I really enjoyed this game even more than the Dark Descent, the setting, the monsters, the music, pretty much everything about it.
I was kind of sad that there weren't more encounters with the Pigmen, and I would have liked to have played through more areas of the Machine (The giant meat grinder that is pictured on the maps in the game for one thing.) there was a lot of potential for something incredibly gruesome and vile if they had shown us the areas where the real dirtywork was being done, but oh well.
I was also sad that neither of the encounters from the trailers made it in, I wouldn't have minded but the trailers made it seem much more in depth like the first game, with them breaking through doors, and you having to hide and whatnot whereas in the actual game, you just have to run past any Pigs you meet.
But I wasn't as disappointed as most people seem to be since I was expecting most of what we got, and didn't hype myself up too much, and for me the game is a solid 9/10
I see a lot of people acting pretty selfish and snobbish with their opinions on the game though, for example somebody was ranting in other topic and at the end they said.
"Don't like what I'm saying?
Too bad, it's what I think and you can't change my mind.
Make Amnesia, not Dear Esther with angry pigs."
I would like to remind this type of person that their opinion is not absolute, and they will not be changing my mind or anybody else who is able to appreciate this game either, and not only that it is a savage insult to all the people who put so much time, and work into this game. I'm honestly more disappointed by the "fanbase" than the actual game, I expected better, I'm not even going to bother reading through all the reviews in this topic since I'm sure it's just going to be more of the same, and I'm pretty tired of it already, I'm growing quite weary of all the hatred, and the lack of any appreciation for the game.
In the end it all comes down to this, criticism should include both positives and negatives, but for most of the "fanbase" it seems to all be negative, and makes me ashamed to have anything to do with these people.
