It's hard to play this and not think the best of it on pretty much every front for what it wants to achieve by the end. Horror without player intervention has never really worked for me but the designs and world were enough to grip me. Most faults are proped up by something immediately more interesting from the eerie soundtrack and deep water visuals to the script and story that plays out as you progress. I had some minor issues but they're really minor. I'm really not sure what changed with Frictional Games going into this and leaving it but this is the best they've done. While the Amnesia series generally has more interactivity and gameplay the story and writing in the more recent entries has significantly less legs than Soma's closed loop story (though I think it could go beyond this great game.)
