Über das Spiel

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs soll nicht direkt ein Sequel sein, sondern spielt nur im selben Universum mit einem anderen Charakter. Bevor wir keine konkreten Infos haben, soll dieses Zitat erst einmal genügen:

Set in 1899, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs follows the "wealthy industrialist" Oswald Mandus, who has returned home from "a disastrous expedition to Mexico, which has ended in tragedy." Struck by a destructive fever, Mandus is haunted by dreams of a dark machine until he mysteriously regains consciousness. Months have passed, unbeknownst to the industry tycoon, and as he emerges from his slumber the roaring engine of a mysterious machine sputters to life.

Diese Welt ist eine Maschine. Eine Maschine für Schweine. Eine Maschine, die nur fürs Schweineschlachten gut ist.

Dieses Mal haben die Entwickler von Amnesia: The Dark Descent und Dear Esther ein Ego- Horrorspiel für Sie entwickelt, das Sie erbarmungslos in die Abgründe von Gier, Macht und Wahnsinn hineinzieht. Es wird seine Schnauze in Ihre Rippen bohren ... und es wird Ihr Herz fressen!

Wir schreiben das Jahr 1899

Vom Fieber und Träumen über eine obskure, höllische Maschine geschüttelt, erwacht der wohlhabende Unternehmer Oswald Mandus in seinem Bett ... doch er erwacht in einem Albtraum von Realität, gemartert von Traumbildern einer desaströsen Expedition nach Mexiko, gebrochen durch die platzenden Träume einer industriellen Utopie und gepeinigt durch Schuld und eine Tropenkrankheit. Im Haus ist es still, aber der Boden unter ihm vibriert nach dem Willen einer teuflischen Maschine. Sicher weiß er nur, dass seine Kinder in Todesgefahr sind ... und dass nur er sie retten kann.

Features
  • Neues Herangehen an die Amnesia-Welt, wobei aber deren Wurzeln nicht in Vergessenheit geraten.
  • Die finsterste und grausigste Geschichte, die jemals Gegenstand eines Computerspiels war.
  • Überwältigender Soundtrack der preisgekrönten Komponistin Jessica Curry.

Systemanforderungen

  • CPU: Intel Core i3 / AMD A6 CPU des oberen Preissegments oder Äquivalent.
  • GFX: NVIDIA GeForce 200 / AMD Radeon HD 5000 des mittleren Preissegments. Integrierte Intel HD- Grafik sollte funktionieren, wird aber nicht unterstützt; Probleme können meist durch Treiberupdates behoben werden.
  • RAM: 2 GB
  • Software: Windows Vista
  • HD: 5 GB

Was kann ich über Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs sagen?

Das Spiel ist sehr atmosphärisch, und die Spielumgebung finde ich auch sehr gelungen und passend zum Setting. Zum Gameplay selbst gibt es nicht viel zu sagen man spaziert mit der Taschenlampe rum und erkundet die Spielwelt, und versucht am leben zu bleiben.

Das Spiel selbst teilt mit dem Vorgänger nur die Engine und das Interface. Die Story ist komplett unabhängig und sehr gut gemacht.
Das Gameplay im vergleich zum Vorgänger leider deutlich entschlankt und vereinfacht, so gibt es kein Öl mehr für die Öl Lampe und auch keinen Geisteszustand mehr. Die Spieldauer ist mir sehr kurz gefallen, doch durch die dichte und der sehr guten Erzählung ist es dennoch eine gute Geschichte gewesen.
Der Gruselfaktor hält leider nur bis zur hälfte des Spiels, danach greift aber die gute Story Erzählung durch und zieht dich durch den Rest des Spiels.

Wenn man der Sinn dieses Spiel verstehen will muss man genau auch wieder hier auf die Erzählung und die Atmosphäre achten.
Denn das sind die Stärken in diesem Spiel.

Am Ende klare Kauf und Spiel Empfehlung.

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs ist ein Horror/Adventure game aus dem Jahre 2013.... oder eher ein sehr langweiliger Walking-Simulator.

Wir spielen den wohlhabenden Unternehmer Oswald Mandus der unter Amnesie leidet und sich auf die Suche nach seinen Kindern macht. Dabei erkunden wir diverse Bereiche und landen schließlich in der Fleischfabrik die sich unterirdisch befindet, anfangs hat diese riesige Fabrik grusel erzeugt verstärkt durch die recht guten Geräusche und der guten Musik. Doch leider ließ der grusel sehr schnell nach und auch irgendwie die Atmosphäre, es passierte nicht wirklich viel in diesem Spiel und ich fand es auch nicht wirklich spannend.

Die Story fand ich sehr schnell einfach nur langweilig, nach über einer Stunde hatte ich schon keine lust mehr auf dieses Spiel und habe mich auch nicht mehr für die Story interessiert. Die Geschichte handelt eher über persönliches Leid so viel wie ich noch weiß.
Das Gameplay war mir persönlich auch zu einfach, die Rätsel waren viel zu leicht und es wirkte einfach nur wie ein sehr langweiliger Walking-Simulator. Die Level waren sehr schlauchartig und auch die wenigen Gegner waren einfach nur öde und haben mich auch oft einfach nur genervt.

