Rating:6.5
Cracks under its own weight of making you fear nothing but fear itself.
Amnesia is one of the scariest games ever. Supposedly, at least. Testimonials of people who couldn't play further than fifteen minutes out of angst, videos of people screaming fearfully at their monitors, and the reco... Read Full Review

This game changed the way I thought about how far horror can go.
I don't know what to say. This is probably the scariest game that I have ever had the pleasure to play. It was the fact that it was about sanity that made the game so weird and spooky. Yet, the game was a great storytell... Read Full Review

Amnesia takes from other great horror games to create a fresh experience of powerlessness and dread.
