Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
122 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story: Extremely detailed and well written; I used Gemini to understand the notes, diaries and flashbacks (copy pasted from Amnesia wiki) as there were advanced English words which were a bit difficult to understand.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
80 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay: A true horror experience with chase sequences, dark areas with draining sanity, monster screaming sounds.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
69 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Lighting and shadows make every hallway terrifying, and the sound design is phenomenal — you can hear monsters before you see them, which keeps tension sky-high.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics: Even though its an old game, still immersive lighting, tense atmosphere.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Hardware performance: Well optimised; Ran on my i3-1005g1, intel uhd graphics, single channel 8gb ddr4 ram at 720p maximum settings (except SSAO at medium with 32 samples); I got 40-50 fps on average, so great to lock at 30 fps for a playable experience.