Die Grafik ist OK, es war auch leider überwiegend sehr dunkel. Die Geräusche dagegen waren gut und die Musik war auch sehr gut und hat auch recht gut Stimmung reingebracht. Die Dialoge hingegen gingen mir nach einer Zeit eher auf den Keks und sind nur auf Englisch (was für mich kein Problem gewesen ist).
Die Steuerung ist gut und lässt sich gut mit Maus/Tastatur oder Controller spielen.

Ich fand es persönlich viel zu langweilig aber vielleicht hatte ich auch zu viel erwartet.

Took me almost 12 years to finish but holy christ.

I'm glad I took the time to play through an truly appreciate this for what it is, a poetry through actions. The sheer sound design in this game alone should reel you in, I must say when compared to Dark Descent many things are sorely missed, such as sanity, oil and the inventory systems, but this stripped down story, horror, puzzle experience is still one you MUST go through.

Don't come in expecting a non-linear puzzle game where you can pick up every book and statue like in Dark Descent and you won't be disappointed.

Quite a bit shorter than it's predecessor, grab this baby on sale and enjoy the amazing spectacle of soundtrack and the amazing environments brought to you by what has to be one of the smallest dev teams that Frictional Games has ever committed to one of it's main series. Play through Dark Descent before this as there are some threads and references you may miss. Highly Recommend.

I think it's best for me to look at this game for what it is rather than what it isn't. Is it an Amnesia game? Yes. Is it better than The Dark Descent? No. I understand the gripes people have with this game, many of which are valid criticisms, but I do think this game does set itself as a unique experience.

It's missing a lot of the mechanics that are present in The Dark Descent, the enemies aren't all that challenging or scary, and the game is short (for my first blind playthrough at least). However, the game does shine in it's environments and story. In both regards, they are excellent contrasts than what is present in The Dark Descent.

If you're looking for a different, unique experience and story for the Amnesia games, then I would recommend this game, but you don't need to play it to get the full understanding of the Amnesia universe. Just be sure to get it when it's on sale.

If you do play it, I recommend turning anti-aliasing (or smoothing in-game) and ambient occlusion off. According to some people, having these settings on can drastically lower framerate while providing little improvement to visuals.

I believe that the hate for this game is undeserved, it's a geniunely well made game with great atmosphere and story. Sure, they removed the sanity meter, but did anyone really care about it in the first place? The Developers tried something new, and it's not something this game should be punished for

I share the complaints that people have about this game. I wish it had the mechanics and depth of it's predecessor, which is the significantly better title, but ultimately, I am happy this game was made. It has a story worth telling and goes to darker places than it's predecessor. The environments are also very cool.

You could compile a bunch of copypastas from New Age Bullsh*t Generator and it would end up making more sense than the narrative in this game.

Also loved the random circus music during the credits because I absolutely felt like a clown for playing through this heap.

Oh boy. After playing the first one, this one turned into another chore that I only got to the end because I really wanted to try to give the game a chance.

The worst part about this game is that it copied the story formula from the first game. The main character induces Amensia on himself because he did really bad things and wants to forget, you try to find out what happened, despite playing a hand in events, you consider the other guy who you worked with to be the big bad villain and work towards ending their life so they can't hurt anyone else.

The similarities don't end there even the way the game plays out is similar. Starts off with excellent atmosphere, you are introduced to the monsters and have to avoid them, the game forgets its a horror game and you are dumped with exposition while doing puzzles that are either too easy or have solutions that are illogical, the game suddenly remembers it is a horror game and you are introduced to a much stronger monster, but overall same idea (don't let them see you, hide if you are spotted). A final encounter where you show the villain who's boss (thankfully the lazy multiple endings were not present in this game).

All survival horror elements are gone, which removes any sense of challenge from the game. The game has no replay value at all.

The game has no idea whether the horror is based in science or in magic and does an awkward mesh of the two, but the story is easy to follow outside of that. Sadly, much goes unexplained and given how short this game it makes sense. Even the notes don't help.

2/10 - Play if you like watching movies, or are someone who enjoys visual novels. The story is not too bad, but it's a sorry excuse for a game.

Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1

Multiplayer achievements: No.
Missable achievements: Yes (Most notes)
Grinding Achievements: No.
DLC-Only achievements: No.
Time-gated achievements: No.
RNG-achievements: No.
Does difficulty affect achievements: No.
Unobtainable/glitched achievements: No.


Getting to 100% was fast and quite easy.
I used a guide to make sure I don't miss a note and I recommend you do the same.
The rest of the achievements unlock after every chapter so nothing complicated about them.
If you're into this type of horror game you will probably like it.. personally I'm not... however I can recommend it because when it comes to achievements it respects the player.

This Amnesia is a different type of Nightmare

Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs is a really underrated game. Yes the mechanics have been butchered and it technically cannot be considered an Amnesia game. But the graphics, core concept, atmosphere and especially the story; are like the original Amnesia, if not better. I really enjoyed this game, and thought the story was powerful and maybe even more interesting than the original Amnesia. I am not very steadfast in horror games, so the atmosphere and most enemy encounters were unsettling to say the least. For the first half of the game (the scary part) I was decidedly creeped out. The later part is mostly story although the game does try to catch you off guard with apparitions and some out-of nowhere chases. Piecing together the story from the notes and audio recorders was fun, as the story is the building block of Machine For Pigs.

