Don't expect a Dark Descent successor
Was excited for this game, but it is unfortunately a total miss. Amnesia: Dark Descent was an awesome experience. Rebirth feels like a walking simulator. My biggest problem with the game are the constant interruptions. You can't go 5 steps without the game taking away control of your character. A memory, a mini cutscene, something. It does not let me play the game... It's way too excessive. Something that I felt was done right in Dark Descent was the fact that you were kept on edge during your exploration with the pieces of lore well spaced apart and interesting. Rebirth just felt like you're pressing W to run through a well marked and linear track. The puzzling aspects of Dark Descent are also pretty non existent here.
