Amnesia 2: A Machine for Pigs

Hey there, Internet! If it hasn't been clear so far, I am mostly a console gamer, but today I will be talking about a very popular PC game known as Amnesia. The first game became very popular for how unparalleled it's horror was and well...how horrifying it was! Just recently though, it has finally released a game perhaps just as scary, if not scarier and it is Amnesia 2: A Machine for Pigs. In this article, I'll cover some of the background and game play. So, let's start off with the background to the game. It is set in London around 1899-1900 with a very wealthy industrialist named Oswald Mandus as the main character and focuses on his relationship with his children. Upon returning from a dreadful trip to Mexico, tragedy struck him. Ill with a fever, Mandus has dreams about a "dark machine" until he wakes up. He doesn't know however that three months have passed and as he is re-awakening, he hears the loud noise of a mysterious machine's engine starting. Seems like a great start to a horror game to me. So, let's switch over to game play. It is, same as the last game, a survival horror game from a first-person perspective. Some elements have changed since The Dark Descent, one reason being that they wanted to add a "fresh feel" to the game. The environment has been said to be "significantly different" from The Dark Descent with larger areas and even outdoor environments (more area to run from your fears in.)

Also, to avoid people predicting enemy movement based off playing the first game, the developers "tweaked" the AI system to make them behave differently from last time. However, despite all these changes, it still has the same core feelings as the first so fans hoping for more of the same feelings as the first won't be disappointed while people wanting a fresh, new scare should be happy too. Oh, and one last thing. The inventory, oil, and tinderboxes have been removed from the game. This is probably a change they made to give the game a fresher feel, who knows? Last for game play (this is kind of obvious, but) the game will remain a single-player game as it's predecessor was. The game released on September 10th for Steam and should also be available anywhere else it is set to be sold. So that about wraps up all of the info I have on the game. If you want more information or want to watch some game play, I strongly suggest YouTube as a source for that. For those who don't know, there is a famous You tuber known as PewdiePie, famous for Amnesia videos and I also  recommend checking him out on YouTube. Thanks for reading!