The game has become gameplay wise, boring. There is no sanity, no resource management and only some items are touchable. But if you are immersed into the game like I was, the plot really does overtake most of that boredom. The game can be confusing at times, but it is absolutely more linear than Dark Descent, which I personally liked a lot, as it cut down on useless restarts and head-scratching.
If you liked Amnesia's story and basic concept, play this game. Easily one of the best plots in any horror game. If you liked Amnesia's survival horror, you will not maximize your enjoyment playing this. Either way, I recommend it wholeheartedly.

its not that bad as people say it is.
gameplay got more limited with less object interactions and there's no inventory usage whatsoever, there are no fun physics puzzles or even clever puzzles, just press buttons and pull levers but it still feels like an Amnesia game, the story is pretty interesting and it is overall pretty scary

Compare to Amnesia the dark descent ,it is garbage
This game is walking horror simulator
Story is poor and boring af
You can barely interact with anything on the map except the things you need to move forward in the game
Puzzles are poor and easy since you can only interact with the items you need
No inventory and infinite light makes the game even more boring
I dont even know if i want to continue playing at this point ,i was planning to finish it in one sitting but it unbelievable boring
Oh did i forget to mention the shit slow AI? oh my bad

I honestly don't know why there is so much backlash about this game. I absolutely loved it and played it from start to finish in one sitting. If you sit there and read every single document/journal entry, the lore is so intriguing and strikingly beautiful. I enjoyed every second of this game (except the random FPS drops I'd get, which kind of ruined immersion. I have a 3070).

All in all, if you play this game and go into it not expecting Amnesia: The Dark Descent, you will love this game. It is more story telling than the first game and less running away from enemies. 10/10!!

Tedious. A Machine for Pigs seems to have removed everything that made A Dark Descent interesting. The writing feels pretentious, the lack of an inventory means puzzles have to be entirely environmental, the environments lack interactables in a way that makes them both much less interesting and charming than The Dark Descent and the puzzles trivial, as you simply have to find whatever one thing in the room that you can interact with. I don't mind the removable of sanity and health, but the combined effect is that the game feels entirely on rails, as there's simply nothing to do but move forward.
On top of just generally being dull, I had the game crash upon entering the second area, forcing to start over entirely, and the game seems to have broken the gamma on my monitor. I initially thought the game just had poor gamma balancing, making everything seemed washed out, but after the crash, the gamma on my monitor increased substantially until I restarted my computer. After restarting the game, it looked like one would expect for a bit, but after I saved and quit right before where I had initially crashed, upon loading, the gamma balance was washed out and terrible again. The technical issues seem bizarre given that it's obviously the same engine as The Dark Descent, which I had no problems with at at all.
If you like horror games and somehow enjoyed Dear Ester, you might enjoy this game, but I found it way too slow with much too little to do.

Haunting atmos-fear like in the first one



What are all these negative reviews for? Being titled with ’Amnesia’ doesn’t make it a bad game despite not following exactly the same pattern as the first one. It’s the expectations people have. Having played the first game, I still liked Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. Frictional Games (or well, Chinese Room that developed it) truly knows how to trigger terror in players.

I understand that the sequel has many ups and downs but so do many games – there’s always something to complain about even in the most polished games. I don’t want to give negative feedback just to give an image of a critical review. For example, the elimination of the inventory, sanity and oil system didn’t really do good and almost made AMFP into one of those boring walking simulations the market is already bursting with. This is where the story comes into picture. And oh boy, what a dark and horrifying tale it is. If there’s something I truly appreciate in this company’s works is how their focus is on making thought-provoking plots to chew on even after completion - there’s more to uncover than just a cold-blooded murder by one psycho.

AMFP might not be as scary and atmospheric as ATDD since it relies heavily on jump scares but it’s worth checking out. Don’t play the game comparing it to the first one, just enjoy it as a separate experience of its own. I think this Amnesia is truly worthwhile.

This is a story driven game and you should not expect a game similar to Amnesia: The Dark Descent or Penumbra. The enemies in this game rarely appear and half of the time they just run past and cannot interact with the player.
The plot itself is a good idea, but the execution is horrible. Most of the horror parts of the game are in the notes you find while progressing through the game. Reading about it but not seeing it happen makes it not at all frightening. The protagonist also adds to this with being slow on the uptake and not caring about anything happening. All he cares about is finding his children and couldn't care about what else is going on around him.
This game would have been much better if it had shown more horror scenes instead of notes and had the protagonist react to said horror scenes.
This is not a horror game but a story-driven adventure game with horror elements.

The problem isn't that it's a bad game. No. It's a good game with a good story. It's that it has the Amnesia game on it. Everything you expected from The Dark Decent isn't in here. Terror Meter, Sanity, Memorial moments, random objects to pick up and play with. Not here. If you like Horror games check it out. If you want Amnesia it's not here.

