Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs.Platforms: PC (Windows, Mac, Linux).Release Date: 10 September 2013.Trailer:The year is 1899. Wealthy industrialist Oswald Mandus has returned home from a disastrous expedition to Mexico, which has ended in tragedy. Wracked by fever, haunted by dreams of a dark machine, he recovers consciousness in his own bed, with no idea of how much time has passed since his last memory. As he struggles to his feet, somewhere beneath him, an engine splutters, coughs, roars into lifeFrom the creators of Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Dear Esther comes a new first-person horror game that will drag you to the depths of greed, power and madness.
It will bury its snout into your ribs and it will eat your heart. Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is survival–horror at its most unsettling; helpless and alone, no weapons to soothe your nerves, and the dim light of your lantern to offer any comfort.Eurogamer - 7/10.Author: Quintin SmithA Machine for Pigs performs the not inconsequential achievement of maintaining the soul of Amnesia. This is still a game that understands that real horror comes from disempowerment, and from the unseen, unknown and unexplained.
A game that manages to breed powerful terror from winding corridors and empty rooms, never once relying on monster closets and only rarely on jump scares. And on the handful of occasions that A Machine for Pigs does try something a bit different, it's as amazing as anything in the first game.And no, it's not quite as long as The Dark Descent, but that also means that it doesn't run out of steam in the same way. If you're an Amnesia fan, A Machine for Pigs will absolutely keep you fed. There's meat here, and it's rich, and tender. Just don't think too hard about where it came from, eh?Rock, Paper, Shotgun - no score.Author: Jim RossignolI don’t know if A Machine For Pigs is the scariest game that we’ll see this year, and I haven’t played Outlast, which made precisely that claim. What I do know is that – my listed reservations aside – this is a marvellous, revolting, disturbing sequel to Dark Descent. I am certain that it will be loved and feared.
It coils atmosphere around the player, and the central metaphor of the pigs is one that you will be repulsed to explore. Its aim was to create horror. And from the moment I exited the mansion and began to find my way into the dark interior of the game, I knew they’d succeeded.Joystiq - 3.5/5.Author: Richard MitchellThat's not to say that A Machine for Pigs doesn't have a few mentally taxing tricks of its own. The architecture of the environment, for example, may suddenly shift when you aren't looking. You may discover that a doorway you just walked through has disappeared. You may find a wall where thirty seconds ago there was a hallway – and a new hallway where there was a wall.
It's a subtle device, and the first time I experienced it, I wasn't sure whether it had happened at all. It's creepy and perfect for a game about madness.But a little creepiness is nothing compared to the fear of quavering in the dark with only one tinderbox and a few drops of oil left in your lamp, and that's likely to be a sticking point for many Amnesia fans. Without these elements, A Machine for Pigs leans entirely on its environment and story, which are essentially the same thing: the machine and its twisted workings.
Mandus' journey into its clockwork belly is certainly a grisly one, punctuated by moments of disquieting and hideous awe. This is when the game is at its best, when it pulls back and simply allows you to witness the horror of its world, the darkest threshold of a man's heart.That's enough to make Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs worth playing, so long as you can accept that it won't make you squeal.Polygon - 8/10.Author: Philip KollarAmnesia: A Machine for Pigs doesn't provide the pure scares of its predecessor. Its systems are deeply simplified, its sense of dread less all-encompassing.

But it still leaves a lasting impression. The horror it filled me with was more subtle and insidious, and it's not going to be out of my system for many days to come.GameSpot - 8/10.Author: Brett ToddYou probably shouldn't play the game if you've had a bad day. This is a captivating adventure, but it's also a very dark and disturbing one that touches on depressing real-world themes and doles out psychological horror along with monsters and gore.
Still, this gives the game added depth and a literary weight that elevates it well above much of the horror genre in general, especially in a game that arrives without much pretension and with a plot device about murderous pig-men.Computer and Video Games - 8/10.Author: Andy KellyThanks to some robust physics, interacting with the world feels nicely intuitive. To open a door, hold the left mouse button to grab the handle, then pull back or push forward. To turn a valve, left click and rotate it. You can slide out desk drawers to find journal pages, click lights on, pull levers, and push boxes out of the way. This control system is the basis for a few simple physics puzzles, but nothing will stump you for more than a few minutes.Far from a simple ghost story, expect forum threads dedicated to discussing and unraveling the plot and enigmatic ending. There are hints of Clive Barker and H.P.
