone's top horror game list for a reason.

[b]Recommended for:[/b] You like adventure games? You like horror? Then Amnesia: The Dark Descent should be at the top of your list to play. It's simply an amazing game and one of the best in the genre. It features a great Lovecraftian story, excellent voice acting, and good dialogs. There are only a few puzzles, and the ones that are in the game are relatively easy. Also, there are enemies which you can't fight, you can only hide or run away from them. Now, there is nothing wrong with difficult puzzles and enemies, but I think in the case of Amnesia they did the right thing by focusing on the story and putting the player in a constant state of anxiety. If you make it more difficult, then your brain is more focused on beating the game than being afraid. That being said, if you want more challenging puzzles and action, then Amnesia is probably not the game for you. I have to mention that graphically the game is starting to look a bit dated. I personally think it is still playable, but a remastered version with updated graphics would certainly be welcome. There are also mods that try to enhance the graphics a bit, but I have no experience with those. [b]My experience:[/b] When I first played Amnesia back in 2010, I hadn’t played a horror adventure in a long time. (If I remember correctly, the last one was Black Mirror from 2003!) And I was so impressed with Amnesia that it rekindled my love for horror adventure games. One of my best moments in gaming is turning off the lights, putting on my headphones, starting Amnesia: The Dark Descent and experiencing absolute terror.