I started the game and noticed I could carry chairs. Thank god I did, it was the most entertaining part of the experience. I played for four hours and it was so damn boring with nothing but scare-ambience and random earthquakes/bad jump scares, so I just chilled in discord showing my friends my chair army as I dragged private chair, private barstool, sergeant big Betty, and co. through each map (Great displease at losing them at load screens.)

I finally encountered an enemy that didn't run away, and so I threw my chair army at it. I proceeded to block it's attacks with them until I got bored, moved on and finally I reached the second enemy intent on attempting to cage him in chairs. It sadly did not go as planned and the adventure ended there, as I was unity glitched through an iron gate when he charged into the enclosure, softlocking me. The game had no auto save and I had made none as it required exiting the game, so that's that.

Other things of note: The protagonist is apparently a latent pyrokinetic, as he can light church candles with his hands. Also, the pool balls were court marshaled for cowardice.

I wasn't a massive fan of the original Amnesia, even though I am a huge fan of the genre, Unfortunately Machine for Pigs removes most of the actual mechanics from the first game (eg insanity) and it suffers for it. There only seems to be about 3 places where you actually have to avoid monsters which also drains much of the tension.

The graphics are good, and the sound is also up to par. The story is ok, although I did find it more engaging in the last 20 minutes. But it is hard to get away from the fact that this is mostly a walking simulator in the dark.

Those fiends! they glued everything together!

Also made by a different team who thought being spooky was something else and lost the whole feel.

I've never been so saddened by a game suddenly taking major steps back.

Story is ok but gameplay and horror feel quickly fades away where the other kept you fearing what was ahead.

I actually enjoyed this one more than Dark Descent mainly due to its story and music. It is much shorter and made simpler, however, which I understand is why fans of the first game tend to dislike it.

I would say that it is not as good as The Dark Descent, but at the same time it isn't bad. It is just a bit different.

Game looks alright and its story is very interesting, however it feels like something is missing. Probably lack of interactive items in the world and notes in game are not voice acted, you have to read all of them yourself.

Nevertheless still a solid game.

Spent way too long on this game, but was Interesting with a spoopy atmosphere and good sound design. Never felt lost as the game design was very well done and the puzzles were amusingly simple, maybe too simple. Personally I thought the first enemy you encounter was a bit comedic and they weren't very threatening. Last 5 minutes of the story were the best, writing was pretty good.

6/10 - Get it on sale.

this can barely be called an amnesia game. the only thing that I can compare it amnesia with is that you have a latern. The insanity function from the first game where you had to stay in the light to keep your sanity meter up was a core mechanic and it was stressful when you ran out of tinderboxes or didn't have any oil left. the puzzle solving of the first game that relied heavily on the physics engine is completely gone, you are only able to pick up items that are import to progression and it makes the puzzles easier because if you can pick it up you know it has importance. I found the story to much less interesting than the first. the overall experience bored me so much that I quit around 3/4 of the way through the game because I knew it wasn't going to get any better. overall a playable game but not an amnesia game, 5/10.

all the game mechanics that made Amnesia: the dark decent a brilliant game are not implemented here, this game fails to create that mood that puts you on edge; not knowing if you will have enough oil for the lamp, standing in darkness slowly draining your sanity or facing monsters. it is a downgrade in terms of immersion and survival. its an easy game to 100% under 10 hours and story wise it was interesting enough to keep me going till the end. thanks to steam giving this game for free but i would not recomment you buy it.

First of all, thank you Steam and Developers for giving out Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs along with Amnesia: The Dark Descent for free. The last game, The Dark Descent is one of the best survival horror games in modern times, so people had high expectations for this game when it came out. This one is not as good as the first game, it's gameplay mechanics were very watered down from the previous game so it felt faster. There's no custom maps, and is very short.

However the story is really good and metaphoric, so it is worth a one or two time playthrough. The only replay value would be collecting notes and nothing more.

Now I can never see pork the same way I used to again.

Its name is Amnesia, it looks like Amnesia, and there's Frictional Games' logo when you start the game. ...But that's pretty much where similarities with the other two Amnesias end.

First time I started playing Machine for Pigs when it had just been released. I played for 2 hours, quit and didn't touch it for 10 years. Because of the stuff mentioned in the beginning of this post I expected certain things from the game. To have a plot so absorbing it would grab you into its pincer grasp since the beginning and wouldn't let go until you've beaten the game. I expected it to have interesting and at least in some way relatable main character, preferably the rest of them as well. At the very least one would expect the characters to have a minimum amount of depth for you to actually care do they live or not. In MFP, I didn't care. Not in the slightest. Dark story pumped full of shock value isn't the thing that interests me; it's the characters and what's between them, what they do during the story and how they develop.

The areas are large, so there's lots of running, but only a handful of things you can interact with. There's lots of doors, but only a couple of them can be opened. After 84 years of running and trying to find something you can grab, push or move it's like xmas coming early when you find a door you can actually use. And don't even ask me about the lack of inventory. Let's just say I'm not the biggest fan of carrying objects for long(ish) distances without an inventory and not even knowing is it a key item or not.

