Amnesia was the first horror game I've
succesfully played, yes.
I'm really terrible with other horror games such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill, where you can fight enemies. In both RE 1 and 2 I haven't got pass the first zombies. The controls are horrible in my opinion and I'm so bad at shooting things. Silent Hill went well until I encountered two enemies at once. I just suck with combats so badly. L4D2 is a bit easier because of its' first person view but even then I shoot like a granny most of the time.
Only in platformers and rpgs I can actually kill something without problems since enemies in them don't move around like hyperactive shiba dogs.
So, I've always loved horror games but haven't been able to play them. When I saw Amnesia's trailer and WHAT THE FUCK video I didn't think twice will I buy it or not. Because of Amnesia I also heard about Penumbras and loved them as well (Overture and Black Plague.) Heck yes, I'm such a pro in running, hiding and yelling mom.
