April 2025
I have so many questions after playing this game: Why do the enemies (the piggies) look like they escaped straight from a rejected episode of Looney Tunes? Was I supposed to be scared? And what is the point of having multiple doors when only one door works? Also, why did the devs think cranking up the blurry vision effect to maximum vertigo would make the game more immersive? After finishing the game, I feel like I just got off a rollercoaster. If I had to describe this game from my perspective, I’d say: imagine some people whining that Amnesia: The Dark Descent was too stressful and too hard, and then the devs came along and gave birth to this game just to lick those people's balls. Additionally, it feels like this game was made under the assumption that players are rocking, at most, 20 IQ points.

⭐ Rating: 6.5/10 ⭐ Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs takes a different approach from The Dark Descent, shifting away from complex gameplay mechanics in favor of a more narrative-driven experience. Developed by The Chinese Room, the game leans heavily on storytelling, atmosphere, and psychological horror rather than resource management and survival elements. Pros: ✅ Strong atmosphere – The game excels in environmental storytelling, with eerie sound design and disturbing visuals that create an unsettling mood. ✅ Compelling narrative – If you enjoy deep, philosophical horror with themes of industrialization and human corruption, the story will likely intrigue you. ✅ No resource management – No sanity meter or inventory means a more streamlined experience, which some players may appreciate. Cons: ❌ Less interactivity – Unlike The Dark Descent, there’s no real inventory system, and puzzles are minimal, making gameplay feel simplified. ❌ Short playtime – Can be completed in around 4-5 hours, making it feel more like a long interactive horror story rather than a full-fledged survival horror game. ❌ Less scary – While still disturbing, it lacks the same level of terror and tension that The Dark Descent had, due to the removal of sanity effects and fewer monster encounters. Final Verdict: If you go in expecting another Amnesia: The Dark Descent, you might be disappointed. However, if you’re a fan of atmospheric horror and enjoy games like Dear Esther or SOMA, you’ll likely appreciate its narrative and unsettling world. Worth playing for the story and atmosphere, but don’t expect the same level of fear and challenge as its predecessor. 💀 Recommended? Yes, but only if you enjoy story-driven horror.

The game lost me until Mandus turned to the camera and said, "Huh... appears to be like a machine... A Machine for Pigs..." That and his line "What is this? Some kind of Amnesia??" really sealed the deal for me. This is the best game I have ever played.

This game is such a good balance of basic game mechanics, and storytelling. I love how this was very story oriented to the point where everything you interact with tells you something about it. At parts it was terrifying, at others it was intense but bearable. I recommend this for anyone who is really looking for a story rich game that is mentally traumatising whilst fun to play! As someone who has completed the game 100% It is enjoyable through and through!

Now I'm scared of pork. The game throws me into a dark, eerie world where monstrous, mechanical pigs hunt me down with their glowing eyes and creepy grunts. Every time one of those twisted, mechanical swine came at me, my heart raced and my palms sweated. Thanks to Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, pork isn't just dinner—it's a terrifying reminder of my nightmarish encounters. I can't even look at a piece of bacon without shuddering. 돼지돼지야.