Multiple times I got stuck for not noticing some lone item laying somewhere, looking exactly the same as countless of others I couldn't even touch. Usually while playing this kind of games I don't have too much trouble with puzzles. However, in MFP, I had to constantly check from a walkthrough video how to proceed, because I had triple checked every nook and corner without finding a solution - mostly because one can't tell key items apart from the rest.

In a horror game I also expect the enemies to be, if not the major part, at least a big part of the horror. These ones? Nah. They're slow and not scary imo, and their aggro range seems to be less than one meter. They seem to be there just for show, and their appearance always follows a pattern: you're in a place so dark you have to use the lamp, and after it starts flickering, you'll soon see an enemy, and before you know it, it has despawned. I wasn't even close to dying, if we don't take into account this one bug that made me fall through the ground and I eventually died from falling out of the map. Don't think I even took damage from anywhere. Then again, you don't have a visual health in this game, so no clue can you even die otherwise than by getting caught.

Since MFP came out after TDD my expectations were, like, REALLY high. However, to the point where I played on my first attempt (outside the church) the game didn't manage to convince me. Only after wondering how can this be so boring I found out FG wasn't the developer but a publisher, and The Chinese Room was actually the developer, I was like oh, well that explains a lot. Years later I remembered it sitting in my library untouched and thought maybe I assumed too much and was too harsh on it, and decided to give it another go.

But nope. It's still just as boring as I remembered it. I managed to play for longer than the last time, but eventually I gave up. Life is short and I have better games to play.

If I had to name one good thing about MFP, it'd be graphics and aesthetics. Music was good too, but that didn't blow my socks off, either. Too bad they alone can't save the whole. You know a game is good when you're both satisfied and sad when it ends, and you want to get back to it even after you've beaten it and/or collected all achievements. At least for me, Machine for Pigs isn't one of those games. I was RELIEVED after deciding to quit and defo not going to play again. I played it only when I had nothing better to do, and wanted to beat it because a friend bought it for me and I didn't want to seem rude. I truly tried to like this game, but gotta admit it just ain't my cup of tea.

TLDR: The grisly story seems to be the main point, whereas character depth and synergy, gameplay and survival are secondary or nonexistent. If you think walking in empty places with passive enemies (that appear once in a blue moon) and collecting journal pages is exciting, this may be just for you. For myself... well... You know that disorder of seeing The Exorcist and after that most of other horror movies can't make an impression on you anymore? Well I seem to have the same thing with horror games as well. For me MFP was just gaining some common knowledge but mainly a waste of time. If you truly want to give it a chance, I'd buy it from a heavy discount if I were you.

Game is amazing as expected. The story is quite nice, include that with the very atmospheric environment. Not much jumpscares or scary moments compared to The Dark Descent, but it still has the core elements of what makes an Amnesia game. Definitely recommend anyone who wants to play a story-driven horror game!

If this game were simply titled 'A Machine For Pigs' - without Amnesia's moniker overshadowing it, it would no doubt be seen as a pretty cookie-cutter yet enjoyable Chinese Room title. That said, it isn't, and it does, so that means people are right to judge this for what it is. This is a Walking Simulator with extremely light puzzles and laughably basic, easy-to-overcome hide-and-seek mechanics. You won't be scared. If you don't like walking simulators, you won't enjoy yourself. That'll turn many people off, and that's okay.

That said - if you are already familiar with The Chinese Room and what their work offers, you may really like this story. It's well-presented for the most part, and the writing is fairly strong compared to a lot of 'horror' experiences out there. I even think this story is better (as in more complex, horrifying and relevant to our world) than the story in Dark Descent, even if that was a better game in every respect. I think people who overlook this completely really rob themselves of a profoundly dark tale, carefully penned by Dan Pinchbeck and beautifully scored by Jessica Curry.

My advice would be that if you have a slight interest in this game, you should play other titles from The Chinese Room first, at the very least Dear Esther. Pretend it's not the second entry in the Amnesia series and just take it for what it is. Only play this for the story, and pay attention to it. Then it might stick around in your mind as it has mine.

Mandus wakes up and his children are gone. He must save them from the machinery he created.
But what machinery is this? And what are It's consequences?

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is in my mind a brilliant horror game, but It's not as scary as Dark Decent and that's all right. It's a game with a good story about a man creating madness Itself.

The AI in this game is pure and simply stupid. But do you know what? I couldn't give a less damn about it. The story itself is enough for a game like this. It has at times some interactive parts but the story is where this game shines the most. The architecture, the horrific environments and the creepy atmosphere creates a really great experience. Yes, i would love some more complex puzzles, but what we got here is enough.

This game really got bad reviews i think because people where looking at the first game in the series and comparing it instead of letting it stand on it own legs and judge it by that. And if you look at it that way this is truly a great game in my opinion.

Don't expect Amnesia: The dark descent. Expect something different. It's a very gory tale, and i love it for it.

A big dissapointment here. Despite being a horror game, the game isn't scary at all. Especially, when the the player is constantly notified by his lamp about all the dangers/scares nearby. This ruins all the tension/atmosphere and makes the gameplay really boring and rather easy to predict. Therefore, I would rather call it a walking similator with a few puzzles, a spooky (not scary) adventure game wrapped in a story, which is concluded with a more/less obvious life-lesson.

