This game was a very mixed bag for me honestly.
The atmosphere was incredible as always, as it seems the Amnesia developers have perfected their craft of beautiful yet terrifying environments; this one varies from the first game by introducing a bit more of a modern feel, yet still taking place in the late 19th century. All of the machinery and factory feel of the game is a joy to experience.
The same can be said for the soundtrack, it is extremely immersive and it really sold the deal in some certain areas.
However, the game really falls apart in other areas. The actual gameplay feels like a straight up downgrade, as the inventory is completely removed and you can only interact with your environment to a limited degree... there was usually a single route to take and you very rarely did any backtracking.
Story was also quite disappointing... despite the use of such interesting concepts, the game didn't do much to immerse you in it and I struggled to immerse myself even if I really tried to.