Lovecraft in the script, and some memorable moments that will stick in your mind long after the credits roll. Quality voice acting and a beautiful, haunting score complete the package.Annoyingly, from the perspective of writing a review at least, the best parts of A Machine for Pigs are the parts we can't talk about. The reveals, the thing and its origins, what lies in the depths of the factory. At four hours it isn't particularly long, but the length is perfect for the story it tells - and at just over £10, it's very reasonably priced.Kotaku - no score.Author: Kirk HamiltonSo here we have a horror game that's more cerebral than it is shocking, but no less enjoyable for it. It's an elaborate horrorbox that has clearly been constructed with an uncommon degree of care and imagination, and while it may be unwieldy at times, the story of Oswald Mandus has remained lodged in my brain long after the startles and the scares have faded away. The lack of inventory is fine; honestly, I felt the puzzles really killed the momentum of The Dark Descent by constantly interrupting the horror with a bunch of 'what the fuck am I supposed to be doing here?'
, especially since the monsters weren't randomized so you quickly realized there was no danger while you just walked back and forth.Same thing with sanity - it was a good idea, and it worked alright in that game, but honestly more often than not I just found it frustrating. The game was scary enough, removing my ability to see and control my character with any real precision just made it frustrating.The lack of lamp oil and tinderboxes would have killed the tension and horror in TDD, but there's more than one way to skin a cat. Since Amnesia was entirely about forcing you to stay in the dark, limited light was a requirement to making the game work; this seems like they are more focused on the psychological horror of the situation and the world, and thus are less concerned about making you scared of your moment to moment to survival. To put it a different way, TDD was about generating terror in the player; A Machine for Pigs is about generating horror. Nothing wrong with either, just different goals.
I feel that had The Dark Descent included patrolling enemies, and enemies in more areas, instead of the simple scripted encounters that only last as long as it takes you to hide once, it would have been much scarier. When playing Outlast, even though the enemies were easy to evade, the fact that I had to watch out for them while I was running back and forth, looking everywhere for puzzle elements, made the game much more stressful.Even if the environment is well crafted and horrifying, unless there is some exploring/searching that has to be done, you essentially have a haunted house ride. If you just have to get past an enemy and keep walking forward, it's a fairly simple affair. But having to sneak past them to get something, and then sneak back to use it, is very stressful.

To me, anyway. Even if the environment is well crafted and horrifying, unless there is some exploring/searching that has to be done, you essentially have a haunted house ride.
If you just have to get past an enemy and keep walking forward, it's a fairly simple affair. But having to sneak past them to get something, and then sneak back to use it, is very stressful. To me, anyway.This is fair, but I feel like there has to be a better way of doing it than what TDD did. Too often I just stood there staring at the puzzle and trying random things, with no chance of being attacked, wondering why I had to do this to keep playing. I think you have a good point that even a simple distraction works for keeping the player interested, and I think that would have been a better choice.
The areas in Amnesia that required you to only find one or two things and use them in a fairly obvious way worked the best, because then you could still devote mental energy to worrying about the monsters.I feel that had The Dark Descent included patrolling enemies, and enemies in more areas, instead of the simple scripted encounters that only last as long as it takes you to hide once, it would have been much scarier.I felt like this many times toward the end of TDD, specifically when I was hiding behind a small wall waiting for the monster to walk away and end the sequence. I'm certainly not hating on Frictional, they put together a super solid horror experience and nothing is perfect, but The Dark Descent really was an exceptional half of a game that went on too long.
I thought the puzzle interruptions were a great choice. Nonstop horror is just stressful for a while, and then routine. You inevitably lose a few times, and after you've lost a few times, it no longer has much impact on you.
Breaking it up with safe havens with a bit of puzzling to solve lets you take a breather before you're plunged back into a horror section.It's a lot like jumping into a pool. It's cold and shocking at first, but then you just get accustomed to it. Instead of doing that, Amnesia forces you to get out of the pool and dry off before you're tossed back into it, over and over again.
A large portion of the game, like over 90% of it was scripted with the encounters. All the major chase scenes were scripted along with the first 1/2 of the game was heavily scripted with the monster encounters. There were only a few select areas that the monster could randomly spawn in waiting for you-honestly only remember the prison level, one of the later castle areas, and the second monster in the fog where you had to follow the pipes. I don't think the AI was up to it, and the way they did it make it made it 300% easier to play test and develop for.