The game itself is just ugly. Maybe the models encountered in the enviroment are fine, but the color palette almost threw me into a depression, rather than made spooky impression. Yuck. Music is fine, but there are some problems with locating sound sources on your stereo headphones - you never know which direction do certain sounds come from, which makes certain fragments (with enemies) really annoying.

I finished it, because I was curious, but I won't play it again for sure.

Also, the game has some performance issues, but those can be solved by manually altering the configuration files.

1. Graphics 9/10 (Amnesia has become the most relevant game in the horror and storytelling category. Influenced by the Lovecraft literature , Amnesia is a game of a story about what is unaccountable and unspeakable. Well developed story, setting from the time of the industrial revolution. Everything revolves around the supremacy of machines and pigs, similar to Brecht's literature and Lang's film 'Metropolis '. Well personalized characters that unfold in a dark, perverse and malevolent atmosphere. At the end of the story, demonic architecture can be seen in the dark, similar to Moloch from the movie Metropolis.)

2. Playability 8/10 (Honestly, I thought it was the first part of the game. But I saw the previous Amnesia game and the developers have removed a lot of important story and character elements. The controls are basic. But the inventory has been removed; the signal of sanity and health, removed. [spoiler]Do not you stay mad by the darkness, nor need tinder to recover sanity![/spoiler] The game has the essence of uncertainty and horror, but it seems that the game is only moving forward and going through narrow places. The game is easy because you always wander around.)

3. Music and FX 8/10 (The Amnesia game has been put forward by the soundtrack. Nor will complex music be expected, quite the opposite. An ambient or atmospheric music that generates tension and suspense. With some sounds of cello, double bass and synthesizers I, all with serious tone. Although the music of tension is lost. When an enemy is chasing you, the music is often low or absent.)

4. Duration 7/10 (The game is quite short. Without forgetting that all the time we are in the situation of only moving forward and wandering around. Escape the spectrum of the pig and nothing else.)

Recommendation: 8/10

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs attempts to build on its predecessor Amnesia: The Dark Descent, an iconic survival horror title. However, it fails to meet the brand-name expectations set by the first game.

This game fails to deliver the high-intensity, panic-inducing fear and horror that Amnesia: The Dark Descent so expertly encapsulates. Instead, the mechanics and systems in this game require no resource management: health regenerates (quite rapidly so), you possess a lantern-like light source that can run indefinitely, and your sanity does not degrade. The world is largely non-interactive, with the exception of doors and items required to solve simple puzzles. Enemies do not offer much in terms of fear or the threat of killing you, as you can outrun them easily. Unfortunately, the element of fear depends on cheap flash-frames and similar jumpscares, with limited capacity. Lastly, game progression is extremely linear and thus limiting.

There are redeeming qualities to this game. The plot & story (while gradually unveiled through cumbersome and poorly written notes) are per se interesting and profound, dwelling on subjects of mental illness, morality & ethics, guilt and redemption. In that sense, Amnesia:A Machine for Pigs draws a parallel line to Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The music pieces are also excellent and beautiful, contrary to the poor in-game sound effects and ambient audio. These elements take the player on an interesting ride requiring a relatively short gameplay time.

In a nutshell, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs tells a tale narrated through an interactive video-game linear walkthrough. Sadly, it doesn't work; the story would have better been projected through an actual movie. This sequel also falls victim to impossible standards set by its predecessor, disappointing the player when falling short from meeting them. It would have been fine if the game was not branded with the Amnesia title.

Would only recommend upon massive sale discount.

Well, Amnesia A Machine for Pigs, one of the most controversial horror games of all time. I... Actually like this game... Of course, I agree with a lot of the complaints about this game. It's much more like a walking simulator than the first one, here the interaction with the world got significantly cut (I don't know the reason for that) and the encounters with the monsters are VERY few and easy to escape and avoid, there's not that dinamic you had in the first game that you had to REALLY hide because a monster was in your way. Here, you can just hide and go around it and done, you escaped them! That makes the gameplay far less scarier than it could've been, and most of the chases and frenetic moments are scripted and all you gotta do is run until the game closes the door behind you so you can be saved. I didn't die A SINGLE TIME because of that. That's a choice that me and lots of other players didn't enjoy.

But I guess this was intentional. You see, the previous Chinese Room games (since this was only published by Frictional Games) were Dear Esther and Everybody's Gone to The Rapture are basically like that. Story focused, and you just walk around, solving the mysteries around the world you're in. And that's basically what Amnesia A Machine for Pigs is, a story focused game where you walk around a lot, solve puzzles, find out about the deeper details about the plot and escape from some enemies. And I don't find that bad at all. The story from Amnesia A Machine for Pigs is great, but not as convincing and mainstream like from the first one. It has some really disturbing plot points and a much more thoughtful and philosophyc way of showing you the point of it all. A real psychological horror about morality and the society we live in. In that way, this game is amazing and tells a great, creepy, disturbing, smart and sad story.
That together with the atmosphere, the ambience, the fucking amazing soundtrack, the sound design and (some) of the level design is worth for a hell of an experience, a ride into the unknown bits of the human mind, and what it is capable of doing to survive in a rotten world that is sinking into shit, just like the pigs in the being raised for the slaughter. In that case, I recommend the game. But if you're looking for something like the first Amnesia, stay away from it, you're only going to get frustrated.

