Amnesia: Rebirth - Before You Buy

Amnesia Rebirth (PC, PS4) marks the return of the famous horror series made for the age of YouTube/Twitch. How is it? Let's talk.

maybe not quite as good as the original, but still very cool and perfect for this time of year 🎃🎃

Ah, can't wait for the "speedrun, 0 damage, no sanity, no lantern mode".

I just wish they carried over some of the environmental storytelling they did so well from Soma.

[Sundergaard]

Soma is incredible, I highly recommend it. That game delves into some existential questions that really make you think while you’re shitting your pants

All of Frictional's games so far have been fantastic - from the story to the mechanics and their connection, deep philosophical themes, character characterization, great gameplay and phenomenal atmosphere. Penumbra, Amnesia, SOMA are masterpieces of the genre and gaming in general. Really great attention is paid to even the smallest details. In addition, they have their own engine, really every honor Frictional Games. If this game is at least half as good as the previous ones, a truly great work of art awaits us. Games are art - the proof are exactly those of Frictional Games.

If anyone was interested, the letter shown at 7:33 mark talks about someone named M. Espérandieu. The name seemingly resembles "Espère en dieu" which translates from French to English as "Hope in God".

I liked soma a lot. It always makes things more scary when you can’t defend yourself.

[Swaggaccino]

I want a Soma spinoff - sequel/prequel whatever. That atmosphere was so fucking memorable, I need more.

I remember pewdiepie’s plathroughs of amnesia, that was the golden age.

[Zyltria]

Damn, the thumbnail is more terrifying than the game itself

3:16 I'm getting CoD:MW2 flashbacks. The plane, the rocks/ mountains and the sand flowing through the air in the distance/ background.

Just bought this. Going to try it when I get home. My first game from them was SOMA. Silent hill 2 and 3 are the pinnacle of horror in my POV.
SOMA blew my mind, if you haven't played it yet, get soma. The story is just so good, im excited to try Amnesia Rebirth.

[wozthescott]

I already bought it and developed amnesia so I’m buying it again and taking extra precautions not to get it again.

“The game feels very atmospheric, this is mainly due to the atmosphere.”

Honestly I only keep watching Gameranx videos to see how low the writing standards can slip.

SOMA left me speechless and had me think about it years after. Brilliant game!

"What does it say ? My french is piss poor"
**Text clearely written in english**
Those kind of things threw me out of the game i wish that she spoke less too

The title definitely makes this game sound like a remake. I’m happy to see it’s a new story, but I’m not in love with the direction they took it in.
