Overrated game.

[ЯeÐ ĄnimaŁ ШaЯ]

Just finished it, was a OK game but for some reason I was more annoyed then scared. I am so glad I did play on Normal and not on hard.

There are no enemies, nothing to shoot. There is only ONE enemy that you can not kill, not even in the end (well two if you count rats). And the entire game is about finding codes.

The game claims that "if something sounds possible, then it probably is". Well ♥♥♥♥ no, I do not know where this hype about multiple solutions and "use your wits" comes from but its basic ♥♥♥♥♥ linear progression, something I have absolutely nothing against but do not make stupid claims about how open and multiple solution this game is.

Like using a grenade vs a stone to break a door? WTF is supposed to be multiple solutions? Like going through a shaft instead blasting a door? The is pretty much the ONLY thing I found a multi "solution" to and its laughable to what you think it MIGHT BE.

I placed the dynamite and the devs where so nice and placed an explosive barrel right next to it, cool, I rolled it next to the dynamite and shot it, guess what - NOTHING. So much for it if sounds like it should work it probably will. I mean I get it, you are forced to go to the linear way to get the last item to blast the ♥♥♥♥ but WHY OH WHY would you even place a explosive barrel there. Total illusion of choice and openness, basic ♥♥♥♥♥ one by one without a map. I was not afraid of the beast, I was just annoyed AF when I dead because I had to redo lot if ♥♥♥♥ and rewalk there.

The difficulty comes just from the fact that you have no clue how the AI actually works an how it finds you, when what your flashlight to loud? How does it actually react to light? You do not know ♥♥♥♥. I guessed the beast does not come there, like "SAVE SPACE", and that it does not come into the light, both are wrong, also there are no clear obvious hiding spots so you never know if you are save or not, I guess people will claim this as a plus. I hide under tables and in corners and most of the time it worked. Funny enough I hid in a shelf that I closed from the inside, basically the typical hiding place in many games, outlast for example and it got me there even tough I made no sound at all.

Also is it better to let he flashlight die out if you want to hide or just use single charge pull to keep it low? You DO NOT KNOW, THE GAME DOES NOT TELL YOU and it probably does not matter, this is cheap scare based on obscurity and transparency. Do not like this at all. But I guess people will specifically like it because if that. It was just an annoying trail and error game at time.

It kind of cool looking, cool atmosphere but all the pointless physical objects ...

Anyway OK game but for sure not a great game.

What is the point of the shotgun? Oh I forgot the 3rd enemy type that is a ghost or a crazy soldier or whatever the ♥♥♥♥ in the end. I go the shotgun from him or next to him. FOR WHAT? Is it random? I read you can also blast doors, even a metal door with it? Well the way I found it was totally pointless as the beast in the end can not be killed and is scared away by a pistol bullet the same way so why a shotgun for that? I played the entire game with the pistol had it fully loaded at the end FOR WHAT? I hoped it would at least throw a couple of enemies at me. I ended up needed almost all of the bullets for the dance with the beast in the end but it was pretty disappointing. I get that this is not a shooter but I expected something more.

And for those who actually really enjoy it its way to short. I insta uninstalled. I do not care of the tags and in different places if you start a new game, its basically the same ♥♥♥♥, no replay value at all, when you done you probably happy its over and that its short.

6.5/10. Did not remember if I played the 1st game or not. Graphics, sound and atmosphere are all great, that is not everything though.

wdym overrated?

[nicks husband coach]

you can kill the big boy in the final part
why are you crying about all of this go play your call of duty matches and scream whenever you die

[nicks husband coach]

game would feel empty if theres no pointless physical objects its the most important thing in every game a pointless item that you can pick up and throw around or break it if its breakable
if this is how you complain then i wonder what game do you like ? every game has pointless objects

[nicks husband coach]

you can close the door to the room where you save and lock it

Literally every other game does NOT have this and does NOT feel perticularly empty. Some games spam you with items you do not need but can pick up that is also annoying.

I was literally running away and it was right behind me, I was running for the save, the devs never thought of this, this save almost killed me entire playthorough. I expected the beast to spawn elsewhere after the save. Its ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game design. I had to time to turn around and close the door, it was bascially exactly behind. So stop shilling and tripple posting nonsense.

I can kill the beast in the final fight. Well I shot like 4 bullets and one shotgun bullet at it, I do not think my gas granade hit it but I thought I can not kill it, just scared it with a shot, moved the ♥♥♥♥, scared it again, moved more, till I could jump up. To late for me to know this and I guess that is one of those super maga "different solutions"

The game also like to tell you earlier that you can not kill it, so I guess this is one of those great "secrets" that are great for generating hype on the internet. Because everybody will be writing about that you can kill it after all. So it get a godmode b4 that and that godmode gets disabled only for the last fight I guess.

I would rather have the game like send 7 enemies at me that I had to kill with 1 shot each or something, that would be feel like an accoplishment having to saved up a revolver full of ammo and having to kill another one with the shotgun or something else.

