As my first entry into the Amnesia series I'm aware this direction is completely different and may not be for fans of the series since it has combat and has a more Resident Evil design. But I loved it for the 5 hours I put in it. Not as scary as I'd hoped this was lost within the first hour but it kept tension up most of the time. It wasn't too challenging for me on Normal I fairly quickly had an abundance of resources which felt good. Since there's no penalty on the players part for being in the dark (no mental health stuff) It felt infinitely more rewarding for me to smartly play in the dark at most if not all times, avoiding using everything. While this meant I only used some of the systems at play here I didn't feel I was missing out so combat was limited until the final act for me, a wise choice when every ammunition box is limited to one bullet I feel. I hoped for more and a better/longer structure into the final act but It held me completely for 5 hours. It's put Amnesia on the map for me and I'll be trying out more of Frictional games work because of this!
