While not as good as the original, the game's story is amazing and worth it.
The story hits really hard, specially today.

Better story, worse game.

Like The Chinese Room's other game Dear Esther, this game is a walking simulator. A very British and pretentious one at that. Virtually all notable features of the first Amnesia are absent here, like the sanity meter and lantern depletion. All that remains is the unique door opening and some very underutilized physics (I swear you can only pick up chairs and nothing else). It may sound like I hate this game but I don't! It story lowkey rules, although too many crucial aspects are hidden behind collectible notes. In many ways I think this is my largest criticism, and probably what turned most off, as the story without them is pretty barebones. Game is also poorly optimized, and janky at times. But all in all still totally worth your time.

I might even prefer it over the first one, but it is definitely the worst game

7/10

Great spooky atmosphere, writing, and sound design.