The game has less than 2000 reviews and the reviews are mostly just "It's fine"
What do you even mean by "overrated"? lol

Since when can you review a game as "It's fine" on steam. YOU CANT! And steam "reviews" and NOT REVIEWS they are FREE ADVERTISEMENTS from ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for the devs. Its literally a marketing tool created by Valve but too many morons do not get that. You can NOT RATE games on steam ON PURPOSE. You can only "recommend" or "not recommend" its a BINARY advertising system and every moron who would rate a game 51/100 clicks "recommend" and then writes in their review that they almost did "do not recommend". Valve knows this and that is why they made this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ system. Its geared to make every ♥♥♥♥ game look positive. It also gives ♥♥♥♥♥♥ devs the free pass on releases bugfests games so they always get a "postive" rating later with the "recently rated" ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

And even IF I would take steam ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ seriously its saying "very positive" NOT "It's OK" so no clue what you are pulling out of your fingers but you just made it up.

The game has a 77 Metascore that is more than OK but the Gaming press is also a advertising arm of the gaming industry, it it would be from some big AAA company they would auto rate it higher. What really counts is the userscore, basically the only thing I take seriously and that is 8.0 currently. TOTALLY OVERRATED. I would give it maybe 69 max.

Just read some negative reviews and they said exactly what I said.

1. Linear.
2. Repetitive.
3. Annoying rather then scary.
4. To short (weirdly a positive if you do not like the game and want be done with it)

I think you're overreacting.

I think you should look at the steam reviews again lol. A majority of them say, "This is the best amnesia game ever made!" I barely saw any reviews that just said, "it's fine".....

[Magos Flibble]

You just sound upset and angry. Maybe simmer down before trying to make a “review” of the game.

Yeah, there was a ton of rave reviews which absolutely shocked me. I could understand enjoying it, but thinking it is better than TDD is wild to me.

I played TDD, pretty outdated and understandable for such an old game. I just got the game and I already felt more tense here when the monster hasn't even come out yet than anything the original had to offer. Enemies were also pretty bad at actually catching you paired with their very scripted nature.

Weird things to complain about bro.

Yes I am because I dislike it when people praise some game like this when its really not THAT good, I never said its bad, I said its a OK game. Its for sure not a masterpiece or anything like that. And the other games of the series should NOT be the comparison (I think I did not play any of them, maybe he 1st long time ago and I do not remember) the comparison should be ALL games. The Resident Evil 4 remake for example took me 22 hours to finish on hardcore. And it was fun, had variety and lots of action. I had much more fun with that and it took me days to finish. It was also totally linear of course and I choose to do some requests and planned to do more actually did not know they would fail after I progressed, I also found the requests annoying in RE4 remake and the chest treasure collection, ending up doing like 65% of the requests I think and lots of treasure I wish the had game modes without that ♥♥♥♥ so I would not feel the need to do annoying tasks and backtrack, it only stretched the playtime and that is what they want. Its marketing and money for them if people stay longer in the game.

And they made no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ claims about "use your wits" and "multiple solutions" and "open world" (I saw someone seriously write this) about his game, with RE4 they are honest about that it is and not used ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ marketing and then deliver something laughable.

I am still w8ing for examples of "multiple solutions" that I missed in the game. I have a feeling its really not much more then that one shaft and just the way you break doors down. Where can you actually "use your wits" to do something smart that just works as you expect? Please do tell!

Anyway overall I had MUCH more fun with RE4 remake for example then with this. And I know this is not a action game but a "horror" game. Then again, the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ beast is more annoying then scary and there is nothing else so yeah this game just does not deserve this high rating where RE4 I at least understand the high ratings, actually the userscore is just 74 because some morons claim they "destroyed the original" and get overly upset over Ada Wongs voice actress. The funny think is, I head comparison clips on drama channels and got it, guess maybe they were right about diversity hire ... but when I actually played the game I did not really notice her being bad AT ALL. I only realized this after the game. Like "Oh w8 that was her so supposedly horrible voice actress". Her comeback is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ woke funny however. Like her Ada is different her Ada is strong ... rofl. And that Asians should not he serialized ROFL that is all they did with Ada that SHE voiced, she is a totally hottie and they have a shot on her ass all the time its so laughable. SHE endorsed by what she claimed by what she is against by voicing her. I really could not care less but her woke nonsense gets me.

I could not care less about a removed level, did not remember the original and the controls on PC were perfectly fine for me. I would actually rate it higher then 74 for sure but not like 92 like the shilling press does. Make 84 or something.

And yes its perfectly fine to compare the actual fun you have between some AAA game and this. This game does not hold up. I also played Outlast and Alien Isolation and have to admit that this is not my fav genre, but Alien Isolation I liked quite a lot despite that fact, Outlast not so much, Alien Isolation lots more then this for sure, even though I do not remember much, it was mainly also running from one Alien right? It was more polished, better delivery, not so much backtracking or none at all if I remember correctly.
