    Despite being a set that includes three entries in the same series, the Amnesia: Collection actually offers three very distinct experiences. The Dark Descent is a milestone for the genre that belies its own mechanical issues by offering some good, old-fashioned scares. Justine is a brief but experimental foray into gruesome puzzle-solving that’s well worth the detour, and A Machine for Pigs takes a more stripped-down approach to the original’s systems, but introduces a much more immersive story as a result. It’s a proper little time capsule that’s perfect for those who’ve already exhausted their fear glands with Outlast and Layers of Fear and want another means to chill their blood in the run-up to Halloween.

    Amnesia: Collection is a faithful port of the classic horror franchise. Despite the aged graphics, the gameplay and scares hold up incredibly well, even in handheld mode. While I don’t ever expect to be playing it this way (in order to prevent a situation like that in the trailer), having the ability to more easily take Amnesia on the go is always a good thing in my book. If you’ve never experienced Amnesia before, there’s never been a better time to dive into it than now!

    It’s a shame it isn’t a full remake, but The Dark Descent remains one of the most frightening and atmospheric video games ever made.

Don't buy, Don't believe the lies, go watch walk through and notice the frame drops it is all a trap.
    When I played for 10 minutes, I got softlocked 2 times due to a glitch which caused my guy to not be able to pick up things or push doors, locking me in rooms untill a restart.    … Full Review »

But the actually gameplay is sad. Puzzles that are either really easy or involve searching around forever, or running away from things. That's it.… Full Review »

    I'd gladly give 9 to this collection because I love Amnesia. I gave it a try because it was cheap as hell and I had some eShop coins.

    The three games (TDD, Justine, AMFP) are amazing but it's not incredible on Switch. During a Dark Descent run, the game froze and the audio looped for ten seconds during a script. There is also some framerate issues. In Machine for Pigs, there's a lot of tiny visual glitches too. Also, when you press X (aka your journal) there is an ugly buggy fade-out effect.
    That being said the games are incredible in my opinion, but if you can play them somewhere else, go for it.    … Full Review »
