I think on its own, it's a fine walking sim with a cool story and some really neat ideas that it doesn't fully deliver on. But in the context of it being a sequel to The Dark Descent, this game becomes more a baffling entry into the series, from a gameplay front. Removed are the memorable enemy encounters from the original, reduced to brief sequences that added nothing to the experience. Frictional didn't even develop this, only published, this game put it in the hands of the people behind Dear Esther, which explains a lot. Presentation is still top notch, but it fails to bring an interesting or continuously entertaining gameplay experience. Okay walking sim, terrible entry into the Amnesia franchise.
