Amnesia Rebirth is a cruel yet mesmerising experience that goes above and beyond in not only its existential horror but its intuitive puzzles and gripping story that goads you ever onwards

The first person hide and seek horror game genre has been a fast growing one ever since the release of Amnesia: Dark Descent. A transformative survival horror game that propelled the genre’s popularity, especially among streamers. Since 2010, the genre has seen an oversaturation with games trying to recapture the horror where games like Outlast have succeeded. Meanwhile, others like Outlast 2 and the Remothered franchise couldn’t come close. Now Frictional is back with their first game si...

Amnesia: Rebirth is a more mature effort from Frictional Games, with an increased focus on story, making the whole experience feel more like a complete game than its predecessors. The new setting is an eerie place to be as well, even if it's not quite as 'conventional horror' as the locations that make up the Amnesia: Collection. There are some puzzles we got hung up on for a bit longer than we'd like, and the story is a bit vague at times, but this is still an enjoyable adventure overall and one we can definitely recommend for Game Pass players, especially those looking for an immersive horro...

Amnesia: Rebirth is a horror roller coaster that flies by, even if parts of the narrative and the game’s stealth and physics system aren’t always up to task. It has a lot on its mind and is never afraid to give the player a new encounter and eschew a previous idea entirely. Chances are that by the end of the game, you’ll have plenty to remember.

Amnesia: Rebirth is a sequel to Frictional Games’ Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Sandwiched in between these two games was their 2015 game, SOMA, a modern SF tale set in an underwater lab. Dark Descent was a survival horror game where the protagonist was mostly powerless while SOMA was a more heavily narrative driven drama. Amnesia: Rebirth finds itself somewhere between these two games in providing players with a new experience.

In the earlier, sandy hours, that restlessness is a boon—the work of a developer surveying the drier sweeps of a genre and divining a bright pool of ideas.

We tell you, it’s a good game! It’s not average! It might have some problems here and there, but you have to admit it is a “Good” game.

Frictional Games' first Amnesia game in 10 years is here in the form of Amnesia: Rebirth which can aptly be described as decent.

Fitting my thoughts on Amnesia: Rebirth in a single paragraph feels like an impossible task. It’s an effective character-driven narrative with forgettable characters; a tense horror game with a distinct lack of horror. Rebirth is exactly what the developers set out to create, which was not the Dark Descent clone that some people were hoping for.

Amnesia: Rebirth is definitely an amazing return to the series!

Given that the horror landscape has changed and evolved so much over the years, with many often taking a page out of the original’s handbook, Rebirth simply doesn’t do enough to warrant the same level of impact, often feeling like just another entry in the series.
