“A great return to form for the series. Not to make this another review about A Machine for Pigs, but the return of vital features from Dark Descent (sanity, resource management, limited lantern use, persistent…”
“The first time I played this game in 2023 I really hated it. It felt impulsive to leave a negative review immediately, so I just abandoned the game. 3 years later, I came back to replay it (and get all the achievements)…”

“Overall a really good game if you like horror and puzzles. Having to check the baby was super annoying. I wish the female protog had other motivations other than baby daddy and baby, she was a little flat.”
“The story was iffy, leaving me with a more mixed review. Graphics and music were good, and I do like the picking up and moving random objects, I'm glad it still has that. Now the story. It was a bit disappointing not…”

“Amnesia: Rebirth is, in my opinion, the second best game of the franchise, after Amnesia: The Dark Descent. So like in the first game you have nice puzzles, an awesome atmosphere and also a very good graphic design. If…”
“A genuinely good horror game with an outstanding story, some strong writing and gorgeous visuals.”

“This is an excellent sequel to Dark Descent! Frictional Games does it again a decade later. Roots you right back into the fearful agonizing state of mind that Frictional Games brought us with the Penumbra series and…”
“Yeah, the game mechanics for the enemies were not great. I am surprised that I survived the Wraith, what with how bad my progress was going with enemies. It doesn't help that the darkness and severe lack of reliable…”

“scariest game i've ever played”
“Very intriguing journey through worlds. Solid story, fun gameplay and a great OST to accompany it all. Probably has the most intense, well-designed chase sequences I've played in a horror game. They felt really, really…”
“good, didn't grip me at first but after the first hour or two I was hooked. less scary than the bunker, more scary, to me, than soma.”

“I found this much more of a puzzle-walking-sim than an immersive horror-hide-and-seek-sim. From that, you're probably better off watching a playthrough of this game rather than playing it yourself - you'd feel the same…”
“Amnesia: Rebirth had a difficult task for me, because The Dark Descent is probably my favorite game of all time. I had some doubts before playing it, but in the end I think it is a very good game and I would definitely…”

“Laughable amnesia entry, where devs decided to implement modern DEI ideals in an early 1900's format. Its cringe and makes no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense. Made every white man into literally the essence of evil. Except P.O.C, In…”
“Overall a really good game if you like horror and puzzles. Having to check the baby was super annoying. I wish the female protog had other motivations other than baby daddy and baby, she was a little flat.”

“7/10 At the start of the game, it felt like a hard pill to swallow. You had to do a walking simulator which was kinda long. Then, you had to learn the sanity, torch, matches, lamp mechanics which were fine. Basically,…”
“Sometimes scary, beautiful most of the time. Didn't impress me as much as SOMA.”
“It doesn’t really feel like the old-school Amnesia games. This one feels more story-driven than gameplay-focused, which I personally didn’t find that enjoyable. The puzzles were annoying as hell. The main character…”

“Not as bad as people say it is. More linear than the other Amnesia games for sure, but still a ton of fun. The horror and the constant sense of looming doom that shadows over you is still here just like in other…”
“Definatly the second best Amnesia game, the story is very interesting and the designs of the other world areas are incredible, the gameplay is also very engaging and the tension and atmosphere in the other wold areas…”
“Moderately interesting game, but too long and boring gameplay wise. 12/20. Half the length with better and more varied levels would have been the sweet spot here. The promised setup of a desert was great but…”

“I do not play horror games, I do not like horror games, and yet here I am recommending a horror game. Amnesia Rebirth somehow made me care enough about the story to push through every moment of me wanting to close the app and never open it again. The writing is genuinely good,…”
— a player, Steam review · 12 hrs played“Another magnificent game from Frictional (creators of SOMA). Playing Rebirth was a relentlessly intense experience from beginning to end. Admittedly I gave up in the early game on my first try, as I found the puzzles too vague to unravel....that was until I discovered that the…”
— a player, Steam review · 40 hrs played“You'd think if it was this easy to cross into the other world, just by visiting Algeria, Alexander would've done it already over his several hundred year long lifespan back in The Dark Descent. I mean, this game implies Herbert was SENT by him. Why didn't he just go himself?…”
