    Great game, the voice of the infection sounds familiar to me haha. The game mechanics are well made, and the game assets are well used by its game design.

    Arguably the best installation in the series, flawlessly so. Challenging puzzles but not to an unreasonable extent, encounters with the infected are fun, story-wise it's pretty good too. Nothing bad to say about it.

    I really tried to get into this game, because I love the Amnesia games. Even though it's clunky, you can tell these developers have a good idea. Some solid location design, creepy atmosphere and an absolutely awesome final few lines. So why the thumbs down? It's hard to enjoy that atmosphere with the constant attempts at quirky humor. There is not one, but two, 'silly' characters, that constantly kill the tension…
