The monsters in the first game were far more scary, and added to the otherworldly terror that haunted players throughout The Dark Descent. I’m sorry to say this, but I’m honestly not scared by a large bi-pedal humanoid pig. In A Machine For Pigs you don’t see the monster as often as you do in The Dark Descent, so it is less predictable as to when it will appear again. With so many horror games gradually losing the horror aspect and shifting more toward action, it is refreshing to see a horror game that sticks to its true form. I am relieved to say that A Machine For Pigs has the creepy and intense atmosphere that made Amnesia such a well known horror game. Not to say that The Dark Descent was without it’s gruesome and terrifying moments, but A Machine For Pigs can be far more intense from time to time. As a result the final part of A Machine For Pigs could be considered gruesome and horrifying in ways that The Dark Descent wasn’t. Although the story does take a dark and twisted turn that The Dark Descent never really had.
The story of A Machine For Pigs is certainly an interesting concept, but there are moments when it feels slow and not as engaging as the story of The Dark Descent. As he searches for them, Oswald’s memories slowly return to him as he learns of a mysterious machine that exists somewhere beneath the streets of London. He soon discovers that his children have gone missing. You play as Oswald Mandus, a man who wakes up in his house with no memory of how he got there. It is a completely different setting with no returning characters.
It is difficult to say that Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs is a sequel, given that it has little to nothing to do with the previous game.

For those who are unaware of who they are, The Chinese Room is the team behind Dear Esther which was originally a mod using the engine from Half-Life 2. Although I will admit that I did not expect The Chinese Room and Frictional Games to team up and make the sequel. With the success of Amnesia: The Dark Descent back in 2010, it does not come as a surprise that Frictional Games would make a sequel.
