5.6/10

" When I finished playing [i]Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs,
I didn’t check under my bed for monsters that might be lurking about,
and I didn’t avoid turning off the lights in my room for as long as I
possibly could. I went to sleep, safe and sound, and didn’t have a
single nightmare about a crazy squealing pig man trying to kill me in
the night: and that’s exactly why this game falls incredibly short of
what it could have been."[/i]

Sounds like the reviewer just didn't bother to immerse himself in the game. Ah well, there's always going to be a few ...

8.5/10

"Go ahead an pick this title up on the 10th, but only if you’re a fan of puzzle-driven, horror titles. If you feel the need to stomp your opponents heads in Gears of War style, then it’s not for you, but if you like subversive, unsettling experiences that demand patience and quick-thinking, and might make you piss your pants at the same time, then this game is definitely for you."

"The raft of reaction videos and (loving) hatred of The Dark Descent will certainly be around for A Machine for Pigs. If you’re looking for a thrill at one in the morning with the lights off and the headphones on, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs will have you waking up the neighbours in a matter of minutes.
But if you’re anything like me, you’ll probably want to crawl under the bed and cry for a few hours."

"After a tame introduction, you’ll find yourself striding with a little
too much confidence; your lantern held just a little too high. Then you
see it: a huge, ungainly form darting across the opening at the bottom
of a staircase. Suddenly your lantern is a hindrance, running feels far
too risky, and you crouch in a corner hoping this creature doesn’t get
too close. After an hour of 'easy' exploration, you welcome back the
real survival horror of Amnesia."