This game isnt good.

Lets get the positives out of the way, the voice acting is good, the aesthetics are good.

Alright, with that out of the way, lets get into the bad. Everything you liked about Amnesia the Dark Descent is now gone. Exploration is now gone, youll be walking in a straight line. Puzzles, gone. Inventory, gone. Lamp oil, gone. Sanity meter, hone. Health meter, gone. This game takes literally every mechanic out of Amnesia, theres one (maybe two) enemies and they arent that good. The puzzles arent very good either. This game pretty much has nothing going for it. The story is very poor and it all feels very not great. Lack of motivation, lack of character development, nothing really makes sense and by the end of the game I had just given up reading notes because they were all just absolute nonsense written with really fancy words. Entire run-on sentences for paragraphs and paragraphs that mean absolutely nothing. Its a real shame.

I absolutely do not recommend, at all.

An underrated game. The gameplay is simplier and more of a walking simulator than Amnesia: The Dark Descent. However, the story is so much better and the atmosphere is fantastic. It is easier and less scary than the first but this is not necessarily a flaw, allowing a wider audience to be able to appreciate it and its terrific story.

It's a good game with great story during victorian era (1899) and i like concept design so much. Environment, sound design, dialogues are great. The only bad thing is that gameplay and optimization is really bad. In gameplay the game is worse than Amnesia The Dark Descent. In Machine for Pigs there is no sanity, inventory, oils etc. Let's say it's more like a walking simulator and it's way too less scarier than Amnesia 1.
This game is never worth $20, maybe max $5. It's really short game (about 3 hours).

A Machine for Pigs takes Amnesia's formula and shows us how to screw it up. The idea had huge potential, but it's squandered on what frankly is a cheap and uninvolving game. This was an extremely disappointing experience in terms of gameplay and mechanics, the story and soundtrack however are brilliant, I'd only suggest grabbing this title on sale

Where Amnesia: The Dark Descent used the general atmosphere to build up the spookiness, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs really didn't do so. In fact, this game changed the most important bits which made Amnesia: TDD so scary: your lamp is infinite, so there's no constant anxiety about losing sanity or lighting (new) areas to check for monsters.

The amount of objects the player can somehow interact with are practically nonexistent as there are no more canisters of lamp oil or tinderboxes in the game. If you can interact with something, there's always a reason for it (usually a note), which honestly makes it boring to explore.
The levels/dungeons in Amnesia: TDD were well-thought out and you had to do some thinking to figure out what was needed and where with the help of some notes and such. In Amnesia AMfP, this is really not the case. It's all very straightforward - no revisiting areas, no actual puzzles to speak of, just walking walking walking.

The monsters itself are honestly pretty boring - walking set paths, grunting, and glitching through the player sometimes. There are 3 types of monsters, but most of the encounters are purely visual - no tension whatsoever. You only encounter the nonstandard type of monster once, maybe twice, which also didn't really help making the game scary. Hiding from them is also pretty easy but I've never really felt the need to do so. It's entirely possible to run through the whole game and not die.

The lore in the game feels honestly VERY pretentious. Some vague letters, some conversations on a gramophone, conversations with the entity through the telephone, it's all so very vague and ambiguous. I've tried looking up plot summaries online, which helped a bit, but it all feels so very 'enlightened', so r/iamverysmart.

This game is honestly also too short for it to be worth 20 euros. The 4ish hours I've played were enough for me to fully complete the game, achievements and all, and I don't think I'll ever start this game up again. Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, or, more honestly, Pretentious Walking Simulator with Piggies.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a brilliant game. It was back then, and still is. The game defined a genre.
This one... it looks like Amnesia, and sometimes feels like Amnesia, but in its core, it's not.
It has its moments, but most of the game consists of running around from one place to another pulling levers and valves. And fuses. And then more valves. And more valves and valves and valves.
Even the main character makes a remark about this at one point. I guess even the devs understood that it was too much.
The story isn't bad, but it's very predictable. Without going into spoilers, it doesn't divert much from The Dark Descent.
Monsters are crude and slow, it's easy to outrun most of them. They add nothing new or scary to the game.
It's not a horrible game. Again, it has its moments, but it's not an Amnesia game.

I played it once many years ago and I despised it for not being up to standards with the original Amnesia: No inventory, very few encounters with dumb enemies, the lantern has infinite oil and there's no need to avoid the darkness or staring at the pigmen. Still, even back then I appreciated the story they were telling, and both the ambientation and the soundtrack are very effective at conveying the mood.
Now, seven years later, I can safely say that my feelings are the exact same. I'm still disappointed of how better it could be and how short it is but I again found myself fully immersed in the world Chinese Room built.

I can't recommend it as an Amnesia game but I certainly can as a more entertaining, very absorbing walking simulator.

Spooky enough I guess. Definitely worse that The Dark Decent in pretty much every way, but still worth it.

