Amnesia is barely all jump scares. You can go through a whole level, shitscared because you've heard a monster spawning(which may cause a jump scare) or just because the envoriment is so scary, yet you never actually encounter the monster. Sometimes you'll know the monster is around a corner and you'll look, you'll be scared to death but it's not a jump scare.
Jump scares aren't bad or cheap by definition. They're bound to happen in a horror game, but in a game like Amnesia they don't get old after a time and there is a lot more creeping you out.
