“The story and the ending in this game for me were just 👌 Everyone want the game to be how They think it should be, and this is why all the games are a mess these days. How about You just enjoy the story the developers…”
“Genuinely one of the best stories I've had the pleasure of playing through. True victorian gem. I don't care about people who berate the game for being a walking simulator. Top 2 Amnesia Game right after the first one.”
“honestly 85% of the game is mid and the "puzzles" felt infuriating at times tho that ending got aura and hype moments fr”

“They call her a walking simulator, well guess what I call her? MY MASTERPIECE. More time for me to admire the stunning scenery, OST, story and voice acting. (I love the art direction in this game so much but I don't…”
“Great: - story - voice acting - soundtracks - [spoiler] city's atmosphere with massacre near the end [/spoiler] Dissapointed: - lack of horror elements - no fear for your life - the beginning of the game is slow and…”
“The story is interesting and the music is goated, but its such a drag to get through, so when you get to the good part you just want to get it over with.”

“This one’s a bit of a mixed bag. On the positive side, it absolutely nails the atmosphere. It leans more into being a horror walking simulator than a traditional horror game, but it works. There are no cheap jumpscares…”
“Super underrated game, its a really solid sequal to Dark Descent, i love the whole concept of the game of an old industrial factory underground that has humanoid brute pigs roaming around the place, the horror theme was…”

“A Machine for Pigs is an entirely stupid experience, but I can't bring myself to truly dislike it. It's a far cry from the intense immersion of The Dark Descent because it has little to no interactivity or story in…”

“Great game, really scary and atmospheric just like the first Amnesia game. It's old and crashes sometimes but it's not a huge deal. Also a really short game unfortunately but also still fine. My only real complaint is…”
“Amnesia: The Dark Descent is better then this game if you wan buy it but you don't miss anything and this game is stuck on 60 to 40 fps there is a work around but it just 4h off game play so i was lazy to fix it（−＿−）”

— a player, Steam review · 10 hrs played“Barely a horror “game,” but a really good story if you’re into that Game gets hard carried by the atmosphere and the story. Gameplay-wise, it’s very stripped down—puzzles are simple and there’s barely any real challenge, so if you’re expecting something like The Dark Descent,…”
— a player, Steam review · 396 hrs played“Definitely a lot shorter than both The Dark Descent and Rebirth, and definitely feels the weakest out of the series, however I still did enjoy it but there are a couple of issues I have with this game. First of all, the game is very short, usually only taking 3-5 hours to…”
