More pigs
Incredible atmosphere and good story
Theres a pig stuck in my blender this game helped me fish him out 10/10
Doesn't have the mechanical freedom of the original, but it kept my ADHD ass engaged and excited until it was complete; it's a solid choice for a basic, linear horror game
One of the best horror games in past decade. Way better than Outlast or Fnaf
L'histoire n'est peut être pas aussi bonne que celle de "The dark descent" mais franchement rien que pour l'ambiance, ça vaut le coup. Puis les monstres sont assez originaux.
Amnesia a machine for pigs is a ok game is it better than Dark descent........no Positives Really good level designs and atmosphere The Sound design was great Pig monsters are well designed and the story is decent..........and sadly thats where the positives end While i did say the pig monsters look cool they are barely even used other than the few times you are chased by them which i am pretty sure i could count the amount of times i was chased by them or had to hide from them on one hand which is just very disappointing and a majority of the time the pigs are just used as a visual or audio scare and then they leave. Sanity and Health GONE. (you regenerate your health no more laudanam) Inventory GONE. The ability to grab and throw alot of miscellaneous items BUTCHERED (you can only pick up a handful of items) Also for some reason this game crashed alot for me especially when i was trying to leave londons streets. Ultimatly im just mixed id say if you want to play this game wait for a sale as its a pretty short game
"An intellectual, creative writer meets a world-class, classically trained musician, resulting in another timeless and unforgettable storytelling masterpiece from The Chinese Room." 9.3/10 TD A Machine For Pigs is a masterfully written intellectual story brimming with deep and highly creative metaphorical literature, accompanied by a hauntingly dark yet beautifully crafted soundtrack which breathes life into all elements of the project, creating an atmospheric experience like no other. It's not the Amnesia follow-up fans expected, but it leaves its mark deep in the franchise emblem for different reasons from its counterparts. Where the original game shows its weaknesses, A Machine for Pigs shows its strengths; where the original game shows its strengths, A Machine for Pigs shows its weaknesses. Accept the divisiveness this project injected into the franchise's library, or pick your poison.
So... where do I start? Beautiful, but I have mixed feelings I can recommend this for reasons far from the usual criteria First this is NOT a game, whereas the title mentions game is more like an interactive novel and even interactive can be a little far off, but for the sake of simplicity I'll continue to call it a "game" The game has a beautiful artistic design, every single area feels like it could be real, that's what I loved about it, not like an intrinsic and weird maze that doesn't make sense like in most horror games The story it's incredible but as I said this "game" is more like a novel, and as such, you only get to go in certain directions, it would have been great if the game allowed for more pathing and allowing you to learn a few more details which leads to some problems It's a little ambiguous, very little is touched about certain events that lead to the whole development of the story, and it could be further expanded as a DLC, but this on itself feels like one from Dark Descent UNBELIEVABLY SHORT, just as I mentioned, the game feels like it's very VERY short, for the record I'm a working adult that as of now I have on weekdays 1 to 2 hours to play and one of those I use it to do chores so for the average player it would feel like a snack and for the hardcore ones not even an entree. I do recommend this game if, like myself, have very little time to play at certain seasons and want to have a little interactive novel or something to kill time between shifts, it does make sense why a lot of people didn't like this game, it would be easily seen as a DLC or even a Mod from the Workshop for Amnesia Dark Descent, but If you like to appreciate little love projects then this game is just for you
A lot better than I expected it to be based on how much hate it's gotten. It's strengths are definitely it's story, music, and atmosphere. Doesn't do a whole lot in terms of gameplay and some lag/crashing. Don't go into it with TDD on your brain, different games but similar vibes and there are very few mentions of Brennenberg/Alexander.
