Games in which you felt more immersed than in Amnesia

[Bridge]

Sorry it took me so long.
Considering the story of Amnesia in Penumbra, one can agree they aren't particularly complex. It is basically smaller scale horror plot based on a Lovecraftian universe. But however, both Amnesia and Penumbra have redeeming qualities entangled in the story, and in Amnesia that would be the conflict and the story of Daniel and Alexander which I found very intriguing. Yes, you are perfectly right if I understood your point correctly, the storytelling in Amnesia is superb, so you easily forget any obvious plot holes.

However, I do not like everything about Amnesia, for instance, I think that the ending is done badly, and I have a similar opinion about Penumbra ending; The Tuurngait trials are not done very well, and the ending itself is a little bit lacking. It seems that Frictional has a little problem with proper ending of their games. Considering Amnesia, there shouldn't be several endings, but only one ending and it should have been probably based on the one where Alexander escaped and Daniel is left to confront the Shadow. I also have very mixed feelings about Agrippa, and whether he should have been included in the game, and I could easily raise the same question about Clarence.

To answer you other question, I remember perfectly well the last third of Penumbra, and of course, it was terrifying, but nothing can compared to the feeling of dread I've got by the Transept and the Choir levels of Amnesia, when I fully realized what kind of monster Daniel is. The whole games I was terrified of the Shadow and was starting to hate Alexander with a passion, and it turned out that Daniel was even a bigger monster than both of them.. That really blown my mind.

And oh, one more thing why Amnesia is more immersive that Penumbra, it has a bloody good soundtrack which I remember note by note. I've played Penumbra twice, and can only vaguely remember the main menu music, and some monster encounter music.

We are agreed.
