Games/Amnesia The Dark Descent/Reviews
From Giant Bomb Video Game Wiki
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
A first-person survival horror game with advanced physics-based puzzles from Frictional Games, the creators of the Penumbra series. Its dynamic of light and darkness and focus on avoidance of enemies rather than combat have been highly influential in recent horror games.
An Immortal Classic
Oh Amensia, you beautiful monster you... Yeah, I realize I'm 4 years late to the party, but with 2015 being flooded with Amnesia and Outlast-Esque upcoming horror games, I realized that, as an avid ho… Read more
There's no terror if there's no penalty for failure
Most video games are structured in such a way that the player character's life is in danger. You can die by falling from a platform, or getting gunned down by your enemies, or being eaten by monsters.… Read more
Extremely immersive and scary
This is a scary game, and not in the cheap monster-in-the-closet kind of way although there is the occasional moment like that. Amnesia's scares don't come from just it's grotesque monster design, it'… Read more
An excellent example of how horror isn't always blood n' guts.
The Short Pros - Genuine Lovecraftian horror - No combat; you run or you die - "Insanity" mechanic is fantastic and only adds to the horror - Slow burn of creepiness that reminds me of the classic Sil… Read more
This game is scary
This game does one thing and it does it very well, scares the shit out of the player. As an indie game, the graphics aren't great but are acceptable, but the sound design is absolutely brilliant and h… Read more
Amnesia does many things right.
I've grown accustomed to indie games quite swiftly, and learned to love them too. I now fully support new developers trying to impress consumers armed with sometimes nothing more than low budget and a… Read more
Things that go bump in the night.
I eagerly seek out anything based on H.P. Lovecraft's books. Amnesia has found a great balance between keeping the hair on he back of you standing on end and throwing fairly easy yet stimulating puzzl… Read more
Though it's held back by its brevity, Amnesia is a must-play
Amnesia: The Dark descent is one of the scariest games ever made. While that might be a bold statement, it couldn't be a more apt way to sum up this spook fest, courtesy of the Swedish, independent st… Read more

Realms of the Haunting on Steroids
Maybe my heading is too obscure for most to catch it, but if you played R.O.T.H. you'd understand. That aside, this game is an absolute gem. Lets get the obvious out of the way first. Yes, the graphic… Read more
OH MY GOD! Wait the games over?
What a great idea for a game. An intensely suspenseful puzzle game which leaves you sitting on the edge of your seat at all times. There are many points in this game where I found myself screaming lik… Read more
Get used to that warm feeling on your seat
Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a thrilling and terrifying experience from the beginning to the end. Problems do exist: the sanity mechanic turns out to be more of a chore than an enhancement to the expe… Read more
A shining ascent
Ever been scared by video game? And I don’t mean the generic Hollywood style “jump scare” kinda thing here; I’m talkin’ REAL terror. The terror of what could lurk around every corner, the terror of kn… Read more
A Lovecraftian scarefest
Despite their graphical restrictions and penchant for awful voice acting, the survival horror games of the ’90s and early 2000s always managed to frighten with effective use of the protagonist’s vulne… Read more
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a PC game in which you descent into the far reaches an ancient mansion in Prussia. You start off the game apparently having taken something that erases your memory. When y… Read more
Finally A Decent Horror Game!
Let's face it: Aside from the shock value, most horror games and movies have become relatively predictable and, as a result, bland and boring. The F.E.A.R series capitalized on this by taking all the… Read more
The ultimate interactive horror experience!
This little independent gem with somewhat shoddy graphics is, in my humble opinion, the game of the year. It doesn’t matter one bit that Amnesia’s budget is a drop in the ocean compared to this year’s… Read more
Scary but amazing
I picked up this game just based on videos and the quick look but I basically knew the idea: a scary as shit game with no weapons monsters and no fighting back. Even with that knowledge I could not te… Read more

A Very Novel Game
It's an odd thing to call a game as unsettling as Amnesia: The Dark Descent “refreshing”, but for a person whose idea of horror in video games was Doom 3 and Condemned, Amnesia came at me with a style… Read more

Very Well Made Horror Game
Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a very strong entry in the first person horror genre from developer Frictional Games , the same studio that produced the very strong Penumbra series of games. Much like it… Read more
This might just be the creepiest game ever made.
You wake up in a castle with a note you have written yourself. You cannot remember who or where you are, but your former self is not surprised. The note tells you that you have purposefully forgotten… Read more
Small Game, Big Scares
I love when games get me spooked, and this rather dark little game was a near perfect recipe for suspense and jumpiness. It's rare that a title comes along and provides players with such a rich atmosp… Read more
