However this means they rarely overload you with an uncontrollable threat which I enjoyed as a lot of games these days will pointlessly throw enemies your way.

That is pretty much the main interactions that you can make as a player, other than solve puzzles as it is a lot more of an exploratory game than Amnesia: The Dark Descent, you will encounter enemies, but you'll know when you're safe and be able to keep your distance in some cases. Light can very easily draw attention to yourself though, so youвЂ™ll want to be careful with how you use it as you donвЂ™t want to attract unnecessary attention to yourself, but of course unless you want to ruin the game and turn up the gamma you will need to use your lantern sparingly unless you want to play by running into walls until you find a door in the pitch black. This does mean the only way to create your own light in most cases is your lantern, but there are lamps dotted around in some rooms that you have the ability to turn on and off. It is of course because The Chinese Room felt that A Machine for Pigs didn't need any form of inventory system and I was absolutely fine with this as it didn't then overcomplicate the game. You can only ever pick up objects and place them down as Mandus obviously has very small pockets that can only take pieces of paper. There is no use of tinderboxes though as there is no inventory in the game, if you were used to them from Dark Descent. You may think youвЂ™ll spend a lot of time in the dark, which is very true, but you'll pick up a lantern during the game which you can use to generate a bit of light. You do of course find out which way it moves or if it doesnвЂ™t very shortly after trying to open it, however be prepared that there could always be something behind the door.

I did find that doors can be a little confusing when explaining if a door is push or pull. This use of the mouse is also reflected in picking up and moving other items too. The opening of a door is controlled with the mouse in a movement similar to how you physically open a door, you push forwards.

Other than of course running and crouching, youвЂ™ll also want to get the hang of opening doors, not that itвЂ™s a tough thing to do, but if you wish to be quiet youвЂ™ll want to be careful and master how to perform a simple task like opening a door. It does however feel like from my aversion of being seen that I could have spent a little time walking around admiring the paintings and dГѓВ©cor of the mansion instead of wondering when something was coming to get me. Amnesia has a light and dark system which isn't really explained for you, however I felt as long as I was in the dark and far away from things I was pretty safe. Crouching and hiding behind objects will help keep you a little safe, as long as youвЂ™re not crouching underneath a bright light of course.

If IвЂ™m truly honest I spent most of the game in crouch and IвЂ™m sure you may as well because generally if you can see something, it can also see you, so hiding is your best friend.

Either way there isnвЂ™t much that you need to learn, it uses the standard keyboard controls for player movement, crouch and run so any pc gamers out there will feel at home and the other controls you need to know are all based around interactions.

The game is minimalistic in controls and hand holding, plus you can also turn off all hints should you know the controls beforehand or not want any text on screen. For those that havenвЂ™t experienced a game like Amnesia before you may feel a little unguided at first. Quite unsure of how much time has passed and where anyone else is, it is then when you jump into the game. The year is 1899 in Victorian London, and you wake up in your own bed that oddly has a cage around it. You play a seemingly wealthy fellow named Oswald Mandus who has recently returned home from a trip to Mexico that sadly went horribly wrong.

Now as this is the kind of game that you only really get to experience once IвЂ™m going to promise not to spoil anything but at the same time let you know what I thought of the game at the same time, if I was talking spoilers, you'd know I really enjoyed it. The second that you run Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs the instant the menu appears you know youвЂ™re in for a treat, it makes an impact from the booming music that touches you from its sheer presence and eerily lit background of machinery to draw your attention.
