A solid expansion that puts the fantastic combat front and center, while also acting as an epilogue to Ragnarök, bringing closure to Kratos' story.
There is so much fanservice in this, and it does a great job connecting the old and new games. I was able to appreciate the throwbacks, despite not having played all the entries in the series.

Amnesia: Rebirth in my eyes is a criminally underrated horror game. Sure, the puzzles and level design can be awkward and the story can feel a bit all over the place.
However, the core of this game is rock-solid and really engrossing. I was scared shitless at many points throughout and I always had the feeling of barely making it. I don't know how much of the tension was just an illusion but it absolutely worked - and using matchsticks for light that quickly burn away and can be hard to come by is a cruel but brilliant mechanic.
It doesn't just get the scares and atmosphere right though, no: Tasi Trianon, the protagonist of this story and its beating heart, is such a wonderful and fascinating character. I love how much the game grounds you in her experience both as a pregnant woman as well as someone who's suffered a terrifying loss. The actress absolutely nails the performance too.
So much of one's enjoyment hinges on whether or not you can empathize with her and I certainly did.
And honestly, even though the puzzles can feel awkward, I never felt like they were too obscure to solve - just requiring you to patiently experiment.
This was my first Amnesia game, and especially towards the end I was pleasantly surprised, baffled at the ratings too.
7,5/10
