An indirect sequel to the original Frictional Games hit Amnesia: The Dark Descent, A Machine for Pigs puts you in the mind of wealthy industrialist Oswald Mandus, a man with a terrible secret that he can no longer remember. However, this is one of those gaming experiences that I will remember and talk about for a very long time.Descend into madness with the survival horror game Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. There may not be a lot to it as an actual “game” if I am being honest. It is a very well-made horror game with a story that stuck with me for days after I had beaten it. I really enjoyed my time with Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. For me though, I liked how straightforward it was as I was so invested in the story. The gameplay I feel might be a tad too simple for some people. None of the puzzles are all that difficult, but at the same time, they are not exactly rewarding when you do one. These puzzles are rather simple and usually revolve around things like finding a fuse, moving a box and so on. You will also have to solve some puzzles. You can find things like audio logs and diary entries that greatly flesh out the story. You will be spending most of your time exploring. Rather than build upon what its predecessor did, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs strips away some mechanics for a more streamlined kind of experience.

If you played The Dark Descent, you will have an idea of what to expect here.