Story isn't as engaging as The Dark Descent, but it still has the same spirit. Personally, I didn't really like the steampunk aesthetic, or the pig-monsters, but I can acknowledge that the developers made good use of them, even if they started to feel a bit stale towards the end. Overall the game is still very good, not as amazing as The Dark Descent, but it didn't need to be. This game is good enough for our attention.

Minecraft scares me more than Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, buuuut its story is fantastic! The world is beautifully constructed and the game's ambiance is top notch, it may not be an horror game like the original Amnesia, but i'm in love with it! Buy it if it's on sale, but have in mind that you'll play an adventure-thriller game, not an horror one.

They tried to turn Amnesia into a walking simulator.

What they gained in simplicity was lost in quality.

A considerable amount of Frictional Games fans don't like this game, but I liked Dear Esther and it might not surprise you that I enjoyed A Machine for Pigs as well. Now, it's instantly clear this game is a lot different from what we are used to, but even if this is more of a walking simulator than its predecessor or the Penumbra series, it's still certainly a fine game for its price. I'd probably rather play Dear Esther though.

Not scary at all, unless you have Swinophobia.

In which case, take salvia and lock yourself in a small room along with some pigs and a jigsaw puzzle.

3/10, only play if you think The Dark Descent was fine, but needed more pigs.

It's okay. Typical crashes which set back progress, I get this in all Frictional games. Constant FPS drops tied to some sort of lagging, tried the fixes suggested on Frictional's forum but they didn't work. Same with the screen displaying out-of-bounds over the max (built in) resolution, however this is an easy fix by passing scaling to the game.

I like the game-play and atmosphere, but the flickering light mechanic was picked up right away, so not even the enemies catch me off guard. Hardly anything to interact with, and the puzzles are a little simple. Graphics are quite nice to look at compared to their older titles, I put them somewhere between PBPE and Soma.

This game is nowhere near the level 'The Dark Descent' was on, since sanity is gone, oil and tinderboxes, gone. They've basically made it into a walking simulator where you can occasionally hold things.

I hope Amnesia Rebirth is better than this one, Frictional. I still recommend this one though, at a lower price. It's a shame as the atmosphere in this title is brilliant.

This game may as well be on rails, it was the most linear game in history. You are guided though the entire game with walls on ether side of you with only one direction to go. The enemies in the game are worthless and do not pose a treat at all. The story is lame to say the least. It's a shame because the first Amneisa game is so good. The only thing this game shares with it's predecessor is it's name. Everything is stripped away, no more inventory, no sanity meter, no more puzzles that actually require brain power, all that is required of you is to flip a switch here and there. They even took away lamp oil management, and instead give you unlimited oil in case the game wasn't already easy enough. This game is a hard pass, even for the $2 I spent on it.

I can't recommend this game, it's underwhelming even without comparing it to the dark descent. The game is extremely linear and gets boring fast. Just move from point A to B. The environments are designed nicely but there is no sense of threat, lacking physiological horror, not enough freedom and no player sanity. It really ruined the immersion. What's worse is they got rid of the inventory so you get unlimited lantern lighting. It's also lacking massively in impressive mechanics. Slight spoiler but there was absolutely no threat until after playing for an hour and a half. Monster encounters are VERY rare and they aren't scary or challenging at all. The story is also poorly told as the notes you find have this shitty font you can't even read and there's no voice acting for it. I get the theme they were going for but they didn't pull it off right. Just play the dark descent and avoid this one. I hope frictional games develop their own games from now on because letting others develop an amnesia title doesn't work out at all.

One of the most critically underrated horror games of the decade. No, it wasn't a true sequel to Amnesia: A Dark Decent. It was it's own game it it's own right, and it managed to make an astonishingly complex and terrifying game. The game is short, but atmospheric and frankly amazing.

A good game to get on a sale.
There are some interesting moments and the story is overall very well done. However, gameplay leaves a lot to be desired as there are barely any mechanics and puzzles are brain dead simple. Monsters are also not very scary at all, but the locations are interesting. It also only took me 2.8 hours to beat which is way shorter than I thought it would be. I wasn't rushing either, just playing the game and that's all it took to beat it. Overall, I'd give it a 6/10. It's a hard one to rate as the story is really cool, but the gameplay is just not exciting and it feels like the game could have been so much more.

A really boring sequel. Aesthetic remains the same, but the gameplay is less challenging. There is almost nothing to do really aside from follow the main path which makes it one of the most by-the-books linear experiences I've had. 4/10

I do not recommend this game. It is not terrible, but I would recommend moving towards other horror games that are simply better.
My problems with the game are:
- Controls clunky and unresponsive
- Story overall boring and mostly told through text pieces
- Not much horror in general (compared to predeccessor less scary settings and less scary monsters)
- Graphics washed out and very foggy
There's not much positive to say about this game. The music adds very well to the atmosphere, the idea of the story is good. And going through the maps with the location plan on the walls is cool.
However, I cannot recommend the game. There are simply much better horror games. Depending on your preference, you could check out Alan Wake (story), Evil Within/RE 2 + 7 (action), Alien Isolation/Outlast (stealth). Outlast is probably the most comparable since you mostly hide from enemies.
