[Reviews] Amnesia – A Machine For Pigs

[Alardem]

I find it morbidly amusing how people treat reviews as universal truths.

The vast majority of people view reviews in the wrong way and use them in the wrong way.

"10 OUT OF 10??!!??!?!?! NEED TO PLAY IT. IT'S AMAZING."

"5/10? Meh, it's shit. The reviewer clearly hated it so i'll hate it too."

I wish people would teach the gaming ''scene'' how to interpret reviews.

If common points are raised by multiple people, that's more than enough reason to make a judgment about the game i.e. that it's easier than Amnesia 1/more story-based/got an ageing engine.

That said, I'm not surprised to see that people have grown accustomed to Frictional's scare tactics. I always cared more about the story than anything else.
