Disappointed with AAMFP

[cantremember]

It seems the complaints about this game revolve around the most extraneous and diminutive aspects that have been removed or changed since TDD.

If I remember correctly TDD wasn't about throwing inanimate objects around or having an inventory.

Searching for tinderboxes in the dark and using the physics engine to move the boxes or closer doors was part of the gameplay, aswell as solving puzzles. Since you don't kill monsters and for a large portion of the game there are no monsters I wouldn't call this "extraneous and diminuitive".

Without these, the gameplay now just consists of walking around and pulling handles to open passageways. Without inventory the puzzles have become very simple too.
Now it's only about being scared to meet a monster, gameplay-wise. The story is very good but the gameplay is very much lacking and unoriginal. (what's original about a mansion and pulling handles and replacing broken fuse).

But yes, the game is good if you don't compare it to its predecessor. It does have a good story. It does have some scary moments, but it's not as good as Amnesia. Without the physics or anything to touch, the game seems a lot more primitive and outdated too.
