[HumiliatioN]

I liked very much A Machine for pigs, but overall it lacks or storytelling a bit and ruins gameplay sometimes.

My full review:

Story: I liked how everything starts, but later on it becomes even scarier, when you read the notes about rising piggies and you reveal more secrets later on, but! I was disappointed when you can see dead childrens and then vanished and you already know there were dead already?! That was quite annoying imo and maded me little angry and story really lacks sometimes a lot. Overall it was still great adventure to go through. - 7.0/10

Gameplay:

Gameplay was pretty intense and actually liked that you don't need any tinderboxes or oil to fuel up your lantern and wondering most of the time in the darkness, but still I think it lacks and was kind of lame and unrealistic to play this way. When I reached first puzzles I was disappointed again.. because this game didn't have that inventory and it ruined completely "challenging puzzles part" for me. Still, I liked play this way now and it was more faster to progress, but I hope next installment doesn't have "removed inventory, never-ending lantern and so on.." - 6.5/10

Map Design:

I was really impressed how whole game was designed, so much rooms to explore and search stuff... Umm nope. Because of the "disabled inventory" blah. Well.. still map design was impressive, magnificent and really loved to see "Amnesia TDD assets" here aswell and looked how much they used those assets too. Outside enviroments were really great, streets and everything, really put effort on those. Overall this was one of the strongest point of the game. - 9.5/10

Lightning:

I can't really much say about this.. some places were lacking the realistic lightning like inside those windows and ceiling lamps. Overall it was quite nice, but I expected better lightning. - 6.0/10

Puzzles:

Puzzles were interesting and well executed, but still there were too easy I mean not ALL of them, but sometimes I didn't have to even think to progess on maps, I just switched levers normally like in ATDD, but more faster progressing in this game. Overall really nice ones, but lacks of challenging ones. 7.0/10

Scares & monsters:

I never watched Let's plays who pre-ordered the game only one trailer, so I didn't spoil any monsters for ruining my game experience, I was clueless how they look like and yeah, I was really scared when first encounter was coming and they chased me, I was really terrified, but later on I was disappointed they showed up second time and I was like "Lol a monster well you are not scary you are just a humanpig and ugly looking one" that was my reaction seriously and I they didn't scared me anymore at all. Overall new monsters was good add, but still failed miserably how they scare players. - 5.5/10

Music:

This was one of my favourite things on the mod and I really enjoyed listening them and some ambience sounds make the atmosphere really terrifying and scary enviroment. - 8.0/10

Atmosphere:

Well.. What I can say? This was one of the greatest atmospheres I ever played through, okay there are couple maps they don't fit at all and ruins sometimes, but overall really good executed and I was literally cringing because of the atmosphere is so great in this game. Enough said. - 9.5/10

Overall: If you like Amnesia or playing other FPS horror games, you should check this one out aswell. It's not a masterpiece at all, but much more better then "Justine DLC" stupid to compare these two, but you get what I mean by that. AMFP is really well designed by map designing part, atmosphere and really horrifying music. I expected so much more and feeled in the end little disappointed and reaction was like "Oh darn... that was it? Well.. good job, but make it longer next time please" I still enjoyed playing this and won't regret it, I will complete the game again sometime when I have more time.

Verdict: 8.0/10 - Really terrifying and succesful horror game after TDD.
