AMFP Member Review Thread

I think AAMFP is a masterpiece, but it's headed towards storytelling
more than scares. Also, I can't throw items which is really awful, but
I'll live.
The engine had a lot of good features like 3ds Max implemented into it. But disabling the Custom Story option was a bad call.

Now, TCR's lighting. It was pretty good, but I don't think that they
connected a light to the lamp entity. In one area of the game, I see
splotches of light in the ceiling so I don't think they made the radius
big enough.

Also, it's really dark. Most areas would have some illumination WITHOUT lights.

I think AAMFP is pretty good, but compared to The Dark Descent, this was
more story, but less scare except ATDD which steps the balance to Scare
more.
The atmosphere is good enough. You could hear pig moaning and stuff when
exploring an area. So I think TCR could done the game well enough
WITHOUT any dangers of Monster encounters or maybe just one.

Well, since this is like a review, let's continue.

The plot and story was a little off too. I mean, what does the Machine
and Oswald's children have to do with this? Why did Oswald made the
Machine in the first place?

Outdoor areas. TCR was smart with this. They made outdoor areas but made sure that other areas are not accessible.

TLDR:
AAMFP was Amnesia leaning towards storytelling more than scares and ATDD was reverse of that.

The atmosphere is good, but not that professional.

I think this game could be much, much better.

8.5/10
