Best Puzzle-Horror.
First of all, you should play this game as they tell you; adjust the gamma, grab a headset make it loud, turn off the lights and wait for nightfall => quickly start playing. I finished it in 2 nights, when dawn comes go ... Read Full Review

The game that makes The Exorcist (with the deleted scenes) rated PG-13 ...
Not that I was a fan of The Exorcist myself, but it is a very scary movie with even scarier after-effects (A friend of mine started praying after he watched this movie). Anyhow, I am an established horror fan ever since ... Read Full Review

And I thought Penumbra was scary...
If you have played the Penumbra games, you will know what to expect here. Swedish Developer Frictional Games may not be the largest one around, but it certainly is one of the most ambitious and proves why most 'biggy' de... Read Full Review

The best--no, the ONLY good horror game since Silent Hill 2.
The first time I played Amnesia I lost interest less than an hour into it because nothing was really happening. Months later, after seeing people are still talking about this game, I thought okay I'll give it one last go... Read Full Review

One of the most (and only) truly horrifying games ever made, Amnesia taps into the science behind terror.
When was the last time you were truly frightened? It would be difficult to say for many, as true fear is difficult to create. But with the natural disasters dominating current events in the news, I think at least some of... Read Full Review

Amnesia is not your everyday typical horror game which brings about fear by shock , by the element of surprise , by the gruesome entities you find in other horrors. No , it is not that , true fear is incurred through our... Read Full Review

Amnesia is not a game you play to win; it is a game to win by staying alive.
Amnesia is not a game you play to win; it is a game to win to stay alive. The tutorial screen says this is the attitude with which you should approach this game. It's not wrong. The horror genre of gaming is rather n... Read Full Review

Amnesia creates unforgettable moments of organic, genuine terror, and has the power to immerse and terrify anybody.
A truth that developers of horror video games have seemed to largely ignore is that vulnerability creates tension. Inducing total vulnerability on the player's character is something that some games will maybe touch on f... Read Full Review

Incredibly immersive, with some flaws.
This may be the most terrifying game on the market today. Everything - from the music, to the ambience, to the voices, lighting, and more - immerses you in shoes of the protagonist. The story and narration aren't incredi... Read Full Review

The little Indie game that could (reduce grown men to grovelling, fear-stricken little girls). A horror game done right.
I'm not going to lie: I had never played any games under the horror genre that actually scared me. For some reason, every recent game that tries to fall under the Scary category usually ends up failing in the Scares depa... Read Full Review
