second chapter of amnesia: horror game of the year or not ?

Ah, so that's what they meant about the "old tricks [to glitch the monsters]" not working

You must understand that if there was combat in the game, it would probably ruin the game. The reason that TDD was so successful was because it was actually scary, mainly because there was no combat. Horror games like Dead Space are not scary and I believe they are more of a shooter than horror. Think about it, if you were able to shoot the monsters, it would completely ruin the horror of the game, it wouldn't be so scary apart from a few cheap jump scares. Amnesia is meant to make you feel isolated, alone and scared. Combat would completely destroy that.
