    These games are fantastic but not on Switch. The Dark Descent runs very poorly and experiences low frame rates. Justine runs smoothly but can suffer from hiccups as well. I will buy this on PC again.

    Got it today and i already love it. The dark atmosphere, the sound is amazing and for what i understand is a game from 2010 it does look quite good. I am really getting a feeling of dread when playing. Plus three games for around 25 bucks is not bad!

    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.    … Expand

    It has great atmosphere; the visual design, the voice acting, writing, sound design, music, and insanity effects all come together to create a really cool vibe. 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.

    The frame rate is ruining the experience, you expect 60 fps like ps4? you don't get it, the game is going to have maximum of 30 FPS and even that is nearly never the case, whatever people are telling you is a lie, whatever the critics say is a lie, the frame rate is from 1-30 which is mainly at the single digit.

    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.    … Expand

    -The Dark Descent:It’s really creepy and scary in a good way. Ambiance is perfect for scares and tension. I love horror and suspense and I’ve got chills a couple of times. The only thing is that it doesn’t hints or gives you a little guidance and sometimes is jarring to know what to do specially when your being followed by shadowy figures.

    -Machine of pigs: it’s dark and tense. Keeps the scary factor well but not as good as TDD.
    -Justine: it’s okay. Has it’s scary moments. Specially when been chased .
    Highly recommend this collection if you like horror games.    … Expand

    The Amnesia games are some of the best horror titles to ever be released, but things have moved on and its dated graphics, lack of polish and some performance issues hinder the Nintendo Switch release. Ultimately, however, if you are a fan of horror games, the package is worth it alone just to play The Dark Descent, one of the most influential games of the past ten years. Just be aware that, as the darkness in these games, time has not been its friend.

    Amnesia is a horror classic that has lost a little of its bite over the years, but can still provide some genuine scares. Performance issues do bring this version down, but the games are still worth experiencing for new players.

    Amnesia Collection on Switch may lack the slick polish and fidelity of the PlayStation 4, but at the very least, The Dark Descent survived mostly intact, and is still an excellent version of the scariest game ever made. It is too bad that the other entries in the collection are not quite up to the Frictional Games' standard of quality, but even in their own merits they are decent compared to most other first-person horror titles on Switch. A Machine For Pigs, being the least restraint and absurd, makes it hard to take it seriously, but does have some qualities that make it an amusing guilty pleasure. At the very least it never bores.
