Yeah! The story did pick up. At some point I realized some of my peeves were in fact part of the story the game was telling. There are some clear themes carried from Dark Descent but approached differently, which I'm finding interesting.

Gameplay-wise it's still a big step back, but halfway through the narrative took over and it's not bothering me as much. Stopped playing right before the final act, will try to finish it before New Year's.

As an aside, I realized today that when the lights and lantern in-game start flickering, the Dualshock controller light rapidly switches between light blue and white, creating a 'flickering' effect which I thought was neat when playing in the dark. Thought I was crazy at first when my living room was flickering as well.

About halfway through I'd say and pretty underwhelmed. I came in with an open mind, but not much going for it so far... Real step back from everything that made Dark Descent great.

Hoping the story picks up! It's got potential, but hasn't grabbed me so far.

Unlike the first 'amnesia' this one becomes a walking-simulator with simple, but enjoyable puzzles. Its story is disturbing and worthy of Frictional games' narrative horror.

This game is undoubtedly a little different from Amnesia: The Dark Descent, where is more focused on the story rather than the player always hiding in every step he made in the game, which is a plus in my opinion, but as in the previous title the protagonist is dushbag.
