It's just that great. True horror relies on the suspense - actually hearing that scream will be as scary as it is a relief. The developers talked about this a lot in their goal to make a true horror game - not just jump scare terror! I agree though that the whole concept of slaughter seems more scary than pretty much anything in Amnesia except for the torture room scenes and the wine cellar. | ||

* No weapons, just running and hiding. * First-person shit-your-own-pants feast. * Puzzle solving with a ton of tension constantly * Pick up notes etc to learn about the lore I feel the two games complement each other pretty well, Amnesia is very mystical with this constant feeling of some dark god wanting to kill you, while Outlast is borderline realistic making it quite chilling since it's a bit easier to immerse. Surprised there was no topic about it on TL since there are so many Amnesia fans here, so I thought I'd make sure you at least know about it. As for Machine for Pigs, I was a bit worried when I heard Northernlions first impression video. Apparently he considered the puzzle elements of Dark Decent too difficult and said Machine for Pigs was superior because it was more linear and simple, puzzle-wise. From reading other reviews, it seems he just didn't get far enough to run into real puzzles, hopefully. I also heard there's no insane-meter anymore... does that mean it's perfectly safe to stay in the dark in machine for pigs, or is it just that the meter isn't shown? | ||

In my opinion Outlast is not worth the time or money. The game is more disturbing then it is scary. That is all I can say without spoiling anything. | ||

That's sort of unexpected... you're of course entitled to your opinion even if you won't argue for it, but since rock, paper, shotgun said "Outlast is not an experiment in how games can be scary, it’s an exemplification." and all the rest from metacritic on top of that, one has to assume that you're in a pretty small minority. Not saying that the game isn't disturbing, especially some parts... but then again, so is Amnesia Dark Decent. For example, when you throw body parts of random corpses into water to make a monster move away from you. | ||

Also, there is no point in me arguing about a game without talking about the game in specifics because you know people might want to play it. I also don't care for game reviews. It is my fault for being hyped about this game and what I got was disappointment. | ||

It is my fault for being hyped about this game and what I got was disappointment. I'm just saying, I come into the topic and recommend a game I know most people who like Amnesia will enjoy, and I'm hoping a lot of people try it out. You answering that it's a waste of time and money certainly lowers the chance that people here try it, which is unfortunate, especially if you won't really reason about why so they can form their own opinion. I certainly think you can comment on what you find disturbing and not scary without ruining the game... then again, if you don't think it's disturbing to throw around body parts, I don't really understand what you're finding disturbing about Outlast, other than an... uncomfortable meeting with a certain surgeon. | ||
